Thanks to Putnam books for the ARC and to PRH Audio for the free audio book! I really enjoyed The Heirloom by Jessie Rosen, so I was excited to dive into this one. It was a fast read and definitely an interesting premise involving astrology and following your sign. That being said, it really missed the mark for me in a lot of ways. I felt like the main character traveled all over the place and some points in the plot felt irrelevant to the story as a whole. I also think that it should not be marketed as a romance. There was a little romance, but as a romance lover, it was such a minor part of the plot that I don't think you can categorize it as that.
I think Jessie Rosen has a lovely writing style and though this one wasn't for me, I do think other people might enjoy it. I would definitely still be interested to read other books by her.

Overall even though I read this one in a matter of around 6 hours, something just fell flat for me. Parts of the story felt very rushed and not well thought out in execution and I was left with some questions and not getting any answers. And honestly something just felt off for me with this one. I don't know if it was the focus on astrology(which I don't believe in at all) or the lack of character development and growth.

Leah is an OB who has just taken over her family practice when she gets vertigo and collapses. She needs to take a break from work and decides to prove the astrologist who said she is having problems because she is living out of alignment with her star sign, wrong. Her journey takes her all over the world to find her star twins.
She travels to Italy and Turkey while she comes to terms with her life as it is and the mother she thinks abandoned her. She has to examine the choices she made and the things she has sacrificed to please her father. Are these the things she still wants in her life or is there room for more?

While I was expecting a romance from this book, it was really more of a novel about self-discovery. There was a small romance as a secondary plot point, but the real story is about Leah learning to love herself. Rosen does this in such a fun way that I was so happy to go along with Leah for the journey. It is a perfect book for the beach, but it may make you hungry!

Thank you to NetGalley and Penguin Group Putnam G.P. Putnam's Sons for allowing me to read an ARC of All the Signs by Jessie Rosen in exchange for my honest review.
All the stars and moons!
An adventurous blend of personal growth, self-discovery, and a beautiful trip to Venice! I enjoyed traveling along with Leah as she rediscovered herself, testing her limits, and setting limits for others.
This was the second book of Jessie Rosen's I've read, and I look forward to reading more.

Thank you to Penguin Group Putnam and NetGalley for the opportunity to read this ARC.
What would it take to turn your life upside down—something earth-shattering, or something deceptively small that unsettles the very foundation of your contentment?
Dr. Leah Lockhart seems to have it all figured out. A third-generation OB-GYN, she’s proud to carry on her family’s legacy, running the practice her father built in the New Jersey town where she was raised. Her life is stable, familiar, and fulfilling—or so she believes.
Everything shifts during an ordinary girls’ night, when an astrologer invited by her cousin challenges Leah’s path, suggesting her life isn’t aligned with her astrological chart. Leah, ever the scientist, brushes it off. But when a sudden episode of vertigo during a delivery leads to a malpractice suit and an unexpected medical leave, she’s forced to slow down and confront what she’s been avoiding: the possibility that something in her life isn’t quite right.
As her father steps out of retirement to keep the practice afloat, Leah begins physical therapy—and reconnects with David, her childhood crush, now a compassionate and grounded PT. When David reaches out just as she’s struggling, their reunion feels like more than coincidence.
Drawn to understand the world through a different lens, Leah dives into an astrology project that takes her from New Jersey to California, Italy, and Turkey. Along the way, she finds herself—along with unexpected friendships, healing from long-held family wounds, and a deepening connection with David. Her choices, once deemed “impulsive” by her family, begin to reflect a new kind of wisdom—one rooted in intuition and heart.
All the Signs is a hopeful, heartwarming novel about rediscovering yourself when everything familiar falls away. With Leah’s journey, you’ll be inspired to examine your own sense of purpose—and the unexpected ways the universe might be guiding you

Leah is a doctor and does not believe in astrology and all the “woo woo” stuff. When she gets hit with a sudden and debilitating case of vertigo, plus her cousin gets her a surprise astrology reading, Leah begins to question everything. She sets out to prove it all wrong, ending up on a spontaneous trip to Italy with her “star twin.” Little did Leah know, she was about to embark on a wild journey.
After reading The Heirloom by Jessie Rosen, I wanted to read this book the second I saw it was coming out. I loved Leah and I won’t lie, I am probably a bit more like her when it comes to astrology. Sure, I love to read my horoscope, but I can’t say I truly believe it. I loved following along as she explored Italy, and learned more about what she truly wanted out of life. Her family drove me a little crazy, specifically the way her cousin reacted to everything. I think we have all felt like our families didn’t trust us to make decisions for ourselves at one point or another in life. Overall, I enjoyed every second of this book and it made me want some gelato asap!
Thank you to @putnambooks for my gifted copy of this book!

Thank you to NetGalley, Penguin Group Putnam, and Jessie Rosen for the chance to read this book in exchange for my honest review.
This is my second Jessie Rosen read and I enjoyed it even more than the last. I loved how this story contemplated astrology and other metaphysical beliefs but didn't bring magical realism into it. By keeping that separate it helped me really consider all the possibilities.
Like Rosen's last tale, the travel elements were incredibly well done. The descriptions of the settings, food, and vibes took me there. The effects astrological beliefs had on Venice were especially informative and important to the story.
Also similar to Rosen's last story, the romance piece is more of a subplot. I would describe the main storyline as self discovery, self love and self acceptance.

All the Signs has a fun premise and plenty of witty moments, especially for astrology lovers. The main character's journey is relatable, but some plot points felt a little forced and the pacing dragged in places. Still, it’s an entertaining read if you're in the mood for a light, cosmic-themed romance.

Rating: 4.5 Stars
Everything seemed to be according to plan for Leah when she assumed the helm of the family practice. When a health related episode threatens the future of the practice and her medical career, her cousin arranges for a celestial reading for Leah. Never one to buy into pseudo-science, Leah embarks on a mission to disprove astrology. This journey may not yield the answers Leah was seeking, but it could help her find the answers she needs.
I grew up with an extended family where they would always ask when the person they were talking about was born in order to assign their star sign for better understanding. So, I am not stranger to the world of astrology and am rather fascinated by it all. It's those shards of truth you find in the signs or horoscopes that pull me in a bit, and I loved how it was a lunching point for Leah's personal journey.
Leah had been doing what she believed she was destined to do. She was the third generation of Lockharts to serve the medical needs of the women. But when a health issue and an interesting astrological reading have her reevaluating her past, Leah begins to question her life choices. I loved how she sought answers outside the box. Even if her motivation was to prove it all wrong, Leah approached the task with a fairly open mind.
Part of her journey had traveling to foreign destinations. The time we spent in Italy and Turkey was vivid and amazing. I always adore taking a "trip" via a book, and Rosen did a wonderful job capturing these locals.
Leah also spent time reconnecting with some pivotal people from her past. I especially liked this part of the story. It seemed important for her to confront her mother and get better explanations as to why she disappeared. But the icing on the cake was her reunion with the boy next door who grew up to be quite an incredible man. The banter, the sparks, the history - all the things I love existed between these two, and I was crossing my fingers and toes that they could make it all work.
Overall, I had an amazing time tagging along on Leah's personal journey as she set out to disprove what was written in the stars and ends up finding her true self and her destiny.

I was sent an advanced digital copy of this book for review. This is my own opinion.
Astrology is one of those weird things that people have all kinds of feelings about. Some people get so tuned into it and really lean into their signs while so many people scoff at it.
Leah is a scoffer. She’s a Leo, and when her life is in upheaval, she gets a weird astrology reading that makes her try to meet her star twins to prove the stars wrong. Only she ends up finding herself instead.
Don’t go into this, like I did, expecting a travel to find yourself sort of situation. The Italy trip was maybe a third of the book. I don’t mind that, but I did expect a bit more of the travel aspect than we got, based on the blurb. Although now I really want to go to Venice!
I love the way things reconciled in the end! I’d recommend this for fans of women’s fiction and whether you believe in the stars’ impact on our lives or not, this All the Signs was such an interesting story about finding people in the same place in their lives and learning where you fit in your own.

I absolutely loved this book! Thank you netgalley and penguin group putman and sons for this ARC.
OB/GYN Leah Lockhart is taking over her family’s medical practice that has been established for generations. Early on in her new role, she experiences vertigo and must go on medical leave until she’s recovered. Two unusual things also happen during this time period, her best friend comes back to town for a few weeks. He left during middle school and they were pen pals for a long time, keeping their connection alive until they ultimately lost touch (he also happens to be a very attractive physical therapist). And her cousin has a girls’ night with an astrologer.
Since she has nothing better to do, Leah takes on the astrologer’s beliefs by trying to disprove them (like any good scientist would). The journey ends up being one of self discovery and I enjoyed every 👏 moment 👏 of 👏 it 👏.
The characters in this book are raw and real. The presentation of family responsibilities and expectations relatable. And Leah’s journey is so powerful. I was rooting for her the whole time. I wanted to her find her footing and her joy. And as always I love a friends to lovers romance and make it a second chance romance and I’m hooked (the romance however is more of a background storyline).
And I should mention there’s an amazing trip to Venice included in this book.

Loved the settings, the characters and the journey of self-discovery/realization that Leah goes on in All the Signs. You could tell Rosen loved her characters and telling this story...her attention to detail and care with fleshing out Leah's journey and feelings felt pitch perfect. This book is stronger and better than Heirloom, which was entertaining and good, but this makes me more excited for future works from Rosen.

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for this book.
The book was interesting and I enjoyed the character, Leah and her story, but it wasn't a book I would seek to read or recommend to my friends. I found my mind wandering and had to set it aside several times. I just couldn't get into it
Three stars from me.

I loved @jessierosenwriter first book and this one did not disappoint. A quick read that packs a powerful punch full of life lessons in finding and loving yourself. I loved Leah from the beginning but even more once she started trusting her gut and doing what she wanted for once. I’m going to be looking at my horoscope a bit more often after this one lol.

Thanks to NetGalley for the eARC. All opinions are my own.
I was intrigued by the description of this book and ended up being pleasantly surprised with how much I enjoyed the story. Leah is a doctor and has always known she would run the medical clinic her grandfather started and that her father recently handed over to her. But when life hits a roadblock she starts to reconsider everything that she's ever thought she knew. I can relate with Leah being science and fact driven and pushing astrology to the wayside. It just seems a little too "woo-woo" for me.
I enjoyed following Leah's journey and watching her reconsider all the things she's "known" in life. Several times in the book I found myself pausing and thinking about my own life which I did not expect going into this book. Overall this was a great story and I really enjoyed it.

I really wanted to love All the Signs, I was a big fan of The Heirloom when I read that so I had high hopes for this one. Unfortunately while I did enjoy the book and was entertained it fell a little flat for me. There just seemed to be a little too much going on and too much crammed in, felt like the author had a lot of ideas and wanted to use them all. Some characters felt like they really weren't necessary and the astrology survey and research seemed to kind of go away. I would still recommend this book, I do enjoy the authors writing style and will read more from her, Rating this 3/3.5 stars. I want to thank NetGalley and PENGUIN GROUP Putnam for the arc in exchange for an honest review.

Leah Lockhart, a meticulous, dedicated OB-GYN, finds her well-thought-out life turned upside down when she *actually* turned a bit upside down during a delivery and passed out from a bout of vertigo. That, combined with a surprising and unsettling astrology reading from Nova at a party, set Leah off on a mission to cure her vertigo (with the help of her childhood crush, David) and debunk astrology. On that mission, she discovers more about herself than she ever thought possible.
Look, I really enjoyed reading this book. It's light; you can tell it's researched, and for someone who (generally) side-eyes astrology, the author did a great job keeping the topic lighthearted and straightforward. But in general, I got lost in the sauce because I felt there was TOO much going on, resulting in a conclusion that felt like ends were loose, i's were not dotted, and ultimately, storylines were rushed.
(SPOILERS) For example: Did the vertigo just disappear when Leah started to follow her heart and not the path destined for her by generations before her? Was the vertigo necessary at all? Leah was so busy with so many other things that she only did two actual PT sessions with David to cure her vertigo. Somehow, in a book that didn't feel very long, we have vertigo, an eat-pray love-style trip to Italy AND Istanbul, falling in love with David, repairing a broken bond with her mother, a near malpractice lawsuit that ends up getting dropped...the list goes on.
It's not egregious, and the good thing is that I liked the multiple storylines - it's just that I didn't think everything ended up meshing together in a way where the storylines flowed, the characters developed, etc. I'm giving this one 3.5 stars.

Poster child for type A personality, Leah, finds herself in the unknown and unplanned after a vertigo spell. Jessie Rosen takes us on a journey as this science minded, OBGYN, MC battles against astrology and finding her own true self.
I absolutely love this unique premise. I went down the rabbit hole myself with the rising and moon signs. I felt seen with Leah. She was doing what was expected of her staying in the box and following in her dad’s footsteps. I loved watching her journey and growth from clothes to travel to going on a whim. I wanted to jump on a plane to Italy and that is saying a lot.
Thank you Putnam Books for my physical ARC and ebook on NetGalley!

Jessie Rosen hits it out of the park yet again! I connected with this book so much because I do feel we are all looking not only for signs but for our purpose in life and connecting with what we're meant to do. Rosen takes us on a trip around the world which I thoroughly enjoyed and on a quest to discover if astrology has the answers to what Leah is meant to do with her life and if it played a role in how she's ended up as a doctor like her father, running the family practice. A story of finding yourself, finding love, the complex dynamics of family relationships and more. Loved this novel!

This is one of the most fascinating books about a character’s journey to find herself that I’ve ever read. Leah is a successful doctor, seemingly on the path that’s meant for her until two things happen: a sudden illness, and a reading from an astrologer. Those two events make her question much about her life, past, present and future, and she sets off on a journey to find the answers she needs. Leah is an intriguing character, her internal conflict and the people and places she encounters at war with everything she thought she believed and wanted. I was riveted by her story, never knowing which way she’d turn when faced with hard choices she had to make. I received an advance reader copy of this book from the publisher.
