I think there are times when many us wonder if we are living our true authentic selves and are we who we are supposed to be? I found All the Signs to be a relatable story about finding yourself and working through the challenges of that self discovery. Now I want to know who are my Star Twins!

Thank you to NetGalley and the publishers for an ARC in exchange for my honest review.

Thank you to NetGalley for providing the eARC. All opinions are my own.

The premise of this book immediately caught my attention, and I was happily surprised by how much I ended up enjoying it. Leah, a doctor, has always envisioned herself taking the reins of the medical clinic her grandfather started, which her father recently passed down to her. But when life throws her a curveball, Leah starts questioning everything she thought was certain.

I found it easy to relate to Leah’s scientific mindset, which made her dismiss astrology as something frivolous and ungrounded. Watching her reconsider her beliefs and navigate a journey of self-discovery was a rewarding experience. At several points, I found myself reflecting on my own life in ways I hadn’t expected, adding an unexpected layer of depth to the story.

Overall, this was an engaging and thought-provoking read that left me with a deeper appreciation for the unpredictable twists life can take.

3⭐️ I felt like this book had all the makings of a beautiful self-discovery book but unfortunately it fell a little flat for me! However, with that said I definitely don’t think I’m the target audience for this book!

This book is all about convincing the science minded FMC that some things are written into the stars. Unfortunately, I’m also a woman who works in healthcare and I just want convinced 🙃

I also felt like this book had two story lines that were competing - the romance and the self-discovery. I felt like neither fully developed and got me to a point where I just loved this book!

This was an advanced read copy I received through Netgalley so it’s not going to be officially published until May 6, 2025! But this is my honest review!

Add this book to your to read list, I promise you won’t regret it! & then let me know what you thought!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Synopsis: Leah is your typical type a doctor who is on the path that was laid out for her years ago. She suddenly experienced a bout of vertigo and needs to take a break. When her cousin invites an astrologer to do a reading for her and the rest of the office, Leah is cynical. When the astrologer invites her to disprove using science. Leah embarks on a whirlwind trip to find her true path

What I liked: Leah remind me of me in that she is type a, people pleaser and cynical but opens herself up when something detours her life. She is reunited with her childhood friend but the romance between them isn’t the main story. Leah’s self discovery is the main plot and I really enjoyed that. I also really liked the travel aspect of self-discovery and Leah really learned a lot about herself traveling around the world. The astrology and star twin piece didn’t really resonate with me. I read my horoscope but never pay attention to it. Part of Leah’s discovery is finding out more about her mother who is barely talks to. This felt very real to me and enjoy the rawness and showing all of the history warts and all to make us understand her more. The ending was very good and enjoyed it. This is a new author fir me and I will be reading more from her

📖 Book Review 📖 Do you believe in signs? I held my Mom’s hand as she died and yet she still had my Dad send me a letter with all the signs she would send me from Heaven and she follows through in the most amazing ways. There is so much power in opening your perspective to the energy that exists in the universe around us.

Jessie Rosen is here with her latest emotive read that will truly have you searching for all of the signs. Leah Lockhart has spent her life dedicated to science and medicine but one horrible mishap reveals a new diagnosis, throwing her off balance like never before. Leah turns to astrology, leading her on a journey of self-discovery, healing, and adventure.

Will I remember reading this book months from now? Probably not. It wasn't bad, it just didn't captivate me.

This was a quick read but it packed a good punch. And well since Leah was a Leo and I’m a Leo I was instantly drawn into the story. That is not to say you have to be a Leo to enjoy the journey. Leah has a lot of trauma when not comes to her parents but she’s buried it for so long when it surfaces she’s not sure how to deal. Looking for her star twins sets her on a journey of self discovery that will change her life.

I could so relate to this journey Leah had to take. And yes, she HAD to take it. We all do at some point in our lives. We SHOULD question whether or not we are truly happy in our lives. I've always heard that relationships (all of them whether family, intimate or friends) take work but in the end, if you surround yourself with the right people, those who build you up and support you rather than feel the need to knock you down a peg or two in order for you to capitulate to what they need from you, it shouldn't be hard work. I found myself so completely out n the pages of this a story that I sobbed at parts saying YES!! that's exactly what it felt like.

I really enjoyed this book! I’m excited for others to read it to see how it resonates with them. Even though there is some romance in the book I personally wouldn’t put it in the Romance genre. I would categorize it as Women’s Fiction with a side of romance.

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 it.

I hope that if you read this book, you will look inside yourself and ponder the things that Leah is trying to figure out. This story gives a great perspective on life, which is so short. Live it to the fullest! 🩷

All the Signs by Jessie Rosen follows Dr. Leah Lockhart as she suffers from a case of vertigo which has the potential to enter medical career. While she is healing, she begins a journey of self-discovery through learning about her astrological sign.

Having read Jessie Rosen’s novel The Heirloom, I was expecting something a little different. While both focus on self-discovery, this one was quite different with the astrology focus. While I enjoyed the read, I think I would have liked it more if I was more knowledgeable and interested in astrology. For me, the end seemed rushed- I would have liked more ends tied up. I will still read future works by Jessie Rosen.

I really enjoyed All Signs and the journey Leah goes on to rediscover herself after everything in her life shifts. It was such a thoughtful take on identity, love, and finding your own path. The astrology angle added a fun and meaningful twist that made me reflect on what might be written in the stars for me, too. A sweet, introspective, and heartwarming read!

4.25 I really enjoyed this one. What happens when you’re living a life that doesn’t align with your true needs? There are a lot of interesting questions & family dynamics in this book. Leah Lockhart is a successful doctor who has just taken over running the family practice from her father. Two things happen almost at the same time. Leah receives an astrology reading that says she’s not living a life that’s true to herself. And she develops a serious case of vertigo & can’t practice medicine. This interrupts her & her father’s careful plans & sends her on a journey of self discovery. It was a lot of fun to travel along on her various adventures. And it was challenging to watch her struggle against doing things that were important & meaningful to her because it didn’t fit with her proscribed life plan. My only real complaint is that the ending felt slightly rushed. Thank you to NetGalley & Penguin Putnam for the e-ARC.

Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for the arc and to PRH Audio for the alc.

This was a very interesting and unique romance. I will admit, at times I wasn't sure where this book was headed and I was kind of confused or bored slightly. Overall though, I enjoyed this book and the overall message it presents to the reader. Furthermore, Carlotta Brentan was a really good choice to narrate this book, and I enjoyed how she brought the characters to life. I think would be interested in reading more books by Jessie Rosen in the future!

This book was such a fun read for me! I truly devoured it in just a couple of days As someone who works in healthcare, I found the main character to be extremely relatable. However, I do feel that character development overall would be an area for growth with this story It was so exciting to follow along on Leah's path of self discovery and meet all her star twins along the way. The relationships with her family added in another layer to the story which made it so heartwarming in the end. I definitely recommend this book for a light, quick, heartwarming read!

I’m convinced Jessie Rosen writes her books specifically for me 😂

The Heirloom was one of my top reads last summer, and All the Signs is another example of Jessie’s talent for crafting grounded yet whimsical stories. They’re magical and relatable, and she paints the prettiest pictures of the world, making me want to get out and see more of it.

I found myself relating to Leah so much (could it be our matching Cancer moons? I’ll go out on a limb and say yes 🦀), and I loved following along on her journey to discovering who she is.

Here’s what I loved most:
- Leah’s spontaneous trips (they are what dreams are made of)
- Her Star Twins research made my little astrology-loving heart so happy
- NOVA 😂✨

Here are some things you might love, too:
✨ Themes of identity/soul searching/understanding your purpose
✈️ Traveling!
🩺 Strong FMC & women in STEM
🏡 Family dynamics
♌️ Astrology (and one woman’s journey to discover whether or not the stars can truly define us)

If Jessie Rosen writes it, I will read it 📖 Add All the Signs to your TBR and get your copy on May 6th!

I’m so grateful to have had the opportunity to read All the Signs! Big, big thank you to Putnam, Jessie Rosen, and NetGalley for the advanced reader’s copy! ❤️

What a beautiful book about finding yourself. Leah Lockhart is a doctor in a family of doctors living the life she has always dreamed of. Until one day she meets an astrologer that gives her a reading that she is “out of alignment” and the suddenly her whole life falls apart. What follows is a fascinating journey through multiple countries, and reaching back into the past. I loved the journey she went on, literally and figuratively, to find herself and explore what she really wants in life. There was also a sub romance, second chance romance storyline that I enjoyed. I didn’t know anything about astrology before I read this book, but now I kind of want to look up my information to see what it says about my life. A captivating story that will stay with me for a while. I received an ARC, and this is my honest review.

All the Signs by Jessie Rosen caught my eye even though I’m not an astrology girlie. It's a story about breaking free from the path other people set for you. For the main character, astrology cracks the door open, but it could just as easily be something else.

The one thing I bumped on was the family characters. They felt almost like cartoon villains or robots who only understood duty and prized conformity. Sure, this exists, especially in families with a business or tradition to uphold (in this case, a medical practice), but they did not budge an inch until the last second. My issue was not that it is unrealistic, but that the characters felt flat.

Overall, I really liked it, though, especially the way Rosen describes travel. I've been to Venice, and her descriptions made me feel like I was there again.

While I'm still not into astrology, I was inspired by the book’s message about finding whatever helps you listen to yourself.

Loved this romance, soul searching story inspired by astrology. Jessie Rosen has a way characters that make you sad the story is over. You miss them when the final chapter closes.

* I received an ARC of this book from NetGalley. Thank you NetGalley and the publisher for this book. All thoughts are my own.

I really liked Rosen’s writing in this book and I was able to connect to Leah as a woman in her 20s trying to figure out who she is in the world. I also liked that she was very skeptical about astrology but uses her scientific brain to make a little experiment out of her chart. As a skeptic myself, it felt relatable to read about someone who isn’t obsessed with astrology. Though I wouldn’t really classify this as a romance. It has a romantic element but it’s more about figuring out who Leah is.

I would recommend!

Another incredible book from Jessie Rosen! I loved how Leah was truly able to find herself and reconnect with her family and her old love, even if it meant taking a step back from others temporarily. A lesson for all of us
