Summary
“This one brims with magic。。。 An absolute page-turner and joy to read！— Jane Green， New York Times bestselling author
A surprising astrology reading sends Natasha Sizlo—divorced， broke， freshly heartbroken， and reeling from her father’s death—on an unexpected but magical journey to France， in pursuit of a man born on a particular date in a particular place: November 2， 1968 in Paris。
It’s the cusp of Natasha Sizlo’s forty-fourth birthday。 Still reeling from her disastrous divorce， she’s navigating life as a single mom and doing her best to fake it till she makes it in the cutthroat world of LA real estate。 In the meantime， her ex-husband is dating a Hollywood star， and she’s just broken it off—for the hundredth and final time—with her devastatingly handsome but impossibly noncommittal French boyfriend。
Just when it seems things can’t get any worse， her beloved father is given months to live。
So when she’s gifted a session with LA’s most sought-after astrologist， Natasha—despite being a total skeptic—figures she has nothing to lose。 The reading is eerily， impossibly accurate。 As her misgivings give way， Natasha can’t help but ask about her ex-boyfriend， the French man she can’t seem to get over。
To her surprise， the astrologist tells her that he is perfect for her。 His birthday and birthplace—November 2， 1968， in Paris， France—lines up with her astrological point of destiny。 The word husband comes up。
Natasha is distraught。 Panicked， even。 Was he really The One？ Was this all the big soul love she was destined for？
Then， she has a lightning bolt of an idea: her ex wasn’t the only man born on November 2， 1968， in Paris。 Natasha’s real soulmate is still out there—she just has to find him。
Joined by her sister and two of her closest girlfriends and buoyed by her father’s parting message to never give up on love， Natasha flies to the City of Light， determined to take destiny into her own hands。
Propulsive， touching， and darkly funny， All Signs Point to Paris is the story of one woman’s search for a second chance at love， with a dusting of astrological magic。 Unforgettable and inspiring， Natasha’s journey reveals what can happen when you ask the universe for what you want—and are brave enough to open your heart when the answer finally comes。

Since this is a memoir， I’m going to keep my thoughts short because I don’t want to rain on anyone’s real like story but there’s so much of it that doesn’t add up and so much of it that was so super annoying that I found myself skimming just so I could get through it and get on to the next chapter。 Natasha Sizlo is looking for her soulmate after an astrologer tells her that he has a birthday of November 2， 1968 in Paris， which happens to be the date and place of her ex， who she still has feeling Since this is a memoir， I’m going to keep my thoughts short because I don’t want to rain on anyone’s real like story but there’s so much of it that doesn’t add up and so much of it that was so super annoying that I found myself skimming just so I could get through it and get on to the next chapter。 Natasha Sizlo is looking for her soulmate after an astrologer tells her that he has a birthday of November 2， 1968 in Paris， which happens to be the date and place of her ex， who she still has feelings for but he does not reciprocate。 She decides that he can’t be the only one with that birthday and location so she starts a social media search to find other men matching the criteria。 Ok。 I get that you want to find love but dang， for someone who complains about being ashamed to bring people back to your house， you go out of your way to spend money on a trip to Paris？ And your ex is engaged to Anna Farris， so he’s probably doing well and would pay child support。 And if you’re working for The Agency that’s been seen on TRHOBH， you’re not that poor。 Pick a lane。 Stop sleeping around and making bad choices。 Dev was there and would have been perfect for you but you were too busy checking Tinder。 Get it together。 Thanks to Mariner Books and NetGalley for this eArc in exchange for my review 。。。more

Natasha Sizlo is on a mission to find all single men who were born on November 2， 1968 in Paris。 Why？ Because her astrologist told her that her soul mate is a man who was born in Paris on November 2， 1968。 Does it get any more LA than that？ In this touching memoir we learn about Sizlo's journey through managing the grief of losing her father to a terminal disease to a whirlwind trip to Paris to find The One。 She only finds the courage to go because on his death bed her father gives her the okay， Natasha Sizlo is on a mission to find all single men who were born on November 2， 1968 in Paris。 Why？ Because her astrologist told her that her soul mate is a man who was born in Paris on November 2， 1968。 Does it get any more LA than that？ In this touching memoir we learn about Sizlo's journey through managing the grief of losing her father to a terminal disease to a whirlwind trip to Paris to find The One。 She only finds the courage to go because on his death bed her father gives her the okay， even encouraging her adventure to find the magic and hold out for love。 I absolutely loved this memoir。 While it might be completely far fetched to think that a person's soul mate was born on a specific date in Paris， France because their natal chart told them so， I completely bought into the story。 Perhaps I am as much of a hopeless romantic that Sizlo is。 I bought into the magic of searching through the city for your destiny。 I was happy to read about how Natasha grew through the experience， and came out the other side a better person。 Who doesn't love a story when the main character evolves？ Also as a shameless Bravo fan， I loved the mentions of her work at The Agency， did not expect that！ This was just an overall feel good memoir that tied up nicely with a bow。 Finally， I wish I got to know Bob Sizlo in real life。 Sounded like an amazing person and father。 Joe Cool！I received a review copy from Mariner Books via NetGalley and I voluntarily provided an honest review。 This does not affect the opinion of the book or the content of the review。 。。。more

A memoir that reads like a novel。 All Signs Point to Paris is a touching story of love， loss， and finding your true destiny。 The only cons are long chapters， but once you get into it they make sense and also draw you in。

It was a really interesting memoir， formatted in the form of an easy-to-read novel。 The fact that it was a true story made the whole read more fascinating。 It is a real story about a woman who doesn't believe in astrology until she goes to an astrologist and they tell her things that there is no way she would know unless it was true—including the birthdate and place of one of her potential soul mates。 So， she travels to Paris in order to find him。 It was unlike any memoir I had read in that she It was a really interesting memoir， formatted in the form of an easy-to-read novel。 The fact that it was a true story made the whole read more fascinating。 It is a real story about a woman who doesn't believe in astrology until she goes to an astrologist and they tell her things that there is no way she would know unless it was true—including the birthdate and place of one of her potential soul mates。 So， she travels to Paris in order to find him。 It was unlike any memoir I had read in that she took this life journey to find her soulmate and met people across the world based on their birthdates！ The author was personable and daring。 She lives the life that I would love to live—going on an adventure in order to find destiny。 So， I loved being able to experience her journey。 However， it had a really slow start to the book。 There were definitely moments in the story where the experiences felt disjointed or didn't transition well。 I also felt that when the author tied in the moral of certain scenes， it felt rushed and at times inauthentic to the moment because the lesson wouldn't seem to be learned until later scenes （if at all）。 I know each person has their own personality and it is based on this author's story; however， there was a lot of cussing in the book。 Not just cussing， but the use of the "F" word。 I wasn't a fan of its use， but I guess she is recording her experiences as they took place instead of filtering。#AllSignsPointtoParis #NetGalley #GoodreadsFirstReads 。。。more

How far （literally） would you go for love？ How much are you willing to compromise or give up for the "right" person？ That's the overall premise。 I was a bit skeptical in the first few chapters because it felt a lot like she was making her problems seem much worse than everyone else's。 As it progressed， however， she became much more relatable and authentic。 I found it a bit silly that she invested so much time and energy based on what one person， the psychic， told her to look for in a romantic pa How far （literally） would you go for love？ How much are you willing to compromise or give up for the "right" person？ That's the overall premise。 I was a bit skeptical in the first few chapters because it felt a lot like she was making her problems seem much worse than everyone else's。 As it progressed， however， she became much more relatable and authentic。 I found it a bit silly that she invested so much time and energy based on what one person， the psychic， told her to look for in a romantic partner。 If she was going to go through this amount of trouble to find her "soulmate" in another country， it probably would have been wise to get a second or even third opinion given that she was struggling financially。Was this optimism or desperation？ Although I wasn't completely sold on the spiritual part of it， I did think there were a lot of takeaways that we often don't consider when looking for a romantic partner。- Are you giving your future partner a real chance？ Or， are you limiting yourself by placing countless restrictions on preferences？- Make a commitment to your future partner before you ever even meet them。- You will find love when you stop looking for it。- tIs death all there is to life？ Or， is love the ultimate sacrifice for truly living？- Try something new that builds your confidence， even if that's a physical change that may be drastic， like changing your hair or trying a new outfit that makes you feel good。 Find something that is empowering that you never would have done in the past。 - Get uncomfortable with trying something new。I didn't really like how she treated her sister but I can also relate to this。 Siblings tend to prioritize their romantic partners or friends over relatives。 She did this to her sister a few times when her sister was her biggest ally。 However， this mostly frustrated me because it wasn't for a friend or partner but for complete strangers。 You have to keep an open mind when reading it because it's highly spiritual and based on an astrological belief and life after death。 Because each chapter started this way I found myself skimming a few times。 I can probably be convinced with enough evidence but it felt more to me like she was in denial about death & love and not wanting to let go of either。 Overall， I appreciate her sharing the journey。 It wasn't really about the final outcome and what happens when searching for a soulmate， but the inspiration that it ignites in others to remain hopeful about true love。Thanks William Morrow for the giveaway！ 。。。more

This is a super memoir about a woman looking for love， magic and destiny。 While I was reading it I kept thinking that surely I was reading a romantic fiction novel， yet apparently author Natasha Sizlo really did go to Paris to search for her one true love who her astrologer told her was someone born in Paris on November 2， 1968。 And she didn't conduct her search quietly - she cast a wide net on social media， through dating apps， by posting posters everywhere and telling literally everyone she me This is a super memoir about a woman looking for love， magic and destiny。 While I was reading it I kept thinking that surely I was reading a romantic fiction novel， yet apparently author Natasha Sizlo really did go to Paris to search for her one true love who her astrologer told her was someone born in Paris on November 2， 1968。 And she didn't conduct her search quietly - she cast a wide net on social media， through dating apps， by posting posters everywhere and telling literally everyone she meets about her search。 Just crazy！ But loads of fun。 Maybe one day in the not to near future she will be making her acting debut in a Netflix series based on her memoir。 Will be recommending it to my book club as soon as it is published。Thanks to #NetGalley #BookClubGIrl and #HarperCollins for the advanced read。 。。。more

When Natasha Sizlo's astrologer told her that her toxic ex's chart was her perfect match， she knew he couldn't really be her soulmate。 But he couldn't be the only person born on November 2， 1978 in Paris。 With her dying father's encouragement， Sizlo decided to fly to Paris to find every man she could born on that date — and hopefully to find true love。Sizlo writes engagingly about her journey， which often feels too magical and thrilling to be true。 I appreciate how Sizlo doesn't shy away from th When Natasha Sizlo's astrologer told her that her toxic ex's chart was her perfect match， she knew he couldn't really be her soulmate。 But he couldn't be the only person born on November 2， 1978 in Paris。 With her dying father's encouragement， Sizlo decided to fly to Paris to find every man she could born on that date — and hopefully to find true love。Sizlo writes engagingly about her journey， which often feels too magical and thrilling to be true。 I appreciate how Sizlo doesn't shy away from the messier moments in her adventures and embraces both her optimism and her eccentricity。 Whether you believe astrology or not， this memoir about finding love in unexpected ways is delightful and inspiring！Thanks to the publisher for the advanced copy。 。。。more

I loved this book: a fun， funny beachy read with real heart and depth。 I'd recommend it to anyone who ever found themselves wondering if all the magic in life had been spent; if all the "what-ifs" have been answered--and not in the way you'd hoped。 Is there ever still a chance for a happily ever after？It's set in a city and world I don't know at all and loved reading about--LA and the world of high end real estate。 That's the first part of the book， and then the very end， too， after she comes ba I loved this book: a fun， funny beachy read with real heart and depth。 I'd recommend it to anyone who ever found themselves wondering if all the magic in life had been spent; if all the "what-ifs" have been answered--and not in the way you'd hoped。 Is there ever still a chance for a happily ever after？It's set in a city and world I don't know at all and loved reading about--LA and the world of high end real estate。 That's the first part of the book， and then the very end， too， after she comes back home。 The middle takes place in Paris， a city I love， and where Natasha Sizlo goes to try to find her soulmate。 At age 45。 With her sister and two best girlfriends。 And suitcases full of gifted and borrowed date-night worthy clothes。 Honestly， it was so fun to read about their trip and Natasha is very open about the ups and downs and even the stupid things she did while searching for love。And then the scene at the end where she finds （NOT GOING TO SPOIL）。 Omg。 I'd like to say PLEASE LET SOMETHING LIKE THIS HAPPEN TO ME but I'd never be brave enough to do what she did in the first place。 。。。more

I didn't know what I was getting into with reading this book。 The premise of finding love based off of an astrology reading that gave a date and place of birth would be great for a well written fiction book。 But this？ It just didn't work for me。 I had to DNF at 65%。 This book honestly could have been a few journal entries or stayed on her Instagram account since it's really just chronicling her rich white girl midlife crisis。 It seems very unbelievable that EVERY person she met in Paris was imme I didn't know what I was getting into with reading this book。 The premise of finding love based off of an astrology reading that gave a date and place of birth would be great for a well written fiction book。 But this？ It just didn't work for me。 I had to DNF at 65%。 This book honestly could have been a few journal entries or stayed on her Instagram account since it's really just chronicling her rich white girl midlife crisis。 It seems very unbelievable that EVERY person she met in Paris was immediately drawn in every time she told her story。 I'm surprised the Eiffel tower didn't clap for her too。 Also there are so many tangents throughout that it feels like this was written by a highschooler who is trying to meet a word count by adding in unnecessary fluff。 。。。more

All Signs Point to Paris was a easy read， and is the kind of light book I enjoy reading during the summer months。 I'm not into astrology， though， so in addition to skipping the introduction to each chapter， I found it unbelievable that anyone could go all in on a crazy mission to track down a possible soulmate based on their birthdate， and fly all the way to Paris to do it！ I had finished the book before I realized it was a memoir， and not fiction。 Which is probably why at times it felt like a r All Signs Point to Paris was a easy read， and is the kind of light book I enjoy reading during the summer months。 I'm not into astrology， though， so in addition to skipping the introduction to each chapter， I found it unbelievable that anyone could go all in on a crazy mission to track down a possible soulmate based on their birthdate， and fly all the way to Paris to do it！ I had finished the book before I realized it was a memoir， and not fiction。 Which is probably why at times it felt like a reality TV show， where I was partly frustrated by Tasha's life choices， and partly finding myself rooting for her to succeed in her quest。 Overall， it was okay， but not something I would have chosen to read had I paid more attention to what it was about before I started。I received a copy of the ebook through NetGalley， in exchange for my honest review。 。。。more

It's a fun story， so I'm probably alone in my opinion that the memoir is pretty unrealistic。 I would have appreciated "All Signs Point to Paris: A Memoir of Love， Loss， and Destiny" more if the author had written it as a fictional romantic comedy rather than a memoir。 To me the story， while well written， seemed contrived as though the author had this great idea for a novel and told her two friends and her sister she'd fly them all to Paris so she could expand on her idea and write about a search It's a fun story， so I'm probably alone in my opinion that the memoir is pretty unrealistic。 I would have appreciated "All Signs Point to Paris: A Memoir of Love， Loss， and Destiny" more if the author had written it as a fictional romantic comedy rather than a memoir。 To me the story， while well written， seemed contrived as though the author had this great idea for a novel and told her two friends and her sister she'd fly them all to Paris so she could expand on her idea and write about a search for her soulmate。 After all， she can probably write it off as a business expense。 I decided to read it as though it was a fictional romantic comedy and kept reading。 The trip to Paris happens because an expensive astrologist tells Natasha her soulmate is there and has the same November birth date as her recent ex-boyfriend。 Since I'm not particularly interested in astrology， after I read the passage from the house of zodiac at the beginning of the first chapter， I didn't bother with the ones at the beginning of the other chapters。 Since I'm being harsh in my opinion， I'll add that while not used in every chapter or conversation， I'm not fond of the use of F&*# as an explanatory word or F&*#ing as a descriptive word。 。。。more

I loved this book！ I love reading stories involving romance in France。 This book was a very heartwarming memoir。 I hope that Tasha has found her true love or will find her true love soon。 I am also sorry for the loss of her dad。

A truly honest and fun adventure story that gives you the desire to wonder the ‘what ifs’ about your own life。 While I did NOT understand all the notes at the start of each chapter dealing with astrology， I didn’t have to， I just needed to be open to go along to Paris and back， something that both enjoyable， fun and surprising。
