A review by cc_shelflove
Weather Girl by Rachel Lynn Solomon
3.5
Thank you to NetGalley, Edelweiss Plus, and Berkley for providing a digital copy of this book in exchange for my honest review.
I love Rachel Lynn Solomon’s writing, but this book was just okay. It was one of those not bad, but not great reads. We follow main characters Ari and Russell as they try to Parent Trap their bosses into loving each other again. Sounds fun, right?
There were so many things I loved about this book: Russell’s struggles with his body image and fears of dating due to his twelve-year-old daughter, Ari’s journeys through therapy and repairing her relationship with her mother, and the fact that Russell and Ari went to a Kraken game! I honestly loved everything about Russell in general! However, at times it felt like the author was trying to be TOO inclusive, and scenarios came off as inauthentic. It seemed like every single character had been in therapy at some point in their lives. Of course there’s nothing wrong with this, but these character portrayals seemed a bit forced.
Lastly, I really really hate the break up to make up trope. But don’t get me wrong — I’m still eager to read more Rachel Lynn Solomon.
One unresolved question: did Captain Craig ever text Ari?
