As a fellow Aries, I saw a lot of myself within Gray! I'm even on the same journey as her so this couldn't have been a more perfectly timed read. Having a quarter-life crisis and feeling like she's falling behind, Gray looks to the stars and one Madame Nouvelle Lune for help, she finds herself in a dating challenge with each of the zodiac signs to achieve her dream of finding her soulmate and starting a family. With a unique plot such as this, the book introduced a colorful cast of characters that you can't help but love.

I enjoyed Gray and Cherry's relationship. They are the best friends and unconditionally support and love one another. They also weren't afraid to have tough conversations and, in my opinion, this helped Gray to grow.

I also loved the diversity of the characters and dates. Gray's dates range in sexuality, gender, and race. Each character felt fully developed and I found myself agreeing and keeping tabs similar to how Gray was. It is such a breath of fresh air to the romance genre!
