All Signs Point To Malibu by Jennifer Snow: A Book Review

Reading a book that is set in Summer during Summer is oddly satisfying. Since this Summer in the UK has not exactly been warm and dry, reading a book where I can imagine myself sunbathing in Malibu is my way to get a Summer fix. Recently, I was asked to review a book, 'All Signs Point to Malibu' by Jennifer Snow. 

Let's set the scene:

Hailey Harris is a successful life coach in Malibu and she is someone who can't stop messing with fate, whether it's part of her job or not. Hailey uses her ability to glimpse into clients' futures to help guide them down the right path. However, as much as she is a success, Hailey feels somewhat lonely and has been lonely since she broke up with her ex Liam Jensen. 

Liam is someone she might have confided in about this, however, he is now engaged to Sonia, a heiress whose family wants Liam to help construct 3 new hotels as part of their ever-growing chain. 

However, Hailey has a vision predicting a not-so-happy ending for the couple. Now Hailey is on a mission to stop the wedding and stop Liam and his fiancee make the biggest mistake of their lives. 

However, things don't go plain sailing and Liam's best friend and Hailey's nemesis, Warren Mitchell is suspicious of Hailey's motivations. Warren and Hailey are forced to work together as best man and maid of honour to plan this wedding. Can they get on? Or is Hailey fighting fate?

What are your thoughts on 'All Signs Point To Malibu' by Jennifer Snow?

This is a classic enemies-to-lovers book. It was a good read, however, the main characters could have been more likeable. For a life coach, Hailey came across as rather selfish for wanting to stop her ex Liam's wedding to Sonia. However, Hailey did thankfully somewhat redeem herself in the end. I do think she's right in that the wedding was happening too quickly. However, I'm not an avid believer in life coaches foreseeing your future by touching your lifeline in your hand. 

Warren Mitchell was an ok character, he is definitely a character I warmed to nearer the end of the story. I did kind of feel for Hailey's ex Liam as he's being used by Sonia's father to get his resorts up and running. But in the end, his actions made me call him a few rather sweary names! I feel for Sonia as she doesn't know the meddling that Hailey is doing to stop the wedding and as Sonia looks up to Hailey as a sort of role model, it doesn't seem fair. But I'm glad Sonia gets her life on track at the end of the book.

I wished there was more communication between Hailey and Warren, but I'm glad the book ended the way it did. 

With this book, the POVs go back and forth between Hailey and Warren. However, you have to figure out who's speaking and when during the book as it isn't labelled. This means you have to concentrate while reading!

One thing I did like was each chapter was named after an inspirational quote posted on Hailey's social media.

Would you recommend 'All Signs Point To Malibu'?

This is definitely a great Summer read. A perfect book to read before the Summer season comes to an end. As I said, the characters weren't at all likeable and relatable for me, but that doesn't mean to say you won't love them!

'All Signs Point To Malibu' is due for release on the 17th of September and you pre-order here!

I'd love to know your thoughts on this book review!
