For Her Consideration” was a surprisingly good read for me and I really enjoyed it a lot. I say surprisingly only because I have never read anything by Amy Spalding before and it’s always hit or miss to read a new author. Thankfully, this was a very big hit and now I’ll definitely be on the look out for more sapphic romances from her. Nina frustrated me to no end; first, her level of denial was truly astonishing. Girl!! You can’t be THAT blind?? She sends you gifts, ‘be at my place tonight’ texts, she is into you!!! Thanks to NetGalley and Kensington Books for providing this title in exchange for an honest review! With vibrant prose, a setting that is both upscale glam and homey comfort, and a thrumming, pounding, romantic heart, For Her Consideration is pure romance magic.” —Christina Lauren, New York Times bestselling author

Featuring ~ single 1st person POV, LGBT ~ lesbian, celebrity, curvy girl, found family, friends to lovers, some steamage I think one of my favorite things about this was Nina’s friend group. She’s got 5 close friends that do weekly brunches and I loved them all. I also loved how they all loved each other and were not shy about showing it. Found family is a real thing and it was highlighted so well here. For Your Consideration is so many things I want in a book: funny, sexy, and super queer. Spending time in Nina and Ari's world was a joy. Amy Spalding has written a warm celebration of Los Angeles, chosen family, and learning how to love and be loved.” —Cameron Esposito, bestselling author of Save Yourself 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 RidleyI really liked Ari in the book! She was very confidant, and was super nice and respectable from the bat. I too, did question some of her decisions in the book, but I also saw were she was coming from as an observer. I loved how she too found a family in the book. Her character was very likeable in my opinion. She was also really funny and I just liked her overall. I do want an extended epilogue to see her cat because that piece of the story was hilarious out of all things! Fat positivity/representation: the MC is described as fat and curvy, as is one of her friends, and this is spoken of positively without ignoring the negative ways in which society views fat people. I liked how Nina got her closure on many things in the book with the help of her family and friends and how she went out of her comfort zone to chase her dreams independently. If the Golden Girls were 30-something lesbians living in Los Angeles, this is that book.”– Claire Bone, Wild Sisters Book Company

No cis straight men characters: I think there's only one cis straight man mentioned, who has a fun part. I loved how joyful, how thoughtful, and how real For Her Consideration was.” — New York Times bestselling author Jasmine Guillory It took about half the book for the story to really grab me but I found myself smiling and caring about what happened to the characters a lot more in the second half. Both MCs are sweet but I kept wanting to shake Nina and while Ari seems terrific, I never really got a full sense of who she is. The secondary characters save the book for me, from Nina’s aunt and her retirement community cronies to her group of friends and even her boss and boss’s assistant. Since the story is told from Nina’s POV, it makes sense that Ari’s entourage is more blurry but also explains why I didn’t feel the character as much.A fiercely funny, super sexy story about believing in your dreams, finding your chosen family, and letting yourself be loved. After reading For Her Consideration, I’m in love with both Los Angeles and Ari Fox. Amy Spalding has such a gift for snappy dialogue and loving, quirky friend groups, and I’ll read everything she writes.”— Kerry Winfrey, author of Just Another Love Song

Thank you so much for NetGalley, the publisher, the author any anyone else who provided me with an ARC of this AMAZING book! With vibrant prose, a setting that is both upscale glam and homey comfort, and a thrumming, pounding, romantic heart, For Her Consideration is pure romance magic." - Christina Lauren something that is or is to be kept in mind in making a decision, evaluating facts, etc.: Age was an important consideration in the decision.

I liked that Spalding wrote Nina as a flawed but curvaceous woman comfortable with her plus-size. Ari pulls her out of her comfort zone. She begins to enjoy old friendships once again after misunderstanding are cleared up. Lorna was a stand out in the side cast - all nicely fleshed out. I hoped that Nina would finish her screen play since that would tie up the storyline nicely. A bit of angst then we have a happy ending. What I did like was that Nina’s issues were not assumed to be magically solved by having a girlfriend, and that she got therapy. That’s actually really refreshing; it always irks me when a girl who thought her whole life she was ugly and stupid believes the first boy who tells her otherwise.
