Leah Lockhart is more than her astrology. She'll search the world to prove it.
Leah Lockhart is proudly science-minded and woo-woo averse. But the life she’s carefully curated is knocked suddenly off course, first by a destabilizing case of vertigo, and then by an astrology reading that claims she’s living way out of line with what was written in her stars.
Incensed, Leah sets off on a mission to prove that astrology is bogus by comparing her life to that of her Star Twins around the world—people born under her exact same map of the stars. But her even deeper guides on a whirlwind journey through Venice, Istanbul, New Orleans, and beyond turn out to be three people already in her orbit: the mother she thinks abandoned her, the father she thinks saved her, and the former boy next door whose love could be the path to her truest self.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Rosen (The Heirloom) pits high-strung OB-GYN Leah Lockhart against her long-ignored desires in this weepy contemporary. After vertigo topples her mid-delivery, Leah and her uptight physician father's maternity clinic are threatened with a malpractice suit. Her cousin Charlotte urges her into an astrological consult where Leah the Leo is told she must let her inner self free. Determined to prove the stars wrong, she decides to track down others with her exact birth date and time to compare their lives and choices. So begins an astrologically driven world tour, from a luscious Venetian let-it-all-hang-out retreat (featuring a tight-trousered Italian chef) to Istanbul and a swoony rock star. Along the way, Leah starts to question everything she believes. Her father's failing health, however, calls her back home, where she tearfully reunites with her long-estranged hippie mother and finds true romance with her childhood beau. The far-flung locales make a breathtaking background, but the heavy-handed emotions and shoehorned messages about personal growth feel overwrought. Armchair travelers and astrological true believers may find something to enjoy, but others can give this a pass.
