No cis straight men characters: I think there's only one cis straight man mentioned, who has a fun part. Oh, and don't get me started on the scene in this book where Ari takes Nina to an event for "Women in Television," then proceeds to tell her that hearing the word "women" is outdated, and that it should have been for people of "all marginalized genders." Hear that, women? You are outdated. Move aside, it's time for a marginalized penis owner to speak.

Amy Spalding's For Her Consideration is full of heat and heart as Nina learns that her story just might include the kind of love that lasts. The romance was sweet and Ari was pretty fantastic. I loved that she came with some flaws, mostly how she likes to be in control, and wasn’t shown to be perfect despite that fact she’s a celebrity. This is also a single point of view. This doesn’t always work in romance for me but it worked for me this time. I never felt like we were missing out on much by not having Ari’s point of view.

She needed a huge shake to stop believing what she said is true. Aside from that I really enjoyed her character. Now Ari, she was amazing, she adored Nina and really made her start thinking good things about herself again. She was up for anything and really just loved living her life.

Waze had told me to cut through Griffith Park, past the zoo and the Autry Museum, but I knew what a mess those intersections could be. Everyone ignored that right-lane-must-turn sign, instead jamming into the center lane at the last possible second. And even though this was as predictable as another sunny day in Los Angeles, it made me furious. Some would, in fact, would say overly furious.

Amy Spalding's writing will make you swoon, laugh, and fall in love with how outrageous Hollywood can be. I was rooting for Max and Sadie's achingly sweet romance, and found it hard to let go of them once I finished. At Her Service will stay with you in the best way possible!" I know I keep complaining about third act breakups, but this one was so bizarre. They didn’t even have a proper fight; mistakes were made on both sides, they discussed them in a three minutes phone call, and that was it, they just hung up and stopped talking.🤯 How is that even possible??? For Her Consideration by Amy Spalding is a charming romantic comedy with two winning heroines. I especially enjoyed the strong family bonds, including a truly delightful group of friends. My heart ached at the emotional moments and I giggled aloud at all the funny parts. I loved watching Ari and Nina learn to trust themselves and each other and follow their dreams. Cute and heartfelt, For Her Consideration is a highly recommended read." - Erica Ridley

Recommended to fans of contemporary romance, gay romance, HEA, Second Chance and You've Changed tropes, Hollywood romance The love interest, Ari, was very flat. She had potential, but she spends the book having very little personality aside from being attracted to Nina. She's supposedly a famous actress (part of what drew me to this book), but her fame plays absolutely no role whatsoever. She's also obsessed with getting Nina to publish her screenplay, which was a very strange, forced plot point that only served to ruin her character even more.
