What's Your Sign? by Lila Monroe

Review by Sasha Kobylinski Star-crossed lovers. The beautiful tragic stories that seem to always be too good to be true. What if you could change your fate? Make the stars work for you? Natalie works for The Gazette, a newspaper that is slowly falling into obsoletion as the world is moving more towards a digital age. A guardian angels has swooped in to save the dying company, and Natalie has no idea what to expect of her new world. When her first day with the new owner, she is hoping to give off a good first impression. That impression did not include getting stuck in the elevator. Luckily she isn’t alone in this moment of fear. How quickly they went from strangers trying to offer each other comfort to wrapped up in each other’s arms, passionately kissing when the elevator begins to move again. Justin Rockwell has no idea what to make of his father’s most recent acquisition, The Gazette. The fate of this company lies in his hand. He will be the one who will determine if the company has any salvageable qualities to it, or if they should cut their losses and sell what they can to make their deal worthwhile. Justin’s day goes from bad to worse when he upon setting foot in the building, he gets stuck in the elevator. The only bright side to this small bump in the road is that there is a gorgeous mystery girl also stuck in there with him. Out of the elevator and into the real world, Justin and Natalie get a shock when they learn who they just kissed. Can Natalie’s passion for journalism and the newspaper convince Justin to save The Gazette?

I think that this concept is so fun. I’ve always found the star-crossed lovers trope to be a story filled with tension, lust, pain and inevitable heartbreak. Monroe does grab you right from the start considering there is a steamy make-out session to kick the whole novel off. The story is face-paced and keeps the reader intrigued from the start. The manipulation factor is innocent enough that most of what comes from Natalie’s actions is funny and laughable. Nothing drastic happens that it would cause harm to the characters. The story moves between Natalie and Justin’s point of view which I found to fully capture the whole story. The reader understands Natalie’s thoughts in what she wrote, and then gets to see how Justin interpreters them. I’d give this book 5 out of 5 stars. Justin Rockwell is being added to my list of book boyfriends and I’m not ashamed. He’s sweet and compassionate, wanting to do what’s best for the people he works with. He doesn’t live up to the mean and rude CEO that his father wants him to be. It’s simple to see how Natalie fell for him because I think every reader will do so as well. A light heart read that will have you laughing from start to finish, What’s your sign is perfect for all those horoscope obsessed readers out there.
