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 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.” I think this book is okay, but it pains me, because it could've been awesome. Also, it's a bit too long, but quite easy to read.

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. 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

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. Spalding makes her adult debut with a sweet, queer contemporary that gives equal weight to familial and platonic love as to the central romance…The steady support of Nina’s chosen family alongside the seemingly inevitable romance with Ari make this a cozy comfort-read.” — Publishers Weekly Maybe it's my biased love for Los Angeles (the city and the county) and the fact that I'm in the middle of a Canadian winter, but For Her Consideration was that warm comforting hug I sometimes crave. Do you know what I mean? You know that friend who just gives the best hugs (for those of you who like hugs)? That's this book. This book was the best of all hugs. I don't care if that's weird. That's how it felt. A sweetly sexy, thoroughly modern new novel about single life, social media, career goals, and making the bold move to grab your own happiness—and write your own love story. 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???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
