Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher for my digital copy in exchange for an honest review. I would have requested this because I love memoirs and I also am infatuated with Paris...a city I have never even been to. What I didn't know at the time was that there was also a lot of astrology and signs involved, which I love...and the story itself was just cool. I was constantly looking her up on Instagram and seeing what the friends and the sister looked like (my only complaint would be the lack of pictures in the book itself) and everything else in general. Then when I went to Instagram, I also noticed the cool houses in CA she was posting...so I kept her and will continue to follow. I would recommend this to anyone that likes memoirs.

I received an advance copy of All Signs Point to Paris by Natasha Sizlo through NetGalley and rated it 3.5 stars. The memoir is well-written, though at times it feels a bit drawn out—I think it could have been about 100 pages shorter. I especially enjoyed the Emily in Paris scenes and loved reading about Natasha meeting the show's actors. The relationships she builds with family and friends add warmth and depth, but there’s an intangible element missing that kept it from fully resonating with me.

"All Signs Point to Paris" by Natasha Sizlo is a captivating memoir that intertwines the mystique of astrology with the universal quest for love and self-discovery. As Sizlo, reeling from personal heartbreak and loss, embarks on a whimsical journey to Paris guided by an astrological reading, readers are treated to a heartfelt narrative filled with humor, hope, and the enchanting possibility of destiny. This inspiring tale is a reminder of the magic that can unfold when we open ourselves to the universe's surprises.

My thoughts: I have mixed feelings on this book. While I don't like to critique other people's real life, this was only ok for me. I did like the story and I could relate to the author in her quest to find her soulmate, it did leave me with wanting a little more. Although I did love the end, my romantic side perhaps wanted a different ending? But that's just a me problem, overall I enjoyed reading this book that brought me back to a city that I hold dear in my heart.

A fun sweet read! Highly recommend.

Many thanks to the author, publisher, and NetGalley for my ARC.

Fun and whimsical with a touch of magic, Natasha's story tells us all what adventures await when you take a leap of faith.

Starting with heartbreak and emotional bankruptcy because of a series of events, Natasha navigates her chaotic world with heart, determination, and really good friends.

Being a woman who also navigated her own chaos decades ago, I could relate to "packing my bags and doing the hardest thing I'd ever done." because it was the only thing that would keep me from complete disaster.

I love stories about women who rescue themselves on multiple levels and when reading this, it was like Natasha and I were sitting in a cafe in the shadow of the Eiffel Tour as she told me her story.

⭐️⭐️⭐️ (3 Stars)

I found this one to be somewhat interesting. It kept my attention throughout the story, but it missed the grip that I wanted to feel towards the main character and her chase for love.

I think because it was a bit far fetched, I couldn’t relate or imagine going to the lengths that she did to find her true love based on astrology, a birthdate and her father’s few words…


I listened to the audiobook via Libby and my library, but I was also given an eARC via NetGalley quite awhile ago. My apologies to the author and publisher for my tardy review, however, as promised it is unbiased and I am grateful for the opportunity to review as many books as I am given access to.

I most often read contemporary novels or mysteries, so this memoir was a departure for me. I thought a search for a soulmate in Paris would be a fun romantic adventure, but I did not enjoy the book. Natasha Sizlo was divorced, about to turn 44, had just broken up with her boyfriend., and her father had recently died. Her astrologer told her that her soulmate was born on November 2, 1968 in Paris. She decided to take her sister and two friends to Paris to search for him. The only part of the book I appreciated was the moving account of her father’s illness and the deep grief she suffered after his death. The rest of the book was the silly account of the immature actions of a self-centered woman who made bad choices and disregarded the feelings of those around her.

Thank you to NetGalley for a copy of Natasha Sizlo’s memoir, All Signs Point to Paris.

Natasha Sizlo wants to find love. The forty-something divorced mother has recently disengaged from a steamy, yet tortured, off-again/on-again romance with a man who was not ready to commit, leaving Sizlo heart-broken. Two events align to send her to Paris. The first is the death of her beloved father, whom on his death bed, told his two daughters that his spirit would meet them in Paris. The second, is a psychic, who tells Sizlo that her soul mate is a man who was born in Paris on November 2, 1968.

Sizlo decides to take a chance both on love and on a psychic’s correct prediction, by not only planning a trip to Paris, but also putting herself on social media and dating sites, seeking men with those specific attributes. In Paris, with the help of her sister and a few friends, she dates several men and makes connections throughout the city. Sizlo discovers that although she may have trouble finding a romantic partner, her life does not lack for love and that it takes a community of people to fulfill ones needs.

I loved All Signs Point to Paris. At first, I was skeptical. I don’t believe in psychics, but the Sizlo does not force that belief on her readers. In fact, I think she is taking it with a grain of salt too. She is serious about the endeavor, but more with a “what do I have to lose, let’s take a chance,” type of attitude. The memoir is about the discoveries she makes regarding her relationship with her sister and friends and learning to love her life that already exists. At the end of the book, she has a lovely and very adult conversation with her former boyfriend, that I think everyone wishes they could have when finding closure with a relationship. A conversation to tie-up loose ends, but also honor that there was once love and something good, even if it is time to more forward.

The book is filled with all things Paris: the foods, the sights, the smells…a sensory delight. I’ve never been to Paris, but I felt like I was on the trip with Sizlo. I loved how so many locals took up her cause and engaged with her, especially an evening when women who were following her on social media met for drinks. Sizlo shares her experience in such a warm and open way, that she connects with strangers at every turn.

The flip side to this is in her efforts to connect with the French, she disengages with her sister and friends. Towards the end of the trip, Sizlo’s sister, who has been supportive, expresses her sadness at missing out on bonding time. As you might expect from a good story arc, even in non-fiction, Sizlo has a wake-up call and turns her attention to her sibling.

Sizlo is fabulous and I loved following her search for love in Paris. She has a fantastic Instagram page with pictures from the trip. I still don’t believe in psychics, but I do believe in following your heart and taking chances for love.

One final note, there is some fun bits for fans of Emily in Paris!

An absolute page turner of a good book! I loved the astrological magic, the dark humor, and most of all her search for a second chance at love. I felt myself rooting for her and wishing to be best friends and help her along the way to find her true love!

This was an interesting and thoughtful memoir about grief, fate, and what it means to search for your destiny. I hope the author finds their happy ending.

This is an awesome book! I can't wait to talk about it with my friends! It kept me involved throughout the whole story, and I never felt any kind of lull. Highly recommend!

After some major life challenges Natasha is given a gift of a session with an astrologer and this begins the challenge of finding the love of her life in Paris.
While she seems to live on the outskirts of celebrity her life seems very different from “typical” experiences but the memoir is touching as well as funny.

After the initial pages, I found myself not connecting with the story or characters, so I decided to pass on this book. Did not finish

This one was hard to put down! It had everything I love, family, loss, coping, overcoming, 'what the he**,' and PARIS! A good hearted read. Amazing story and well written!

All signs pointed to Paris for Natasha when her quest to find her soulmate, based on her astrological chart, and the loss of her Dad sends her on a once in a life trip. This memoir read more like a novel to me and touches on love, loss, and family.
Natasha supported by astrological readings, friends, and family takes us along on her personal quest to follow up on a reading to find “The One”. She ends up in Paris searching for love. It becomes the focal of the story (almost too much). She is hyper focused on finding “The One” and goes at warp speed with a social media campaign, posters, and an advertising blitz looking for her man, born Nov.2, 1968.
I thought Natasha was crazy and a bit selfish in her zeal to find her other half. I don’t believe in the stars or astrology, but always enjoy a book set in Paris. I was disappointed there wasn’t a further update to the ending of the novel.

This book is very special to me. I read it while in Paris. I was staying in the same Arrondissements, sandwiched between epic shopping and the Louvre. While I personally am not one to follow astrology or zany adventures, I loved Natasha's commitment to finding love, whatever the cost. What was most touching (and relatable, unfortunately) was her relationship with her dying father. She shares a beautiful story there, one I'd love to read more about.

While I love reading about Paris travels and searching for love, I had a hard time staying connected to this book!

The pros: Natasha seems lovable as ever and I really thought her voice in her book was so unique and lovely. I DIE for astrology and horoscopes, so reading about someone becoming obsessed with it as well made me reeeeeally happy.

The cons: I feel like since our author was so consumed with trying to find love in Paris, that she actually missed out on so much of Paris!! (coming from someone who still hasn't been to Paris). This consumption of needing to find someone based off her astrologer saying that her soulmate was an incredibly specific person....well it made it somewhat hard to read sometimes.

Overall, I think this book was one that just wasn't very much for me, but may be exactly what someone else needs!

Thank you to NetGalley and Mariner Books for this eARC!

Sizlo writes a sizzling memoir of destiny, love and hope. When she’s given a reading with an astrologer for her birthday, she learns that her soulmate was born in Paris on November 2, 1968. Rather down and out Natasha is divorced, has just lost her father, her company has gone bankrupt and even her dog has died, she’s willing to go to Paris to find love. Her dad told her on his death bed to always believe in magic and that he’d meet her in Paris. Natasha’s quest soon becomes bigger than life with radio stations, colleagues, friends and family encouraging her on her quest. Her search turned up several choices and with her sister and two dear friends on board, they set out for Paris. When things don’t go quite as planned, Natasha loses sight of what’s really important, before truly finding herself in the process.
Thank you to HarperCollins and NetGalley for an ARC of this book.

This book was a roller coaster of emotions. Beautiful, touching, despair, frustration, annoyance, and yet it all wrapped up in an honest, inspiring way. Such a satisfying read.

While this was an entertaining read and I was utterly glued to it at the end, this book feels incomplete to me. I imagine it was left the way it was to leave an easy pick up for a follow-up book, but really this one should have just come out a few years later. To say more would be a spoiler and I know not everyone loves those.

Natasha seems very self absorbed on her trip to Paris with her sister and two of her best friends. The cast of characters mentioned throughout the book number so many that it’s difficult to keep track of them all. But it is an easy Paris read, good for the beach or if you're really into astrology.
