The author of A Little Something Different brings you the most adorkable romance ever.

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.
 



Signs Point to Yes is actually my first Sandy Hall and Swoon Reads book, and for being the first it's not disappointing! This book is really cute and adorable, and like the publisher's name, it will make you swoon.

I could relate to Jane almost immediately. In many ways, she's similar to Cath from Fangirl. They both are a fangirl and like to write a fanfic. Also, they're both an introvert, and since I am too, it's not hard to imagine myself as them. Teo, on the other hand, is a really sweet guy! He's just really nice to everyone. He also has some family problems that made me want to pat him in the back, though.

As for the secondary characters, they are pretty awesome as well. In fact, there's no one that I hate. Ravi--Jane's supposed archnemesis--is actually a funny guy. He and Teo are like the complete opposite, yet they complete each other. Margo, Jane's sister, is very supportive toward Jane. Her characters made me want to have a sister as well.

The romance between Jane and Teo is very adorable. Some people might find the romance is "too easy" and "not deep enough", but for me, it's realistic. It actually reminds me of the romance that often happened in my school. There's no insta-love, and there's no "I love you until I die" thingy too.

Overall, I really like Signs Point to Yes. If there's one thing that I didn't like, it would be the plot. Okay, the plot is actually pretty good, but I feel like it could be developed more. For an instance, there's still some things that wasn't solved well, like the reason why Ravi hates Jane so much (it actually was answered, but the answer is too simple to make a person hate soemone for a really long time). But still, this book worth the read. Did I recommend this book? Well, signs point to yes.

  3. I'm really excited to get my hands on this!! I feels that I'm going to love, enjoy, and relate to Jane (mostly for being an introvert)... the romance sounds shallow but I do agree that at some point it's realistic because we go through that stage when we're young. Great review :)
