Weather Girl was my first read by Rachel Lynn Solomon and certainly won't be my last! The Ex Talk has been on my TBR for so long and after reading Weather Girl, I have to move it up!
Ari has her dream job. She's wanted to be a meteorologist ever since she was a little girl. Russel is finally doing sports reporting on air. The only issue is, the work environment has become toxic. Their bosses, Torrance and Seth, used to be married to each other, and the in-office fighting between them is putting everyone on edge. Ari and Russel devise a plan to help Torrance and Seth fall back in love, but while doing so, Ari and Russel start to fall for each other...
This book was so charming and had such real characters! They didn't shy away from insecurity, depression, or anxiety. Rachel's writing brought up these serious topics but effortlessly mixed in humor and lightheartedness throughout the story.

There is not a universe in which I personally could not give this book 5 stars. Between the positive representation of someone with depression (someone who is actively seeking treatment for their depression, who knows that this is something they will probably live with forever, but still ends up happy) and the positive representation of a chubby lover (someone who knows they're fat and is self-conscious about it with new partners), there wasn't a way in which this book did not emotionally destroy me. I have never felt so seen by a book, so represented, and so exposed for the world to see. This was a beautiful and painful experience, and I have so many WONDERFUL highlighted quotes from this book.
Russell is my mountain man dream, Ari is the personification if masking, Elodie is me if I had discovered musical theater before I turned 15. I just..I could not possibly love this book more. From the author's note all the way through to the end, everything was perfect to me, and felt so real.
