At Her Service

January 15, 2024
Spalding follows For Her Consideration with another hot and sunny lesbian romance set in Los Angeles. Max is the assistant to a top talent agent, but she’s struggling to prove to her boss that she’s worthy of a promotion to junior agent. She also can’t figure out what to do with the truly embarrassing crush she’s developed on Sadie, the bartender at her local, who’s gorgeous, friendly, funny, and, in Max’s mind, totally out of Max’s league. Enter Max’s roommate, Chelsey, a plus-size queer influencer with a huge following. Chelsey’s been offered a deal with a self-actualization app, and just needs a willing subject who’s ready to try to level up to the best possible version of themself. Max is initially reluctant, but with the help of the app, she’s soon making moves she never would have dared. Success—and Sadie—seem within reach, but is the new Max the real thing or will her newfound confidence fall apart once Chelsey’s cameras are off and she has to be herself? Spalding’s wonderfully messy characters are easy to cheer on, and the romance is sexy and satisfying. Fun and flirty but still grounded in reality, this is sure to delight. Agent: Kate Testerman, KT Literary.
