All Signs Point to Yes

Love is shown in many variations throughout this variously inclusive astrology-themed anthology edited by davis, Montgomery, and White, who also contribute. The volume features stories from 13 authors—one for each star sign—including Emery Lee, Mark Oshiro, Karuna Riazi, and more. Lily Anderson’s “Anchor Point,” in which a rivals-to-lovers trope ensnares two snarky archery-loving teens, and Roselle Lim’s “The Taste of a Kiss,” a humorous take on romance that chronicles a teenage food blogger’s first love (Korean fried chicken), provide fresh takes on classic narratives. Meanwhile, davis’s “ruler and killer,” in which a young witch competes in a tournament for the hand of a vampiric noble, offers a fantastical complement to the anthology’s contemporary tales. Readers searching beyond conventional romance will enjoy Alexandra Villasante’s “Mucho, Mucho Amor,” which emphasizes familial affection, and Eric Smith’s “The South Street Challenge,” a love letter to Philadelphia. From coffee shop meet-cutes to murder as an act of devotion, these stories celebrate myriad forms of love across genres, ensuring that readers across intersections—and star signs—see themselves in the skies. Ages 13–up. Agent: Jim McCarthy, Dystel, Goderich & Bourret. (May)
