Sweet, comforting romance between two lovable main characters. Realistically and sensitively deals with the topic of clinical depression.

This novel surprised me in so many ways, but mainly in that I was not expecting to become as attached to it as I did. There’s so much to love about this story on the surface—the Parent Trap vibes, the sweet work friendship-turned-relationship between Ari and Russell, the shenanigans that ensue when they attempt to reunified their divorced bosses. But there’s so much more to discover beneath the surface of those things too, things like mental health and body image and love. Things that make this story so special and important, and it spoke to my heart in such a meaningful and touching way. So much so that I know I’ll be carrying this one with me for a long, long time.

i appreciate the efforts to depict depression and romance side-by-side, and to show a heroine whom is not "cured" by romantic love.

tbqh...i'm not sure if weather girl is a clear-cut romance novel...it reads more like chicklit or fiction? 

absolutely loved ari and russell, but was frequently annoyed by how little focus was given to them. they felt like an afterthought in their own plot. at times their bosses' relationship drama eclipses the love story of the actual leads.

What a beautiful surprise! I wasn't even in a reading slump, but I feel like this cured me of one. Was it perfect? No, there were some editing errors and a few weirdly inserted paragraphs. But I have never felt more SEEN by a book in my life.

My depression story and Ari's are remarkably similar. The symptoms, recognition, fears, and realities have all been felt by me. I related to her wholeheartedly.

AND RUSS!!! Holy shit, Russsss. I need to find more books with a sweet and reserved MMC who adores his partner ASAP. Bonus points if they are a single dad and/or do not have a six pack.

There were some things I really liked about this story, namely Russell who is such a sweet MMC and a love books with a fat love interest. 

However I didn’t enjoy
the third-act breakup, Ari was kind of a dick frankly even with her mental health issues. It was a very sweet romance but I could have done with more of them as a couple together.

So sweet and charming all while being set in the PNW. I really loved the plus size representation in this book. It was the first time I really connected with the fat character. And it was a man. Also good mental health rep that I think can apply to so many people. Even people without depression
