All Signs Point to Malibu by Jennifer Snow
3.75
3.75 for me. I thought this was a really cute. I think the idea was a fun one and it was for the most part an enjoyable read.
What I liked:
-the tension between Hailey and warren. so many times, I was just kiss each other already! In a fun way because any moment where they almost kiss gets interrupted.
-I liked the antics that they were getting into.
-I liked how these two actually care about the people in their lives. Warren with the kids he coaches such as with Marcus and how he wants to do right by him but doesn't want to be like his father. Hailey who yes has a social media lifestyle and seems superficial but truly just wants to see her people successful but starts to struggle with the idea that success doesn't always mean happy, and she worries if she is truly helping people.
-I liked how it ended and there was even a moment where I get choked up
Personal annoyance
-I am the type of person who believes you can only lead a horse to water you can't make it drink and sometimes as long as no one is in true physical or mental harm you have to let them make mistakes. So, while I think the whole premise of this book of trying to stop your old boyfriend from making a mistake because it will result in a divorce or unhappiness later in his life was cute. I did eventually as I was reading it get a little irked because yes, these two are really rushing things and aren't talking about things and are not setting themselves up for success as a married couple so all you can do as a friend is voice your concern and then you have to let them make their own mistake.
In the end this was a fun and cute read and I did like Hailey and Warren together.
This book is about Hailey who has a unique gift of seeing the potential futures of those she touches the lifelines on their hand with hers. She has been able to turn this into a successful business of being a life coach. A lonely one but still a successful one. Then one day following an earthquake tremor where there is some damage to her pool. So, she calls the man who while he is the father of her ex has because a stable influence in her life. So, when she opens her door expecting the older man, she is surprised to see her ex standing there wanting to check out her pool's damage. But opening seeing him on her doorstep also opened the door to old feelings that make her wonder if this a sign for a potential 2nd chance at love with him. That is until his fiancé comes out of the car... Rethinking the possibility of a second chance she decides to check his future something she has never been able to do before due their relationship. So, when she sees heartbreak in his future, divorce and possibly career failure she decides that she needs to break up this couple and prevent the marriage that will only end in doom and what better way that to do that than to "help" plan and host their engagement party. However, her plans keep getting wrecked by the best man her nemeses Warren who they have a shared and bumpy past to say the least and he seems very suspicions of her motivations for helping out her ex. But as they are forced to work together, they start to see new sides to each other, and she starts to wonder what his future could possible hold?
