All the Signs by Jessie Rosen might first appear to be about astrology, but it's really about how trying to be something you are not can throw everything out of alignment, and how self-discovery can profoundly change your life.

Physician Leah has taken over her family's medical practice after her father's retirement, and it's wearing on her. When she suddenly experiences violent vertigo that could have endangered the patient she was examining, she has to step back temporarily. Although she is a staunch skeptic, her well-meaning friends urge her to have an astrological reading, and she is thrown by the suggestion that her medical problem may be the result of misalignment with her star and moon signs.

So Leah initiates a research project to prove that her "Star Twins" haven't experienced the same types of major stresses and changes that she has, at the same times specified by the astrologer. In the process, Leah appears on a podcast, attends a most unusual retreat, travels to New Orleans and Turkey, re-engages with a childhood friend, and suffers devastating upheavals with her current and past family members. And her vertigo continues until . . .

I found this to be a surprisingly affecting novel about finding and accepting your true self. It is definitely not a paean to astrology--quite the contrary--but it was interesting to read about the history of astrology and how it has been found useful by all sorts of people. It is an unusual story, beautifully told, which gave me a lot to think about. And I especially appreciated the much-needed epilogue.

My thanks to PENGUI N GROUP Putnam/G.P. Putnam's Sons and NetGalley for the opportunity to read and provide an honest review of this book.

A fun read about a woman going on a soul searching journey after she gets an astrological reading that makes her question what she thought she knew. I thought it was interesting and loved that she was open to a different point of view than her own and decided to discover more about what she didn’t know

This was an alright read for me. Not my favorite. The story line was fine but I didn't care for the secondary characters.

I absolutely loved The Heirloom, so I was really looking forward to reading All the Signs and it was just as wonderful!! Leah is an astrology skeptic but decides after much self doubt that she will use an astrologer’s predictions as a guide after some health problems. Her self journey of growth is so heart felt and hopeful and full of love for one’s self. What a wonderful read!

Like Leah, I’m an astrology skeptic, so the premise of this book grabbed me from the start. Throughout it, I also found more similarities with Leah that made it hard to put this book down as she traveled the world and immersed herself in self discovery.

This book was beautifully written with great characters and a surprising amount of emotional depth. I’m glad I picked it up!

Leah Lockhart is proudly science-minded and woo-woo averse. But the life she’s carefully curated is knocked suddenly off course, first by a destabilizing case of vertigo, and then by an astrology reading that claims she’s living way out of line with what was written in her stars.

This was an alright book. It was not my favorite. It was written ok. The characters were fine.

Thanks to NetGalley and PENGUIN GROUP Putnam | G.P. Putnam's Sons for the opportunity to read All the Signs by Jessie Rosen,, an engaging novel about self-discovery peppered with some great travel, characters to spend time with and to learn from. I loved it.

Jessie Rosen’s *All the Signs* is a fun read about figuring out identity and the tug-of-war between science and fate. It follows Leah Lockhart, a no-nonsense scientist who’s skeptical of everything mystical—until an astrology reading flips her perspective. Determined to disprove astrology, she embarks on a journey to find her "star twins," traveling to cool spots like Venice and New Orleans and uncovering truths about her own life along the way.

Rosen’s writing blends humor, romance, and emotion, creating a story that explores travel, self-discovery, and love without feeling predictable. Leah's relationships with her estranged mom and supportive dad add depth, while her gradual transformation feels genuine. The romance is sweet but doesn’t overshadow the deeper themes.

Overall, *All the Signs* is an engaging, character-driven story that appeals to fans of travel fiction and the tension between logic and fate, reminding us that sometimes the signs we resist are the ones leading us home.

This book is all about self-discovery and I enjoyed it so much. I loved reading about Leah’s personal journey and I was hooked from the start. Such an easy read!

I was invited by the publisher to review this book. Leah is all facts and science, and certainly not in the camp of The Fates, readings, or astrology. She has her life meticulously planned out - but then not only gets a serious case of vertigo, but also received an astrology forecast that claims she is not living the life written in her stars. Leah's goal is to prove that all astrology is bogus, so she sets out to find her star twins and winds up on a tour of various areas across the world. Along her journey she learns of familial ties with more clarity, and even revisits the past that could be her future.

What an honest to goodness story this was! I loved the incorporation of astrology, and how Leah self-fulfilled her astrological reading by going on this journey that wound up being one of self-discovery, but of also setting her future in motion. The story started with Leah as a gray character, and by the end her world was full of colors!

Thank you to NetGalley and Penguin Group Putnam/G.P. Putnam's Sons for this ARC in exchange for an honest review.

I absolutely LOVED this book! The main character is so relatable—I was drawn in from the first page and couldn’t put it down. Her journey of growth, love, and self-discovery felt authentic and heartfelt. Huge thanks to Jessie, NetGalley, and G.P. Putnam’s Sons for the eARC.

This story sparkles with heart, hope, and just the right touch of stardust—I couldn’t get enough! I'm inspired to go figure out my rising signs.

Leah is a doctor in practice with her father at their family's medical clinic serving women and children. They're so constrained with each other that they never hug, only shake hands, addressing each other as "Doctor." Leah is expected to carry on the clinic upon Dad's imminent retirement when she suddenly gets an attack of such debilitating vertigo that she is forced to take time off. What she does with that time is take an unanticipated journey of self-discovery that is so rich and fulsome, it almost inspired me to look up my three star signs. What a fine writer is Rosen. I wish she had more books in the women's fiction genre. I would read every one.

A self discovery journey that comes thanks to a twist from the stars! Thank you beyond words to Jessie, Netgalley and G.P. Putnam for the eARC. This was an ABSOLUTE HONOR!

What To Expect:
⭐ Single POV
⭐ Self Discovery Journey as the main storyline
⭐ STEM Careers
⭐ Astrology + the zodiac signs
⭐ Burnout + illness due to stress
⭐ Second chance romance as the secondary storyline
⭐ Family + love of a community as a background storyline
⭐ And a touch of magic led by the stars
⭐ TW: Issues of parental abandonment, misunderstood illness, discussion of cancer and pre-natal/post natal/maternity care

My Thoughts:
First I absolutely ADORED Jessies debut adult release "The Heirloom" and I will say once again if you didn't read it go get it! Follow up books are always scary for the author but also for the reader. I know this one was written with a lot of heart, love and with a big leap! I think she hit the mark. I love this one as much as I loved her last.

Jessie has a way of writing a scene that is puts you physically and emotionally there. It's really one of the most difficult parts for me as a reader to feel fully in a story. Immersed so far that only the story exists and I need to know the whole journey before I can step away. The bright visuals, the truth in stress illness/maybe even a hint of burnout and the emotions that come with it all felt very real and raw. This could be me personally relating as I have been on a long journey (thanks COVID) of self discover, re-finding myself as my career has changed, but also healing for severe burnout. I could relate to the main character (Leah) as she tries to figure out if she is in the right career, happy with her life, happy with where she is, but also feeling strangely as though the contentment she has is and isn't enough.

I have to say I wasn't expecting a whole twist on astrology that led me to finding out my own signs. I always knew I was born as a cancer. What I didn't know is how much the other portions of your signs also define and describe who we are or where we might fit in the world. I am a skeptic, driven by science, very much like Leah, but I do believe we can find depth to our lives, and guidance in other places. Seeing how Leah went from structured, buttoned up, black and white to living life with more color was a real comparative visual for myself. When she tries on the dresses in Turkey and then New York I actually looked at my own closet of mostly navys and blacks thinking I need more color.

If this book brings you nothing else, I hope it brings some laughter, color and life to your world! It definitely did to mine and I am a bit more open minded about the stars today.

Jessie, thank you for this story! Thank you for sharing it with the world! I absolutely adored it and will treasure these words! I think I need another trip to Italy STAT! <3


Synopsis:
Leah Lockhart is proudly science-minded and woo-woo averse. But the life she’s carefully curated is knocked suddenly off course, first by a destabilizing case of vertigo, and then by an astrology reading that claims she’s living way out of line with what was written in her stars.

Incensed, Leah sets off on a mission to prove that all of astrology is bogus by finding her star twins in the world—people born with her exact same astrology. But her true guides on a whirlwind journey through Venice, Istanbul, New Orleans and beyond turn out to be three people already in her the mother she thinks abandoned her, the father she thinks saved her, and the former boy next door whose love could be the path to her truest self.

a solid 3.5 stars
being on this journey was great - but some of the background characters were a tad insufferable and so annoying

All the Signs is a charming and inspiring story of self-discovery. Following a life-altering event, protagonist Leah embarks on a journey of personal growth, challenging her beliefs and embracing new experiences. While the romance is subtle, the focus on Leah's internal transformation and exploration of her authentic self takes center stage. This is a captivating and thought-provoking read for anyone seeking a fresh perspective on life. I received a copy of this book for review purposes.

I loved this story. I am not someone who is into astrology and I never will be but I loved this book. I loved the personal journey this woman went on, the people that she met, the experiences she had and who she became. I could not put it down!

This was a beautifully done romance novel, it had that elmeent that I was looking for and enjoyed from this type of book. It was everything that I wanted and enjoyed the way the characters worked. Jessie Rosen has a strong writing style and was invested in what was going on. I hope to read more from Jessie Rosen as this was really well done.

Long and Short of it: An inspiring read that makes you look at your life differently.
Romance: Some
Spice Level: 1/10

This story was pretty deep when it comes to looking at your inner self and trying to figure out if you’re living authentically or not. I am a fellow Leo, so I resonated with Leah in this story. I also don’t follow astrology closely, so it was relatable to hear her skepticism about the idea.

I really enjoyed this book!! I’m excited for others to read it as well. Even though there is some romance in the book I wouldn’t put it in the Romance genre. I would definitely categorize it as Women’s Fiction.

I hope when you read this book that you will look inside yourself and ponder the things that Leah is trying to figure out herself. It gives you a great perspective on life. It’s so short. Live it to the fullest.

**I received this ARC from NetGalley. All opinions are my own.**

Leah is a doctor committed to serving her patients. Leah thinks she's content with her life until a sudden onset of vertigo causes her to question everything she knows about herself and her beliefs. What follows is an entertaining story of self-discovery as Leah learns to be a little more spontaneous and open-minded.

It was fun to read about Leah's travels and all of the delicious food she encounters. The romance was sweet though I wish it had a little more focus and chance to develop. Overall, a charming and unusual story.

Thank you to Putnam Books and NetGalley for the opportunity to read a copy.

Quite different from anything else I’ve ever read but not in a bad way. I really enjoyed it and will have to read it again
