Resumen del Editor

“Pure romance magic.”—Christina Lauren, New York Times bestselling author of Love & Other Words

“I loved how joyful, how thoughtful, and how real For Her Consideration was.”—New York Times bestselling author Jasmine Guillory

Perfect for fans of Casey McQuiston and Meryl Wilsner, a funny, heartwarming, and moving novel about bad breakups, found families, and embracing life.

A Buzzfeed LGBTQ Romance You’ve Got to Read

Since a crushing breakup three years ago, Nina Rice has written romance, friends, her dreams of scriptwriting for TV, and even LA proper out of her life. Instead, she’s safely out in the suburbs in her aunt’s condo working her talent agency job from home, managing celebrity email accounts, and certain that’s plenty of writing—and plot—for her life. But a surprise meeting called by Ari Fox, a young actress on everyone’s radar, stirs up all kinds of feelings Nina thought she’d deleted for good . . .

Ari is sexy, out and proud, and a serious control freak, according to Nina’s boss. She has her own ideas about how Nina should handle her emails—and about getting to know her ghostwriter. When she tells Nina she should be writing again, Nina suddenly finds it less scary to revisit her abandoned life than seriously consider that Ari is flirting with her. Between reconnecting with her old crew and working on a new script, a relationship with a movie star seems like something she’ll definitely mess up—but what could be more worth the risk?

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.

Great Slow Burn

For Her Consideration was my first book by this author and now I look forward to more books by her! Lovely characters, the MCs and supporting cast, make this a really enjoyable book. Great dialogue and story.

Good book

Fresh voice, well told story about romance and friendship, and finding yourself definitely worth the credit.

Lovely

Didn’t want it to end. So many wonderful people in this book. This was very sweet.

Finally, a fun and literary queer love story

It’s clear that Amy lives and loves in Los Angeles — this novel is a love letter to the city and to chosen family, to lesbians and to nonbinary people, and especially to fat femmes. It’s both literary and fun, like an elevated beach read. Great for readers of Emily Henry, Dolly Alderton, and Marian Keys — but with a fresh twist. I got so happily lost in the interiority of the novel. I felt so seen and beloved in these pages. Bravo! My favorite read of the summer! 🩵

Fat girls need love too

I really liked this book. A bit like “Shrill” but with a happier ending. Good slow burn. One of my favorites in a long time.

Absolutely Loved!

A happily ever after tale that involved personal transformation as well as the girl getting the girl. I was engaged all the way through. I enjoyed all the characters. The setting was fun. I felt affirmed by having a gorgeous, fat, queer protagonist. My body image improved just from reading the book. And the narrator was fantastic. I will now go read more by Amy Spalding, who is new to me.

Fun

Overall, this was fun. The only frustrating part was the protagonist’ constant self-deprecation and her buying in to a false narrative which continued to potentially destroy relationships. It was a little too much. But…it was a fun read with a very body positive big girl, which was refreshing.

Annoying main character

Thanks goodness for the rest of the characters because the main character was incredibly whiny, dumb and annoying.

Finding belonging

I enjoyed this story for the lively depiction of characters. Everyone felt fleshed out and the dialogue did as well. My only gripe would be that our main gal, Nina seemed a little “one note” with her thought pattern that she was this “cursed, toxic person”. My thought is, if she knew that she had this supposed issue, it would make a lot more sense if she tried to seek therapy sooner. But stigma being what it is….I can see why not. Either way, a pleasant read and I will check out this author more.
