I got to go to an in person signing for this book! It was so much fun! RLS was so kind, and I was super excited to dive into this book.

While I enjoyed The Ex Talk a lot, this book definitely takes the cake as my favorite of Rachel Lynn Solomon’s adult romances. I related so hard to Ari, and both her and Russell seemed to come of the page with how real they felt. I was wrapped up in the story and the shenanigans and the characters.
Weather Girl is like The Parent Trap if instead of two estranged twins trying to get their parents back together, it was two coworkers trying to get their bosses back together (and falling in love along the way). And while there’s plenty of lighthearted fun and shenanigans, it also hits on a lot of hard issues. Depression, family issues and absent parents, teen parents, and more. And the way these hard topics were handled made me love this book even more.

Honestly, the only flaw I can think of is the erasure of the OG “The Parent Trap” in favor of the Lindsey Lohan version. If you can manage to get past that horrible faux paus (I barely managed to), then you definitely need to pick up Weather Girl.
