For Her Consideration by Amy Spalding
4.0
A sweet and addictive lesbian romance
-I would like to thank Netgalley for the eARC-
After a breakup that left her broken, Nina has left the city to live in the suburbs, focusing on her work. When Ari Fox, a young, queer actress requests a meeting so Nina can get to know her and manage her email account in a way that sounds more like Ari, things change. Afraid that she's reading into things that aren't there, Nina convinces herself that Ari isn't flirting with her, even if her presence stirs up all kinds of tingly feelings inside her. When Ari incites her to go back to working on a script she's writing, Nina agrees. But is falling for a client really the best idea?
I really enjoyed this romance! It was fresh, addictive and very, very queer, juste the way I like it. The characters were very relatable and the plus-sized rep was absolutely on point. I loved how confident Ari was with her sexuality, especially since she is a public figure. It was heartwarming to see queer joy, and a story that isn't centered on the struggles that queer people can sometimes face. The relationship between our two protagonists was truly adorable and made me feel warm and fuzzy inside. It was hot, sweet and very relatable. The writing was nice too, and guided me along well into Nina's story. The pace sometimes felt a bit slow for my taste, though, but I still had fun reading this book. I also enjoyed how the two of them grew together and the spice was really, really nice! The secondary characters were fun as well and I really liked them. All in all, it was a very warm and fun read about sapphic women in the movie industry.
I would recommend if you're looking for a sweet, sapphic romance.
"With Ari at my side, and me at hers, I was ready for anything."
