***ARC provided by the publisher for reviewI was super stoked for this collection of short stories (yay astrology love stories!), but the result did not match my expectations at all! Each story begins with an introduction to the signs in Venus, where each explores relationships and interpersonal relations – in theory the perfect way to set the tone for each story, while also providing a short but in-depth explanation of astrology tropes for those less familiar. But then each story proceeds to ha...

(Rounded up to 3.5 ) I've really got into short stories recently and All Signs Point To Yes is exactly what it says on the the book. A Love Story for every Star Sign. It's honestly adorable and whilst some stories definitely stood out more than others I enjoyed them all. I loved that different kinds of love were explored from romantic love to familial love. Representation matters and it was so refreshing to see such a wide range of stories from Trans Rep to Muslim Rep and all body types celebrat...

2.5* i really loved the concept of this anthology but unfortunately it did not meet my expectations. with a full cast of queer and diverse characters AND astrology this should’ve honestly been my new favorite book. i didn’t really love the stories with fantastical elements because i felt like the magic wasn’t really fleshed out. i also had that problem with some of the romances. a few of them i really enjoyed and thought were quite fun but unfortunately a lot of them fell flat for me. some more

Uncorrected Advance reader copy Goodreads Win.\It is a collection of love stories that is not necessary focus on traditional love relating. Showcasing different cultures as it ties with the traditional Western zodiac signs. Short stories that wet the appetite for more but it felt a bit flat. I expected more plot in the stories.

Review copy courtesy of Inkyard Press via EdelweissWhat a very diverse collection of loosely-zodiac-themed stories! Stories featured all types of ethnicities, gender, and sexualities, but they also were not all realistic fiction or magical realism so it was very jarring between stories. Definitely recommended for high school libraries to add a bit of fast fiction recommendations, especially to attract those who love astrology.

Great collection of short multicultural romance stories based on astrological signs. There's a little something for everyone with not only magic surrealism but contemporary stories! I'm a huge fan of short story anthologies and this one delivers!

Good diversity for authors and characters. Some stories were stronger than others, which is pretty par for the course with a collection.

Thanks to the publisher for providing an eARC of All Signs Point to Yes in exchange for an honest review.This is such a cool idea. I'm incredibly biased for thinking the Pieces story was the second best one (because you can't put Mark Oshiro in an anthology without that automatically being the best story) but maybe that means it did a really good job by figuring out exactly what kind of story I was looking for? Regardless, this was a really well compiled and varied anthology.

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for providing me with an ARC of this book in exchange for an honest review. Like most anthologies, my opinions on the stories in this book varied, but I ended up enjoying a surprising number of these stories! The characters were, for the most part, intriguing, with the pacing and the plots varying in how interesting I found them. The diversity was well done and inclusive, and most of the relationsips throughout were pretty well written. It was also intere...

I mean, I think it's pretty cool, personally.

This book is like a hug in your hands. Lots of mushy gushy romance, just enough fantastical on top of the realism to leave me wanting to explore all the short stories a bit more, but not so much I was sad the authors selected the short story form. Great book for teen readers who aren't into long form novels and adore astrology. Honestly, every short story was a delight to read and the collection as a whole has perfect flow. Thanks to NetGalley and Inkyard Press for an early read in exchange for

“Will explore the many facets of love from meet-cutes to the love expressed by aromantic people”? Holy what?!

This one was super cute! Some stories definitely stood out more than others, but as a whole, it was an enjoyable read! Aries: 🌟🌟 Ok, that one was just odd. The world was weird, the magic was nonsensical, and the romance was nonexistent. Was it even a romance? It was there for like 5 pages, and there was no connection. I know these are short stories, but jeez, I want more than that Taurus: 🌟🌟🌟🌟 This one was cute! I loved the childhood best friends to lovers plot line, and the food aspects made me...
