Product Information

Thanks to NetGalley and Kensington Books for providing this title in exchange for an honest review! At Her Service offers a poignant and heartwarming look at modern love. With affirming themes of found family and self-belief, plus a sizzling romance that roars into a wildfire, prepare to fall hard for Max and Sadie! Amy Spalding is a powerhouse in romance, and At Her Service is a validating gift to the queer community.” 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. I absolutely HATE romance books that have no real issue but create drama just because *THERE HAS TO BE SOME.* Perfect for fans of Casey McQuiston and Meryl Wilsner, a funny, heartwarming, and moving novel about bad breakups, found families, and embracing life.

Well, I loved the cover and went in cold. It was on offer and I did not read the blurb. This is very different to anything I have read before and the cast is mainly made up with Lesbians with a few using pronouns like “They”. 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 I felt really close to Nina in this book! It's very rare for me to feel a connection to a main character when I have almost nothing in common with them but I felt like the author wrote her in such a way that was so so well and I really enjoyed it when it was her POV. I adored her confidence as a fat woman and how she didn't really care that much on the public opinion. Again, I loved how she went after her dream and chose something to make herself happy. 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.Lydia Jones and her younger sister Penny have had it with boy drama. Last year was marred by relationship disasters for both of them, threatening Lydia’s standing with her school’s theater tech club and Penny’s perfect GPA. Penny has, naturally, diagnosed the problem and prescribed a drastic solution: a summer off from boys. 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.” If the Golden Girls were 30-something lesbians living in Los Angeles, this is that book.” – Claire Bone, Wild Sisters Book Company

I am voluntarily leaving my honest review* I loved how joyful, how thoughtful, and how real For Her Consideration was.” —New York Times bestselling author Jasmine Guillory Iloved how joyful, how thoughtful, and how real For Her Consideration was.”— New York Times bestselling author Jasmine Guillory Ari, on the other hand, is confident, funny, doesn't seem to take herself seriously, is caring, and great. I liked her. And Aunt Lorna was so awesome and badass and cool.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 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. I loved how joyful, how thoughtful, and how real For Her Consideration was. This book made me laugh out loud, smile big, and swoon hard. Amy Spalding made me adore Nina and her friends, fall in love with Nina and Ari, and want to live in their world forever.”— Jasmine Guillory, New York Times bestselling author 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. 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, New York Times bestselling author of The Perks of Loving a Wallflower

Spalding’s adult debut is an optimistic, empathetic choice for readers, which highlights queer women pursuing creative careers and showcases a strong emotional growth arc.” I really enjoyed the narrator of this audio book and will definitely try to listen to more books with her as the narrator. Usually I don't really think about buying an ARC which I read because they don't really reach out to me at most times but I definitely want to buy this book as a physical copy in the foreseeable future. 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 I don't know if the sex scenes were good, because there was so little chemistry between the two characters that I couldn't bring myself to read them.

Fresh, feel-good, and endlessly relatable, here is a glorious love story for the digital age and beyond. No, there is no need for useless drama. But the third act breakup *had* to happen. So, there you go, the most useless breakup that could've been fixed with a calm, face-to-face conversation. I get why that might be in typical heterosexual romance, but seriously, here? Useless.
