I read this for consideration of our staff picks of the month voting title. It was my first book by this author and while I did enjoy it, it fell flat for me and I was hoping for more chemistry between the two leads.

I enjoyed reading Weather Girl. This a little bit grumpy meets sunshine describes how a meteorologist and sports reporter devise a plan to mend their bosses' love lives to help improve the atmosphere at their office. All of the scheming leads to a double date and growing feelings. I appreciated the setting of this romance about a meteorologist in a city where inhabitants are prepared for it to rain the majority of the time.

Weather Girl by Rachel Lynn Solomon is a delightful and uplifting read that is perfect for fans of romantic comedies and contemporary romance, particularly those who appreciate stories that tackle mental health, depression, and the complexities of relationships with a lighthearted and hopeful tone.

I read the first 20%. If it continues as is, easy three to four stars for the average romance reader. Seems a solid “hook up the bosses, hook us up too” plot. The main female lead seems sweet.

Thanks to NetGalley and Berkley for the ARC.

Ari and Russell are sure to brighten your day with their scheming and sweetness. I loved the news/weather station setting and the Set It Up vibes.

More than anything I appreciated the look at clinical depression and complicated relationships with parents - having them and being them.

I just need Rachel to write about a million more romances and I’ll finally be satisfied.

I absolutely loved this book. Jewish rep in contemporary romance is so critical in todays society. I would recommend this book to anyone.

Weather Gil by Rachel Lynn Solomon is a fun and flirty story about a meteorologist at a local news station in Seattle, Washington, that I enjoyed from cover to cover. This book made me smile, and made me want to be a meteorologist!

I LOVED Weather Girl so much. Rachel Lynn Solomon is such a talent. I adored the setting, the romance, the characters, all of it. The meddling that leads to a budding romance? Chef's kiss.

Weather Girl is a feel good rom com. While it is slow in part overall it’s a sweet, open door romance with emotional bonding.

Ari is a weather reporter whose boss is more focused on her ex-husband than work and Ari just wants to tell the weather. Russell is our MMC, a sport reporter on the same station. His boss also happens to be the ex-husband. The two decide to team up to reunite their bosses and smooth out their own work lives. As they work together, Ari and Russell seem to be throwing off more chemistry than their bosses.

Full of laughs, mental health & Jewish representation, Weather Girl is a great read!

This was a cute romance focusing on two coworkers trying to get their bosses back together, but then developing a relationship with each other along the way. Just as a forewarning, even though this book is marketed as a romcom, there are some themes such as depression and parental neglect touched upon in the story.

Rachel Lynn Solomon has quickly become one of my fav romance authors! I just adore her writing style! She handles depression so beautifully and I loved that she created characters who go to therapy and isn't ashamed of it! I related to many parts of this - weird family dynamics, parental trauma and blended families so I particularly liked how "real" this book felt.

"Weather Girl" is a fun and heartwarming novel that brings sunshine to your reading list. Rachel Lynn Solomon's storytelling talent shines through, making it a must-read for anyone looking for a dose of humor and romance in their literary forecast. The banter and camaraderie between the characters are like sunshine on a rainy day, leaving you with a warm, fuzzy feeling. Solomon effortlessly weaves in themes of love, ambition, and personal growth, creating a well-rounded and engaging story.

I have to admit this book just wasn't for me. The story was a letdown, and it was hard for me to get into. I also couldn't connect with the characters at all.

**DNF 30%

I've started this book with lots of anticipation, because I was really interested in the kind of main character it presented. I'm always curious when it comes to mental health representation, because usually I learn a lot if the author is able to depict it well, and Solomon did it. I was also surprised by the fact we have a plus size male character, an original choice for sure that for me was another positive point.
The fact is, I didn't connect with the author's style. Even in entertaining moments or scenes, it seemed an heavy reading and I wasn't enjoying it. Maybe it wasn't the right time for me, I'll try in a little while again to see if something changes.
A real pity.

I love anything Rachel Lynn Solomon! This was another solid read that I really enjoyed and can't wait to read the next one by her!

While this wasn’t my most favourite Rachel Lynn Solomon title, I loved this book. Workplace romances are one of my favourite tropes and I think this one was excellent. The depression/mental health rep in this book is phenomenal. And a single dad who is plus sized? Melted my heart. I think there were a few moments that I’m not sure if I really understood their importance in the story, but overall, this book is wonderful.

3.5/5 stars

i thought this was a fun and sweet romance between two characters that i really enjoyed reading about! i loved that ari was independent and strong while also battling some demons. i loved that russell was a kind and caring father and also a kind a caring lover. i liked that these two characters talked about problems instead of completely shutting down.

there's something about this that's holding me back from giving it more than 3.5 stars and i think that it's that the book is not going to be super memorable for me. it served the purpose i wanted in the moment: a fun romcom that i could enjoy. but these characters and this story won't stick with me long-term.

that being said, i'd still recommend this. it's cute and sexy and has all the things you love in a good romance.

Thank you to netgalley and the publisher for giving me access to this advanced copy of the book to read.

I LOVED this book - it has honest mental health representation and great Jewish representation too. I loved how the characters slowly opened up to one another and actively tied to make each other feel good. Bonus points for all the delicious steam! RLS is such a treasure and I can't wait for her next book!

Thanks Netgalley for allowing me to read this book! The title and this beautiful cover drew me in and i was excited to read this book! I will be recommending this book to others for readers advisory.
