Rachel L's Reviews > Weather Girl

2 stars

Ari Abrams landed her dream job working with her childhood idol as the weather girl at her local new station. And that would be perfect, except her boss is a nightmare to work with because her boss is constantly fighting with her ex at the news station. After a particularly bad fight at the Christmas party, Ari and one of the men on the sports team, Russell, decide to work together to parent trap their bosses back together.

I was trying to figure out what it was that I didn’t like about this book, and then I read some other reviews and it clicked into place: there was absolutely zero spark between Ari and Russell. On paper a cute romance between the weather girl and the sports guy sounds like the perfect romance. But it just didn’t work. There was even one point during the book were Russell said something during a sex scene that I think was supposed to be sexy or cute and I actually said “ew” out loud while reading.

I liked reading about Ari’s journey with depression I thought it was presented in an understandable and empathetic way; I’m so glad that this book portrays characters going to therapy when they need it. I liked Russell as a hero I thought he was great, but I never really got him and Ari together. That combined with a very slow plot was the kiss of death for me. I read The Ex Talk by this author and felt similarly if not better about that book, I’m not sure if I will read more by Solomon.
