Book Review: Weather Girl by Rachel Lynn Solomon

by Krista

❥ Thank you for the free audiobook, PRH Audio.

Synopsis

Ari Abrams has always been fascinated by the weather, and she loves almost everything about her job as a TV meteorologist. Her boss, legendary Seattle weatherwoman Torrance Hale, is too distracted by her tempestuous relationship with her ex-husband, the station’s news director, to give Ari the mentorship she wants. Ari, who runs on sunshine and optimism, is at her wits’ end. The only person who seems to understand how she feels is sweet but reserved sports reporter Russell Barringer.

In the aftermath of a disastrous holiday party, Ari and Russell decide to team up to solve their bosses’ relationship issues. Between secret gifts and double dates, they start nudging their bosses back together. But their well-meaning meddling backfires when the real chemistry builds between Ari and Russell.

Working closely with Russell means allowing him to get to know parts of herself that Ari keeps hidden from everyone. Will he be able to embrace her dark clouds as well as her clear skies?

Thoughts

This was a cute story to enjoy between heavier reads. I love a light contemporary romance to lift my spirits, and this one was a ray of sunshine! So far, I’ve enjoyed the few books that I’ve read by Solomon.

As a former therapist, I especially appreciate the strong and positive role that counseling plays in this book. Soloman gave Ari just enough backstory and ongoing adversity to provide satisfactory depth and a marked personal growth in our FMC’s story.

If you’re looking for a sweet romance story about a career girl who gets her HEA, this is a good one to pick up. This story includes the following rep: Jewish faith, depression, and single parenting. While I could have used a touch more showing instead of telling, Weather Girl was enjoyable enough to find a permanent spot in my personal library.

❥ Listening to this via audio was a lovely experience. Narrator Sarah Mollo-Christensen has a pleasing and expressive voice to listen to.

Edition

This sweet little edition of Weather Girl comes from Afterlight by Illumicrate. I’ve collected a fair few of their B-format books because the details are so pretty.
