I have to admit this book just wasn't for me. The story was a letdown, and it was hard for me to get into. I also couldn't connect with the characters at all.

**DNF 30%

I've started this book with lots of anticipation, because I was really interested in the kind of main character it presented. I'm always curious when it comes to mental health representation, because usually I learn a lot if the author is able to depict it well, and Solomon did it. I was also surprised by the fact we have a plus size male character, an original choice for sure that for me was another positive point.
The fact is, I didn't connect with the author's style. Even in entertaining moments or scenes, it seemed an heavy reading and I wasn't enjoying it. Maybe it wasn't the right time for me, I'll try in a little while again to see if something changes.
A real pity.

I love anything Rachel Lynn Solomon! This was another solid read that I really enjoyed and can't wait to read the next one by her!

While this wasn’t my most favourite Rachel Lynn Solomon title, I loved this book. Workplace romances are one of my favourite tropes and I think this one was excellent. The depression/mental health rep in this book is phenomenal. And a single dad who is plus sized? Melted my heart. I think there were a few moments that I’m not sure if I really understood their importance in the story, but overall, this book is wonderful.

3.5/5 stars

i thought this was a fun and sweet romance between two characters that i really enjoyed reading about! i loved that ari was independent and strong while also battling some demons. i loved that russell was a kind and caring father and also a kind a caring lover. i liked that these two characters talked about problems instead of completely shutting down.

there's something about this that's holding me back from giving it more than 3.5 stars and i think that it's that the book is not going to be super memorable for me. it served the purpose i wanted in the moment: a fun romcom that i could enjoy. but these characters and this story won't stick with me long-term.

that being said, i'd still recommend this. it's cute and sexy and has all the things you love in a good romance.

I LOVED this book - it has honest mental health representation and great Jewish representation too. I loved how the characters slowly opened up to one another and actively tied to make each other feel good. Bonus points for all the delicious steam! RLS is such a treasure and I can't wait for her next book!

Thanks Netgalley for allowing me to read this book! The title and this beautiful cover drew me in and i was excited to read this book! I will be recommending this book to others for readers advisory.

I am a member of the American Library Association Reading List Award Committee. This title was suggested for the 2023 list. It was not nominated for the award. The complete list of winners and shortlisted titles is at <a href="https://rusaupdate.org/2023/01/2023-reading-list-announced-years-best-in-genre-fiction-for-adult-readers/">

I’ve read all of RLS’ books to date and really seem to prefer her YA stuff to her adult fiction. This one didn’t work as well for me as The Ex-Talk either. I don’t know if it was the desperate idea of the two to get their bosses back together (what whole adults would do that?) or what. There was some good tension between the two MCs and a few really cute moments, but it was pretty mid overall.

This was an utterly charming contemporary romance read that grabbed my attention right from the start! Having now read two of Rachel Lynn Solomon's romance books, she's firmly earned a place as one of the authors whose books I will always want to read. She's just got a way with writing relatable characters who pop off the page and romances that capture the magic of my nostalgic favorite rom-com movies. I definitely enjoyed this one!

Hmm, I really like Rachel's writing, but I have conflicts with her characters and plot development. Besides that, some of her chapters were very long.

It is difficult for me to express well what I think of this book, I just want to say that I could not connect very well with the main character, Ari, she has stressed me a bit.

However, I don't rule out that the idea of making your bosses fall in love again is fun. I'd like to read a book about Seth and Ari's boss.

TW: depression

This was definitely a darker romance than I was expecting based on the cover and title but I liked it. After reading the book and finding out the main male character is "fat" (as he describes himself) I'm a little annoyed by the fact that the cover cleverly (or purposely) hides his body. In a world where we are constantly bombarded by the 6 pack abs and stick thin models, why can't we have some diverse representation on covers of books?!?!? Regardless, I did enjoy the book even though some parts (and the plot) were a little cheesy for me but at the heart there is a really good story about learning to live with mental health issues.

Did not finish, I couldn't get into this one though I have really loved other books from this author! 3 stars because there's nothing wrong with this book, just not for me.

At first I thought Weather Girl was going to be the same as Set It Up (a cute rom-com on Netflix). However, there are a lot of differences between that movie and this sweet and charming novel. It's my first time reading something by Rachel Lynn Solomon and I am already hungry for more!

This novel has so many great characters and situations. The steamy scenes were super hot too! I like the way Rachel sensitively handled mental health, as well. Plus, Broadway musicals are mentioned a lot. Judaism features strongly throughout the story, which I definitely enjoyed. While there wasn't actually a "villain" in this novel, there were still complications for Ari and those worked against her the same way a villain would. This balanced out well with all the humor and delicious cuteness.

Weather Girl is a wonderful rom-com that is perfect for fans of Jean Meltzer and Meredith Schorr. I'd love to see Rachel team up with both these authors.

Movie casting suggestions:
Ari: Hannah Einbinder
Russell: Emory Cohen
Torrance: Anna Gunn
Seth: Russell Wong
Elodie: Lexy Kolker
Ari's mom: Helen Slater

Dear Rachel Lynn Solomon,

Thank you for writing the books that get me out of my reading slumps. The books that make me swoon, the books that make me feel like there is someone special out there for me. The books that make me feel seen. You are an incredible writer. I will forever read everything you write.

Love,
Me!

The premise was cute and I found Russell to be an adorable love interest. I did feel that it was a bit of a slow burn the chemistry lacked some spark but overall it was a fun love story.

Friends to lovers while plotting to get their bosses back together just like the parent trap was all I needed to fall in love with this book. It was so well written and the sex scenes were STEAMY!

I thoroughly enjoyed this book. It started out a little slow but once it picked up, it was great. I loved the characters & I couldn't help rooting for them throughout the whole book. While the premise is was predictable, I still loved it. I will definitely continue following the author and will continue purchasing her books for my library.

I enjoyed the Weather Girl by Rachel Lynn Solomon. I like that the author goes beyond the traditional rom-com tropes to feature diverse protagonists. Ari teams up with Russell to get their bosses together but the real chemistry is between Ari and Russell. As they start getting to know more about each other, we find out that Ari is struggling with depression. And Russell is not your typical romance protagonist, he's a fat hero (this is from the author.) I like the way they support each other and fall for each other. Thanks #NetGalley for my early copy.

Weather Girl is a warm, lighthearted, and charming office romance. I love the characters and their chemistry. I wish there was more romantic scenes in this book and a few less about family drama, but overall, I really enjoyed this book. I can’t wait to read more from this author. Thank you to NetGalley + Berkley for my gifted e-copy!
