LOOKING FOR A SIGN

Susie Dumond

A Novel

From the author of QUEERLY BELOVED, rated one of the best books of the year by Book Riot, comes an unputdownable romance that will leave you grinning.
LOOKING FOR A SIGN is for anyone feeling behind who's ever felt behind on their timeline in life. Gray is feeling adrift and lost after breaking up with her long-term girlfriend and moving to New Orleans right before her 29th birthday. At the urging of her best friend, she visits with a famous astrologer in attempts to find guidance in moving on from her first and only love and leaves with one question. What if finding true love was as simple as date with each zodiac sign?

As she moves through her queer astrological dating challenge, Gray is also facing a challenge at her new job in the form of her uptight and, most definitely straight, boss.

On a quest to find her soulmate and start building the family she's always dreamed of before the strike of "Saturn Return" on her 29th birthday, Gray's challenge leads her on the adventure of a lifetime as she dates her way through the zodiac. When it begins to threaten everything she believes, Gray is forced to really evaluate what she wants in life instead of leaving it up to fate, and ends up finding love where she least expected it.

Susie Dumond is a queer writer originally from Little Rock, Arkansas. She is the author of QUEERLY BELOVED (Dial Press, 2022) and is a senior contributor at Book Riot. Dial Press has a third romantic comedy signed up with Susie, expected to publish in 2025. When she's not writing or reading, you can find her baking cupcakes or belting karaoke at the nearest gay bar. Susie lives in Washington, DC with her wife Mary, her dog Waffles, and her cat Maple.

Looking for a Sign is a story of destiny and choices, and how our own journey in love and life often lies somewhere between the two. Romantic and tender, this book left me starry eyed.

You will fall in love with Gray as she journeys through the highs and lows of searching for The One against the beautiful backdrop of New Orleans. Even if you don't believe in astrology, this book will make you believe in love.

Looking For a Sign is the queer, New Orleans-based, astrological romance you didn't know you needed in your life. A sweet and spicy story about found family, taking chances on love, and getting through your Saturn return. There's something for every sign in this delightful sophomore novel by Susie Dumond.

[In her] triumphant sophomore outing... Dumond makes this premise sing and the unusual structure keeps the true love interest an exciting mystery as readers will catalogue Gray's dates with anticipation... Blending humor, tenderness, and a deep knowledge of astrology, this joyful queer romp will tickle anyone who believes that love is written in the stars.
