At Her Service

Out in Hollywood, Book 2

De: Amy Spalding

Narrado por: Lori Prince

A sweetly sexy, thoroughly modern new novel about single life, social media, career goals, and making the bold move to grab your own happiness—and write your own love story.

Max Van Doren has a wish list, and a great career and a girlfriend are at the top.

But despite being pretty good at her job as an assistant to one of Hollywood’s fastest-rising talent agents, she has no idea how to move up the ladder. And when it comes to her love life, she’s stuck in perpetual lust for an adorably perfect bartender named Sadie. Her goals are clear—and Max has everything but the self-confidence to go for them. Even her mother seems to assume she’ll be crawling home to her childhood bedroom at some point….

When Max’s roommate, Chelsey—an irritatingly gorgeous and self-assured influencer in plus-size and queer spaces—offers to sponsor her for a new self-actualization app, Max gives in. If she can’t run her own life, maybe an algorithm guiding her choices will help? Suddenly Max is scoring big everywhere, and her dreams are achingly close to coming true. But when one of Chelsey’s posts reveals Sadie’s part in the app’s campaign, Max is poised for heartbreak on all fronts.

Tired of the sponcon life with its fake friends and endless selfies, Max realizes that to have true influence, she’ll have to find the courage to make her own, totally authentic way in the world.…

Fresh, feel-good, and endlessly relatable, here is a glorious love story for the digital age and beyond.

“Charming, uplifting…perfect for any reader who has ever dreamed of stepping into their own best life. I want to befriend Amy Spalding’s characters and live in her quirky queer romantic world forever.”—Susie Dumond, author of Queerly Beloved

Lori Prince+the story= perfect match

I always love Lori Prince’s voice and her voice just fits so well with this.

I loved Max as the side character who sent silly memes to Nina in For Her Consideration! It was a good thing to use the plot concept of a self help startup to help a character realize the things about themselves they already had! I love Max in all of her mess! She thrives but when she also has community, she doesn’t only thrives but grows so much! I love chosen family stories a lot and this one feels so special! I received an ARC from my friend Norma when she was at Kensington Books, but I didn’t have the accessible version so I couldn’t read it until the audiobook came out! Very fun read!

At Her Service

Max - adorable, but lacking self-confidence.

Sadie - friendly hot bartender with a bit of self-loathing.

These two were so freakin' cute together. As they spend time together, you start to see how perfect they are for each other. I enjoyed Max's "Self Actualization" journey - she really needed some direction, and it definitely gave her a nudge in the right one! All signs pointed to Sadie, but not without some bumps along the way.
