A TV meteorologist and a sports reporter scheme to reunite their divorced bosses with unforecasted results in this electrifying romance from the author of The Ex Talk.
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?
APPLE BOOKS REVIEW
In the past few years, the romance genre has grown in its representation of different body types, but it’s still rare to read about a plus-size man. That’s why the hero of Rachel Solomon’s workplace rom-com—TV sports reporter Russell Barringer, who’s struggling with his body image—stands out from the crowd. Russell teams up with meteorologist Ari Abrams in an effort to get their angry, divorced bosses to reconcile and stop making the work environment so toxic, but things get complicated when the two discover they have feelings for each other. Weather Girl sparkles with quirky humor.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Solomon's wildly appealing sophomore rom-com (after The Ex Talk) takes readers behind the scenes of a drama-filled TV news station. KSEA 6 morning weather reporter Ari Abrams loves her job and has always looked up to Torrance Hale, the reigning queen of all things meteorological at KSEA 6. But recently, the nonstop hostility between Torrance and her ex-husband, the station's news director, has made the workplace stressful. It's particularly hard for Ari, who masks her clinical depression with relentless cheeriness at work—until one evening when she finally opens up and vents to the cute, chubby sports anchor, Russell Barringer. When Russell suggests he and Ari get their bosses back together to improve their dispositions, she thinks it's worth a try and is glad to have made a friend who listens to her. Solomon handles Ari's mental health and Russell's body image issues with skill and sensitivity. Fans of Christina Lauren and Julie James will enjoy watching the duo's matchmaking schemes as chemistry begins to sizzle between them—and, inevitably, the plotters are hoisted by their own petard. Solomon writes real characters with real problems without ever sacrificing fun.
