About the Book
"In this romantic comedy, a physics professor--after getting passed over for tenure and having her life completely upended--decides to throw caution to the wind and live by her horoscope predictions for a year"--Book 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.Review Quotes

When I started this book, I knew that I wasn't going to like the astrology part of it and I was right. I found myself skipping over the daily horoscopes with an eyeroll. But everything else about this book was super cute and I loved the fact that it was clean for the most part. I don't want to be reading the f- word every other word and I appreciate that. I thought the romance was cute and I loved the way they got together. If you are looking for a sweet romance with a side of astrology, then you will love this book. I received a complimentary copy of this book from NetGalley. All opinions are my own.
