Synopsis

After getting passed over for tenure and having her life upended in the process, a physics professor decides to throw caution to the wind and live by her horoscope predictions for a year in this effervescent rom-com from the New York Times bestselling author of Made in Manhattan.

As the youngest physics professor at her university, practical-minded Miranda Reed plans her life with minute precision. But that’s before she’s denied tenure and the promotion she thought was guaranteed. Suddenly, her tidy life is anything but constant.

Overdue for a sabbatical, Miranda takes some time to look towards the stars—only this time, she’s not looking for black holes. With her faith in science shaken, Miranda turns to a practice she’s long dismissed as preposterous: astrology.

Determined to figure out why her life has suddenly gone sideways, Miranda commits to a year of letting her horoscope guide her. Soon she’s taking on new home improvement projects, adopting a new pet, and studying what the stars have to say about her ideal love match. The intriguingly aloof artist living next door? Never. His Aries energy is all wrong. On the other hand, the charming father of her new tutoring pupil is Sagittarian perfection. Made for her...right?

As Miranda navigates life with new a perspective, she slowly discovers neither science nor the stars have all the answers. And that, when it comes to love, you sometimes just have to trust your heart.

4-4.5 ⭐️ Have I mentioned how big of a Lauren Layne fan I am? To put it in perspective, of the forty-two books she’s written, I have read all but three (I need to get on this). Not only is she an auto-buy author for me, her books are also comfort reads. So of course the second a new book is announce......more

Lauren Layne could write a grocery list and I would read it. I absolutely adore her novels and this one is no different. Miranda and Archer’s romance is a sweet slow-burn, with so much witty banter, opposite attraction primeness. I just wish it was longer but if you want to grin, and be astound by L......more

Goodreads review by Amy on July 23, 2024

LL never misses for me, I swear every time I finish one of her books I’m ridiculously happy and giddy and this was no exception. The romance here is a super slow burn, some angst and the authors signature witty banter. I’m not into astrology but this actually made me wanna dive into it a little more......more
