Synopsis

From USA TODAY bestselling author Jennifer Snow comes a hilarious rom-com with a speculative twist that asks: Why put off until tomorrow the wedding you can sabotage today?

Hailey Harris can’t stop messing with fate. A successful life coach, Hailey uses her ability to glimpse the future to guide her clients down the right path. But her gift has made her own life lonely. After all, having a real friend would mean asking someone to believe the unbelievable.

The one person she might have confided in—her ex, Liam Jensen—is newly engaged to a beautiful, sweet, thoughtful heiress. But when Hailey has a vision predicting a not-so-happy ending for the couple, her mission is clear: help Liam and his fiancée avoid the biggest mistake of their lives.

Stopping the wedding while planning Liam’s engagement party is no easy feat. And Warren Mitchell—Liam’s sexy, irritating best man and Hailey’s nemesis—is suspicious of Hailey’s motivations. Between sleeping with her frenemy and watching her careful plans spiral out of control, Hailey discovers the real cause of Liam’s future heartbreak. But now that she knows the truth, will Hailey keep on fighting fate or trust in the love she never saw coming?

Thoughts

I just finished reading "All Signs Point to Malibu" by Jennifer Snow, and I have to say, it was such a delightful summer read! The touch of magical realism with Hailey's ability to see people's futures added a unique and intriguing element to the story.

I found myself really connecting with Hailey's character. Her genuine nature and realistic sense of self-doubt made her feel so relatable, despite her extraordinary gift. It's refreshing to see a protagonist who's kind and caring, yet still struggles with insecurities like the rest of us.

Now, let's talk about Warren Mitchell – oh my goodness, I absolutely adored him! His banter with Hailey had me grinning from ear to ear, and the way his feelings for her evolved throughout the story was just *chef's kiss*. The tension between them was palpable, and I found myself eagerly turning pages to see their next interaction.

As for the other characters, I thought Sonia was pretty decent. It was nice to see a genuinely kind character in her role. Liam, on the other hand, didn't quite capture my heart. I found myself firmly on Team Warren from early on!

Overall, this book was the perfect beach read. The romance had me swooning, the touch of magic kept things interesting, and the summer vibes were on point. If you're looking for a fun, light-hearted romance with a twist, I'd definitely recommend giving "All Signs Point to Malibu" a try!
