Looking for a Sign

"A sweet and spicy story about found family, taking chances on love, and getting through your Saturn return."--Elissa Sussman, bestselling author of Funny You Should Ask

A newly single queer woman moves to New Orleans and sets off on a mission to find her most compatible match by going on a date with someone of each astrological sign in this rom-com from the Lambda Literary Award-nominated author of Queerly Beloved.

Reeling from a breakup with her long-term partner, Gray--an optimistic lesbian Aries--relocates to New Orleans for a new job. Gray wants to meet someone, settle down, and build the loving, accepting family she's always wanted, but having been out of the dating scene for a decade, she has no idea where to start. After visiting an iconic astrologer, Gray and her best friend, Cherry, draw up a dramatic scheme: Gray will go on a date with someone of each zodiac sign to test their compatibility and get a jump start on creating the queer family of her dreams--all before her twenty-ninth birthday, when Saturn will usher in a major turning point in her life.

Gray's got her hands full getting to know her new city, proving herself at her new job, wooing twelve new paramours--cue bathroom hookups, ghosts, getting ghosted, incredible macchiatos, and celesbians--and making some surprising discoveries about her needs and desires. Even when the dating challenge throws a few curveballs that make Gray question what she believes that she's destined for, she's determined to finish what she's started while the planets are still on her side.
