“They say don't meet your heroes. Don't work for them, either.”
The abrupt end of Ari’s engagement results in the reevaluation of her way of life. After Ari’s former fiancé tells her that her inability to turn off her “sunshine” personality resulted in their relationship's end. This observation has Ari noticing aspects of her life and mental health.
Ari has her dream job as the local TV meteorologist working with the legendary weatherman Torrance Hale. However, realistically Ari and others within her work are in the crossfire between the divorced Hale couple.
Ari and coworker Russell decide that the divorced couple should get back together. But, after small interactions between the couple, Ari and Russell start to get closer, and feelings begin to develop.
The main characters are an intriguing couple; as Ari tries to maintain the sunshine personality that her former fiancé hated, Russell notices Ari’s subtlety. Russell is dealing with his own insecurities, such as his weight, which keeps him from acknowledging his feelings for Ari. It does give a realistic image of people with issues falling in love but having those issues keep them from acting on their feelings. For Ari, her mental health issues tend to overwhelm her partners. Russell life as a teenage father and divorcee feels his baggage would be too much for a potential partner.
Weather Girl does focus on the perspective of Ari. However, I’m a sucker for romances with the view of the male and female protagonists. The angst that could have been witnessed would have been interesting. It also would have given insight into Russell’s thoughts while his feelings for Ari grew and the possible struggles of being a single father trying to date.
