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.
Thank you to NetGalley and PENGUIN GROUP Putnam/G.P. Putnam's Sons for the eARC in exchange for an honest review.

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.

would like to thank Net Galley and G.P. Putnam for the opportunity to read this as an ARC. I did not like this book. Let me say that first. I did read The Heirloom,by this author, and really did not like it either.As to why I decided to try this one, well, I can't resist a book with a protagonist with my first name. I know few other Lea's in life or in fiction ( most spell with an h, as in this book), but since there are so few I include both spellings. ( OK, Lea Salonga, Lea Thompson and Lea Michelle, but a small subset.) Anyway. the Heirloom was about a girl, who wasn't sure how she felt about her fiancee's choice of a ring and so traveled all through Europe(without him) to track down information. They were many characters, mos of whom we saw at the beginning and the end, but ignored or lost track of in the middle. Ok, so All The Signs is about Leah Lockhart. She is a doctor who is in a partnership with her father to run a woman's clinic. They refer to each other as Doctor, even at home. ( not dad, and Leah, but Doctor.)Her mother the family years ago, and live in California. Leah is unmarried , and nearing 40. Her father retires and she takes over the practice. Then a series of things occur- an old friend ( a crush really), who is now a Physical Therapist comes in to her life. Leah's cousin arranges an astrological reading , which tells Leah that she is not living her true life, and she has an episode of vertigo while with a patient. She is unable to work due to the vertigo, and needs to see a Physical Therapist ( what a coincidence).In the meantime she decides to embark on a project tp prove astrology wrong. She is supposed to be doing exercises to help her vertigo, but is able to dash of to Europe to get more information.( sound familiar?). Once again many of the characters we meet at the beginning disappear until the the last third of the book. I finished the book, but it was not easy. This was just not for me.

A chance meeting with an astrologer who maps out her star chart leads a struggling doctor to begin a search to debunk the astrologer’s reading. The reading throws her for a loop and she is determined to throw his predictions into the trash. On her journey to find her Twin Star, she is thrown by similarities and a door opens that upends everything she believes about herself.
I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of the book. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

This was exactly the escape I needed! This was beautifully written and so sweet and fun.
It felt like I went abroad on a fun adventure!

When I first received the widget from the publisher I wasn't sure if I wanted to accept it. Just like the main character of the book I am a true skeptic when it comes to astrology.
At first I thought this is not a book for me but then I was also promised armchair travel to Venice and Istanbul. When you are stuck at home on a cold New England winter, spending some time in those locations, albeit, fictional, sounds inviting. I wish she spent more time in Istanbul. I wanted more from the Istanbul chapters. Venice chapters were really good. I made me go back there.
The book did not make me a believer of astrology but in Leah's words "Astrology is not something you need to believe in, but it may offer a path to believe in yourself"
This book is about Leah's self discovery. About Leah finding out who she really is and what she really wants in life as those things maybe hidden by who she thinks she needs to be.
Leah is an OBGYN following footsteps of her father and grandfather. When she had her astrological chart read, she learns that she is not living according to her astrological chart. She is supposed to be a boundary-breaking travel-lover with a big, bold life who needs alone time and play and a whole other stuff that is the opposite of who she is. This description sound more like Leah's mother. She initially decides to forget about what her chart says about her but then for medical reasons she has to take a leave of absence from her practice. With all the extra time and pent up energy she decides to go after proving her reading wrong. To prove that her astrological chart isn't HER.
She puts together an experiment, a questionnaire to survey her hundred plus "star twins" around the world who were born at the same time as her to see if there is any statistical connection between what her chart predicted and what they all experienced. This star twin survey takes her to places she's never been, meet and connect with people and the confusing thoughts start clouding her mind. Who is she really? How is she supposed to know for sure? What if she doesn't like the person she found deep inside herself? Would following her astrological chart ruin her entire life?
And there are the people around her: her dad and best friend/cousin think that because Leah is acting very strange all of a sudden. Yes, she had a medical scare and started questioning everything. She went on a big trip for the first time, alone, got a total vacation brain and started making crazy decisions that she would never have made under normal circumstances.
While all these happening and she is on the brink of extreme changes to her life she is also getting closer with her childhood bestie-crush David. Would there be a future for her despite of their circumstances?
At the end, Leah finds out that she doesn't know herself as well as she should have. She makes some major life changing decisions.
If All The Signs sounds a little bit Eat, Pray, Love-ish, it kind of is. Astrology is a big part of this storyline but it is just as much about questioning whether the life you are living is really the thing that you want.
This was an engaging read. I think it would make a nice Summer book for many readers.
3.5 stars rounded up

Leah Lockhart is a successful doctor in her family’s busy medical practice, but her life is upended when she falls ill with a mysterious condition. Seeking answers, she turns to astrology, where a reading suggests that her illness may be linked to cosmic forces. Determined to prove this idea wrong, Leah embarks on a quest to find people with the same astrological alignment—her “star twins”—and compare their lives to her own. This search leads her on a whirlwind adventure across the globe, ultimately guiding her to a profound discovery of her true self, hidden within her heart. As someone who LOVES to travel to new places, I really enjoyed Leah's adventures in stunning locales!
This is a breezy, feel-good piece of fiction that’s more about enjoying the journey than diving into deep self-help or mystical themes. The plot is fast-paced and sprinkled with elements of glamour, from the exotic settings to the conveniently timed events. While the story doesn’t delve into spiritual wisdom or transformative philosophies, it offers a heartwarming message about living authentically and embracing the messiness of life. At its core, it’s a celebration of taking risks, staying true to yourself, and finding harmony in the chaos. Perfect for readers looking for a light, uplifting escape!
Many thanks to NetGalley and Penguin Group Putnam | G.P. Putnam's Sons for the opportunity to read this advanced digital copy in exchange for my honest opinions!

I loved this book so much! I loved how the main focus was on Leah focusing on discovering who she truly was. Even when this led to conflict, she kept pushing forward. While I don't know a ton about astrology, I enjoyed learning about it through this book. This was a heartwarming story from start to finish.

When I saw that Jessie Rosen had a new book coming out, I was so excited! I loved The Heirloom, so I couldn’t wait to read this one. Being a fan of astrology since I was young, I was immediately drawn into this story. I really liked Leah from the jump, which doesn’t happen very often for me. I liked her plucky personality, though I could see it coming off as a tad obnoxious to some. I wasn’t too sure about the storyline and where it was going in the beginning, but it flowed and ended up coming together.
I really enjoyed the parts of the book where Leah visited Italy, Turkey, and NYC. I’m not much of a traveler, especially by plane, so I use books to “travel” to far off places that I’ll probably never visit. Sad but true! The descriptions were enchanting. From the sparkling canals, to the beautiful little shops, colorful homes and epic feasts… I could picture every moment so easily in my mind.
Overall, I really enjoyed this book. I feel as though I’ve been going through an “identity crisis” myself, so I really related to Leah and was also extremely inspired by her evolution and growth throughout the story. I felt the end was a bit rushed and wasn’t quite what I expected, but otherwise, All the Signs was an almost perfect read for me!
Thank you NetGalley & Penguin Group Putnam| G.P. Putnam's Sons for gifting me this gem in exchange for my honest review!

gLeah is a doctor working in the women's health practice that her father and grandfather established. She is good at her work and lives a steady, routine life that she enjoys. Out of nowhere, though, she is forced to stop working due to medical and legal reasons. Left without a path forward, Leah finds herself drawn to the idea of disproving an astrology reading that she received. In this reading, Apparently, Leah's star signs indicate that she should be living a completely different type of life. The medical issues Leah is having might be a result of her actual life being so unlike that ideal life that the stars have revealed to her. But Leah doesn't believe any of that, so she sets herself up to prove it all as trash.
Now, I do not believe in astrology, so the basic plot of this story wasn't that interesting to me. I chose to read the book because I liked Jessie Rosen's book The Heirloom and wanted to give this one a try. I was nervous that I'd be annoyed while reading this story, but I wasn't. While this story is about astrology, it's equally about questioning whether the life you have fallen into is really the thing that you want. It's about learning to listen to your body and yourself even when others want you to behave differently. It's about dealing with your life taking a sudden turn that you didn't see coming. And I could relate to all of those things without relating to astrology specifically. I could even relate to sudden, unexplained vertigo. There was a fair amount of substance there given the somewhat silly pretense.
My favorite thing about reading Jessie Rosen's books is how she writes about travel. I love reading her descriptions of wandering around a new place and feeling a mixture of awe, delight, and confusion. I love how her characters learn about themselves through their travels. I love how she has characters talking about how they make decisions about their lives and finances based on their desires to travel. It isn't seen as an indulgence, but as a priority and a choice that people make in order to grow. My favorite scenes in this book were set in and around Venice. I wished the character had remained on her other adventures for longer, but enjoyed reading about the four additional locations where the character traveled. I am excited to see how Jessie is about to grow as an author as she releases more works and hope that she keeps writing about the joy found by discovering new places around the world.
Thank you to NetGalley for the free advance copy of this book in exchange for my review.

I had previously read the author’s book The Heirloom so I was excited to read her new one thru NetGalley. I was not disappointed. The main character is living the life as a doctor in her family practice as everyone expects her to follow in her father’s footsteps. Changes occur when she has a medical issue and a chance encounter with an astrologer. She travels to new places in the world physically and metaphorically.

A skeptical OB/GYN gets a case of vertigo and sets off on her Saturn return which takes place in Venice. This is a wholly unrealistic tale that I absolutely loved! Without giving any spoilers I appreciated the family relationship aspect too. If you like character development and dreamy vacation locales this is a must read!

⭐️ 3.5/5
First person POV
Thank you Penguin Group and G.P. Putnam's Sons for providing me this ARC of the book for review consideration via NetGalley. All opinions are my own.

This is my second book of Jessie's, and I really enjoyed it! Some may find the "resistant to woo woo but then comes around to it" trope cheesy, but I had fun with it. It made me want to look into my astrology too, and you'll want to travel after reading i'm sure! I also love a childhood friends to lovers trope. This was a quick read that I was always excited to pick up!
4.25/ 5 stars

Leah is on a mission to prove her horoscope wrong. She is a doctor so she is very science minded. When her life is destabilized by a case of vertigo her astrology reading says she is living way out of line with what was written in her stars. With detours through Venice, Istanbul and New Orleans she may just find out that the boy next door is the key. Thanks to @NetGalley for the ARC of this book. I really enjoyed it.
