About this item

“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.

“A warm celebration of Los Angeles, chosen family, and learning how to love and be loved.”—Cameron Esposito, bestselling author of Save Yourself

“An optimistic, empathetic choice for readers, which highlights queer women pursuing creative careers and showcases a strong emotional growth arc.”–Library Journal

“A cozy comfort-read.”–Publishers Weekly

A quirky love story with a MC that can't seem to get out of her own way. The story explores how incorporating others beliefs about ourselves can become a self a full filling prophecy that leads us to believe we are not worthy of happiness. This is a good read with an interesting group of supporting characters.

When I tell you I ate this book up I am not even joking! For Her Consideration had my attention from the first page; I instantly fell in love with Nina; I adored the plus size rep, she felt very relatable at times, and I absolutely loved her relationship with her Aunt. This is a celebrity romance so I was nervous going in that I would not like Ari, but I loved her so much too. I loved the friendship that they created, and the eventual relationship. This book literally did everything I love about romance; it was funny, swoony, steamy and sweet all at the same time. Not only did I adore Nina's friend group so much but I also loved Aunt Lorna's sassy friend group. I will be looking out for whatever Amy Spalding writes next!

This was one of the best stories I have ever read. It was so good I really hated when it ended. The characters were all unique in their own way and the story line was just wonderful. Looking forward to reading another one of your books.

4.0 out of 5 stars Interesting and fun story
Reviewed in the United States on June 25, 2023
I liked all of the characters and the settings. There was an unusually lot of focus on eating and drinking which got kind of old. Nina was smart but not smart enough to solve her own problems which was disappointing. But an HEA was achieved regardless.

3.0 out of 5 stars Queer rom-com
Reviewed in the United States on November 7, 2024
After a breakup, Nina loses confidence in herself and believes she’s toxic to those around her. She stops seeing her group of queer (this word is used throughout the book) friends and focuses on her work at a PR agency. Until she meets Ari, an up-and-coming out actress. Ari pursues Nina and Nina can’t help but break her employer’s rules about not getting involved with a client. That a few years go by with none of her friends reaching out makes no sense, and there was enough drama around the “misunderstanding” that happens in rom-coms. There are also too many pages with not much happening and everyone was too perfect. I also found it contradictory that Nina was so confident in her plus-size body and new relationship, but had avoided her friends for three years, believing she was toxic. However, I liked the side story with her aunt and still enjoyed the story overall.

I'm still not quite recovered from this book. Nina is one of the richest characters I've ever read in a romance, and I was rooting for her So. Hard. Ari was frustrating and at times The Worst, but she was also so sweet and everything Nina deserved. And I love a book with a great supporting cast, and this one did not disappoint. 6/5, perfection, beauty, no notes.

4.0 out of 5 stars A refreshing read!
Reviewed in the United States on August 20, 2024
After Nina experiences a really harsh break up, where her ex basically gaslit her into thinking she was a TERRIBLE human being, she swears dating off as whole. She does the whole sha-bang and ghosts her friends and really just go into herself. Enter Ari, a joy in the world truly, who helps bring Nina back to her self.

I was admittedly frustrated with how much Nina was in denial about Ari worming her way into her life and heart. I understand that she was shelled off, but a lot of the signs were right in front of her. Have you ever wanted to shake someone so they could see? That was me with Nina. I think this book really could have thrived with the addition of Ari's POV, even if it was only a couple of chapters.

Overall, I'm always pleased with great character development and that was a Nina did so well at. It was refreshing to see that coming back wasn't easy for her, that her friends held her accountable and were able to show it. This was a great quick read and I'm so happy that I picked it up.
