Weather Girl by Rachel Lynn Solomon
5.0

Thank you to Berkley (via NetGalley) for the ARC!

I loved this one SO MUCH! Possibly more than The Ex Talk, but I'm not quite sure yet. Rachel Lynn Solomon is definitely one of my favorite adult romance writers now! She's been great at YA, and The Ex Talk was fantastic, and this one just cements her as one of my favorite romance writers.

Things I loved about Weather Girl:
-Content warnings at the beginning of the story (about depression/mental health) and the lovely note to the reader
-The forecast chapter titles
-Russell, the sweetest, kindest LI, who also happens to be fat! I don't think I've ever read a romance novel with a fat hero
-Frank discussions of depression and therapy on the page while Ari is struggling to come to terms with her relationship with her mom and how their mental health has affected their relationship. And Ari isn't perfect. Her journey is bumpy and she slips up. Like a REAL person would
-Elodie!
-Ari's weather-related brooches
-How you can tell this book meant so much to the author <3
