Thankyou so much to Amy for the ARC of this book it exceeded all my expectations! As a 20 something who so often feels so lost in her life, be it financially, professionally or romantically watching the way Max navigated all of these things and how she pushed herself for all of the things that she wanted was so refreshing. I’d class this book as a coming of age for all of us still struggling with who we are years after our teens. The love story between Sadie and Max was so refreshing from both sides but it was Max’s friendships that shone for me, the different connections she had with each of them was so lovely in their own ways.

Amy knocked it out of the park with this one and I hope it’s on everyone’s 2024 TBR’s; not just sapphic readers because I think everyone can see themselves in Max at some point in this story.

Amy Spalding is the queen of relatable queer characters! I love the world she's built between FOR HER CONSIDERATION and AT HER SERVICE. Max is a delightfully messy protagonist, and her journey is full of hilarious twists and heartfelt moments of growth. I loved cheering for her at every step.

Thankyou to the publishers and NetGallery for allowing me to review this book.

I really enjoyed this book. The characters were so well thought out and I felt drawn to them in some ways. I would recommend this book to others.

This was a cute read! Max is a fully human main character, and while this is a romance, it’s also a novel about someone finally finding herself. It’s sweet, authentic, and fun! I did think the introduction was a bit longer than necessary, meaning that it took a while to really get into the story (and Max’s name doesn’t even come up until page 20!), but all in all, definitely worth a read!

A perfect romance about Max, a transplant to LA, who is trying to figure out who she is and how to connect with bartender Sadie but also how to move her life forward. Her influencer roommate helps get her into a program to do just that but the catch is it will all be shared. Max and Sadie, as well as the side characters are fabulous. They show the reality for most people as they try to become adults and think everyone around them has it more together. Great story with a perfect romance.

I was so excited to get my grubby hands on this, and it didn't disappoint. Amy's last book is one that I recommend constantly, and this follows Max, an assistant at the agency Nina worked for in For Her Consideration, and Sadie. I was rooting for them so much, and I know I need a thesaurus, so I use more adjectives than delightful, but goodness. I would say that my *only* issue is a personal one, that I dislike any sexy times that have to do with public food and drink spaces. That's a me issue? I mean, my 15yo won't eat mac and cheese if I use my fork to shove it onto his plate. We all have our issues. It didn't lessen my enjoyment of the book. Amy is a treasure.

I continue to love the Hollywood world that Spaulding has created. It was great to watch Sadie turn from an idea to a real person through Max's eyes, and I really loved watching Max realize that it wasn't the world holding her back. Can't wait for the next one.

At Her Service is probably one of the cutest rom-coms I have read this year. As many have said, if you liked One Last Stop by Casey McQuiston, this is right up your ally. Queer, relatable self discovery mixed with the perfect amount of romance and a little bit of spice. I really loved this one.

This is a great book. I enjoyed reading this. The characters are wonderful and the story itself is interesting. I couldn’t put it down until I finished. Recommend reading this.

Such a cute romance. I read it so fast. The characters reminded me a lot of Casey McQuiston's One Last Stop (in vibe and spirit), so if that was your thing, you'll probably like this one too. I also really loved how accurate the character's professions are. Nothing takes me out of a romance faster than when the author clearly has 0 idea of how an industry works (obviously we can play with truths and make things more malliable for story's sake, BUT when its just completely off track, I can't focus). This book does not suffer from that. Also I love that little things mentioned were true - at one point a character names a bougie candle AND IT REALLY EXISTS. I love that. (And now I am so curious what this 70$ "Big Sur After Rain" candle smells like and is it worth it?) The accuracy and the vibes were spot on and I enjoyed this book a lot.
