Thank you Netgalley for this e-arc!

Astrology lovers and rom com lovers, rejoice! I am one of the two, group A, however, I found myself enjoying this story enough to carry on. This will be perfect for those who love a cozy story too.

This was a cute LGBTQIAP+ | Romance but I'm going to go ahead and piggyback on what another reviewer wrote and say that the love interest was very unlikeable from the get go and never really redeemed herself in my opinion. I really liked our FMC Gray and I really liked her friend Cherry. The found family that Gray had with Cherry and her family was spot on. Love that for them. I do wish FMC would have ended up with one of her other zodiac dates as I definitely felt more chemistry and attraction there as opposed to the person she ended up with. That being said, this is a fun, rom-com and I still recommend giving it a read. :)

Thank you NetGalley, Random House Publishing Group - Random House, Dial Press Trade Paperback and Susie Dumond for the ARC in exchange for an honest review.

I think this book has a really fun premise, but the execution fell flat for me. I found the love interest to be too unlikable to start the book, and I also didn't like how clear it was which zodiac signs the author personally doesn't like. I think this would have been a better book if none of the signs were presented as disaster people - they could have been bad fits without being portrayed as just like "everyone with this sign is the worst" (namely Cancer, Scorpio, and Virgo).

Gray Young is going to find her true love before her 30th birthday, one way or another. Her current method? Going on a date with every zodiac sign and sleep with at least one from each element, per recommendation of her believer best friend Cherry.

Each date in Looking For A Sign felt fun and unique, some even had me laughing out loud while others had me smiling and crossing my fingers, hoping they were the one for Gray. Even though we witness 12 dates, it never gets boring. You can guess who the love interest might be sometime after you get a quarter of the way through, so be prepared to stay guessing in the beginning. This book does get explicit at some points with sex scenes, but it doesn’t venture into full on smut territory, which I liked. The characters felt real and personable, even down to small details like Gray’s longing for a family unit or her godson River’s adorable one-year-old dialogue.

The only downside of this story would be the predictability of it. Once we meet the true love interest, that’s it, but the book still unfolds in a way that feels satisfying. If you want a fun, slightly spicy read, this is the book for you!
