This had potential, but there was just so much stuff happening that felt annoying that the end wasn't satisfactory. The characters were alright, but Lucy just had too much happening. I got that she had this inner turmoil, but there were so many things that went i to it that I was never sure what the heck was her real problem. I felt like if the focus was all over the place and about half way through the book I was ready to add this one to the DNF pile, but for some reason I had hope that it was all going to turn around. I finished and really if I hadn't it would have been fine.

Thank you NetGalley for the arc.

There is something special about having the same name as the lead character in any book, and I can't explain why I love it so much. I'm undecided if I should relate to Lucy Fisher, and I'm struggling to decide.

Lucy's life is in constant disarray, and her choices are less than ideal. Even though I don't agree with the way she behaved in certain cases, I could relate to her struggles and comprehend how she ended up in such difficult scenarios.

The title of this book was the only reason I picked this up, and I am so happy that I did! It surprised me at how quickly I read this book, and it kept me emotionally engaged and looking forward to what the conclusion would be. The writing was so captivating and absorbing that I had no difficulty in getting immersed in Lucy's life.

If you are looking for a good book to read on the beach or for your book club, this is an excellent option as there is plenty to discuss and it could lead to some lighter conversations or even some more meaningful ones.
This story's dominant theme is marital affairs and moral laxity, which could evoke emotions of discomfort in some readers.

This book is an enjoyable and cheerful read, which is made even better by the likeable characters, as well as a storyline that flows so effortlessly. A treat for any fans of second chance romances. This is a recommended read for fans of this genre, and I will look out for future work written by this author.

2.5 stars

I didn't like this book very much. The writing was fine, and I suppose all's well that ends well, but it wasn't very fun getting there.

I was kind of irritated by how steadfastly Lucy clung to her need to "do the right thing". It also seemed like she was being an exceptional friend to someone who wasn't a good friend back, though that is ultimately resolved. I just didn't like how Lucy never seemed to do what SHE needed, and wasn't really honest with herself about how she felt.

I think it could have been an interesting story, I just didn't like how it was handled. Probably wouldn't recommend it, and definitely wouldn't read it again.

Lucy Fister and failed relationships are synonymous. So on the advice of her psychic, she started dating men who differed from the ones she’s usually drawn to. This decision led to her meeting Tyler. Reeling from the loss of her father, Tyler came into her life at a point where she craved companionship. She saw this as a sign of him being her soul mate. However, after one year of marriage, she begins second guessing the sign. The opportunity to put back the fire in their relationship came when her best friend, Vanessa, invited her and Tyler for a one week vacation on her fiancée’s yacht.

However, at the last minute Tyler claimed he couldn’t make it and insisted she go her own. Then the day before they were to set sail, Vanessa had to deal with a client, thus leaving Martin and Lucy to take the trip on their own. Soon, Lucy and Martin develop feelings for each other. Lucy struggles with her feelings and fears the consequences if she allows herself to give into her attraction. 

All Signs Lead to Lucy is a multifaceted story featuring complex characters, some of whom the reader felt compelled to give a swift kick to the butt. As one can guess from the synopsis, infidelity plays a major role in this story, but don’t let that deter from picking up this book. It’s not completely black and white. The further one goes into the story, one recognizes how screwed up life can be sometimes and all is not as it seems. Facts both Julie and Martin will be forced to face.

Julie is that person who puts everyone needs above hers and this trait resonated throughout the story. For someone who believes in signs, Julie failed to see the huge neon ones regarding her relationship with her husband, Tyler. I am not sure if it was a case of her seeing them and choosing to ignore it or she was completely blind to them.

The takeaway from All Signs Lead to Lucy is never trust the advice of a psychic. Instead, follow your instincts.

Thank you NetGalley and Julieann Dove for the ARC of All Signs Lead To Lucy. This is my personal review.
First let me say Lucy is not someone I would ever be friends with in real life. I did not like her as a person in any way. She is a mess, and her life is a mess and things she did in the story made no sense to me.
I read the book, but it is one that will not stick in my mind as one I will ever read again

Lucy Fister decided that she would follow the advice of a psychic, and date mean who were so different to those from her past. When she meets Tyler Tolliver, he fits the bill. When he proposes, Lucy believes that this might be her chance. Yet one year of being marriage, finds her wondering what is happening. So after she agrees to go take a week long vacation with her friend, Vanessa and her fiancé, Martin VanLeer, what happens, is life changing. When Tyler and Vanessa are unable to go, leaving Lucy and Martin together, they find themselves falling in love. Soon Lucy is uncertain where her life is taking her, and wondering what the consequences will be, if she follows through with her attraction to Martin.
A confronting story with lives torn apart by infidelity, yet with any story, there are always two sides. Lucy is determined to please Tyler, yet her dreams for a future suffer. She lets Vanessa have power over her, yet does so to keep a friendship. Yet when she decides to follow her own desires, she must hurt those around her. This book reflects how life is never simple - an interesting read.
I received a complimentary copy of this book from NetGalley. Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own.

Lucy is a mess. Her life is a series of losses culminating in a quickie wedding. To an immature man she knew for 6 months. But it was easy. So she did it. And now she regrets it. After she meets Martin. Her best friend's fiancé. Who she falls in love with. But he's a wimp. Can't leave the fiancé without securing Lucy first. So lame.

In case you were wondering why that paragraph was annoying to read, it's because it has FRAGMENTED SENTENCES! This entire book is just fragmented sentences. I thought I was having a stroke. I went to sleep because I thought maybe I was tired and that's why none of the words made sense. I've never been so confused and annoyed while reading a book.

The plot was okay. Never once did the original psychic portion of the blurb make it into the story. Lucy is a boring people-pleaser with an acute sense of self-preservation while also having absolutely none at all.

The absolute obliteration of sentence structure completely ruined this for me. I don't know who edits these books, proofs them or even beta reads but they should all be fired. It's a disservice to allow someone to publish something written this way. This is essentially a stream of consciousness advertised as a novel. Lucy's inner monologue is almost the entire book. Apparently, Lucy also THINKS in fragmented sentences. The other characters speak that way as well. I had to start reading the sentences as they should have been written just to make some of them make sense and have any sort of flow.

This book had so much potential and now I'm just disappointed but glad it’s over.

A very interesting read.
Found it difficult to relate to the characters but I did enjoy the story. But some parts felt a little slow.

This was an odd book. The plot was compelling but the pacing was off and the characters weren't really likeable. I finished it quickly but the ending was awful.

This book is a testament to when you constantly seek to please other people and put their needs above your own, you yourself never are pleased nor get what you want. Lucy put Tyler's dreams about being a successful actor above her desire to write again and therefore overlooked behavior that should never have been tolerated. No man should sleep at friends houses over sleeping with his wife. She let Vanessa walk all over her at the risk of the man she loves and came back into her life. Her and Marvin were destined to be together and everyone could see it. This evolved into a beautiful live story set against a wonderful island background. All signs led to Lucy and the greatness of love.

I stopped reading since I do not enjoy reading about couples cheating. It was an okay read up to that point.
