A review by joanna1905
For Her Consideration by Amy Spalding
4.0
This is only the second book of Amy Spalding's that I've read and it didn't disappoint. While I think it would be almost impossible for Spalding to write a book I loved more than 'The Summer of Jordi Parez' - one of my all-time favourite queer books - this was still an absolute delight. It reminded me a lot of Jae's Hollywood series, not in a copycat way but just a similar vibe.
It started off a little slow but once I pushed through the beginning and once Ari became more involved the story picked up nicely. I liked Nina as a main character, she was certainly flawed but it never verged into unlikeable and she and Ari worked really well together. The surrounding cast of friends and Nina's aunt all served as entertaining and likeable side characters.
I desperately wish we got a big blow-up scene between Nina (or one of Nina's friends) and Taylor where Taylor was told to shove it where the sun don't shine. The absolute irony of Taylor calling Nina toxic while being the queen of toxic herself.
All in all this was a great read, it felt a lot like Jordi Perez but more mature and adult and would honestly make a great little queer rom com.
Thank you to Kensington Books and NetGalley for making an arc available for me to review in exchange for an honest review.
