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

Top reviews from the United States
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.
