Iβve been getting into anthologies lately so when I received an ARC of this one I was super excited.
I love astrology so I loved that each zodiac had their own story.
Some of the stories were really great but others were just okay.
My favorite was definitely Libra, I loved that astrology was actually part of the story.
Overall it was cute and I recommend it if youβre looking for a quick read.

This book was so interesting, I've defiantly never read anything like this before!
Rating: 3.75/5
Synopsis:
A haunted Aquarius finds love behind the veil. An ambitious Aries will do anything to stay in the spotlight. A foodie Taurus discovers the best eats in town (with a side of romance). A witchy Cancer stumbles into a curious meet-cute.
Whether itβs romantic, platonic, familial, or something else you canβt quite define, love is the thing that connects us. All Signs Point to Yes will take you on a journey from your own backyard to the world beyond the living as it settles us among the stars for thirteen stories of love and life.
These stories will touch your heart, speak to your soul, and have you reaching for your horoscope forevermore.
Thank you NetGalley for giving me an ARC!

First of all, the amount of diversity in this book really warms my heart and makes me so happy. The LBGTQ+ rep, POC rep, etc. Loved it all.
Second, I love Luis (platonically π).

Second, I love Luis (platonically π).
Favorite Quote:
"I guess I need a love spell."
"No such thing."
She looked up, anger pulling at her eyebrows. "There must something close, though, right? Like something to make someone fall in infatuation or fixation or--"
[REDACTED] waved a hand at her. "Even if there was, I wouldn't give it to you. Sounds like you're more interested in mind control than love."
And that was the thing that people didn't understand. Love was about finding someone you cared about enough to want them to live freely, happily, not someone you wanted to control.

All Signs Point to Yes by g. haron davis, Adrianne White and Cam Montgomery is a romantic anthology whose main theme is astrology and the way it influences peopleβs lives.
I love anthologies. They offer so much in such a short time, but I joylessly need to say that this one did not hit the mark for the biggest part. I always give books more than a chance, especially in the case of anthologies because they collect a spectrum of voices and while I may dislike some, I am bound to find one I enjoy; and that happened, but only partially. I really liked a couple of stories, but as I said before most were not it (except three which had potential, but needed something more to make them feel complete and fully developed), I even had to stop reading some and I rarely do this. I just feel so disappointed.

This book made me ask myself, why don't I read short story compilations ore often?? All of the stories were very sweet and heartwarming but the bookstore witch one especially resonated with me! I truly cannot emphasize enough how much this book made me love the short story genre. What a great book. Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher for an e-arc in exchange for an honest review

3 stars, like with any anthology there were some I really enjoyed and some that were just meh. They were all pretty cute though. I would have liked some to be longer and some to be shorter. I'll have to look up some authors for sure! The narrators were all excellent!
