Enne Salta was raised as a proper young lady, and no lady would willingly visit New Reynes, the so-called City of Sin. But when her mother goes missing, Enne must leave her finishing school—and her reputation—behind to follow her mother’s trail to the city where no one survives uncorrupted. Frightened and alone, her only lead is a name: Levi Glaisyer. Unfortunately, Levi is not the gentleman she expected—he’s a street lord and a con man.

The author of A Little Something Different brings you the most adorkable romance ever.Signs Point to Yes is a hard one for me to review right now. Why? Because I read this when it came out in October and...have very little memory of it. Most of the time, I have a pretty good memory for books, how I felt about them, and have some talking points that I could remember, even months later. In this case, I remember that it's cute...and that's almost it.
Jane, a superstitious fangirl, takes an anonymous babysitting job to avoid an unpaid internship with her college-obsessed mom. The only problem? She’s babysitting the siblings of her childhood friend and new crush, Teo.
Teo doesn’t dislike Jane, but his best friend Ravi hates her, and is determined to keep them apart. So Teo’s pretty sure his plans for a peaceful summer are shot. His only hope is that his intermittent search for his birth father will finally pan out and he’ll find a new, less awkward home. Meanwhile, at Jane’s house, her sister Margo wants to come out as bisexual, but she’s terrified of how her parents will react.
In a summer filled with secrets and questions, even Jane’s Magic 8 ball can’t give them clear answers, but Signs Point to Yes.
I quite liked Sandy Hall's first book, A Little Something Different, so of course I wanted to read her followup, knowing it would at least benefit from an individual narrative voice and would have a sweet romance that I'd root for. That was the case, with Jane and her habit of consulting her Magic 8 ball, and her romance with Teo. However, while A Little Something Different was pretty strong and memorable, with it's many narrators, Signs Point to Yes was relatively milquetoast. It leaves the cute impression, but it won't stick with you for any time.
If you're in the mood for a quick read that you'll like, Signs Point to Yes won't disappoint, but it's also not going to leave you clamoring for more about Jane and Teo, either.
