Jane, a superstitious fangirl, takes an anonymous babysitting job to avoid an unpaid internship with her college-obsessed mom. The only problem? She's babysitting the siblings of her childhood friend and new crush, Teo.
Teo doesn't dislike Jane, but his best friend Ravi hates her, and is determined to keep them apart. So Teo's pretty sure his plans for a peaceful summer are shot. His only hope is that his intermittent search for his birth father will finally pan out and he'll find a new, less awkward home.

From School Library Journal Gr 8 Up—To save herself from her mom's meddling, Jane Connelly accepts a job as a nanny to three little girls. It brings her back into contact with Teo, a childhood friend. Teo Garcia barely knows Jane anymore. But the more Jane and Teo interact, the friendlier they become. Teo is hiding a secret: He is searching for his birth father. All he knows is his name. Jane inadvertently learns about Teo's mission and tries to help, with mixed results. This romance features just the right amount of teen angst. Jane faces immense pressure from her mom about her college future. Teo feels like he is losing his connection to his mom and his heritage, which pushes him forward in his search for his father. It is a summer of changes for both of them, and this bonds them together. Their interactions are silly and shy and resonate with growing emotions. Though the romance is just plain sweet, there are scenes of teenagers drinking and a sprinkling of curse words, which may put off some readers, but also showcases how genuinely Hall has captured her characters. A subplot involving Jane's sister's coming out as bisexual is rather clunky within the larger story, but the sisters become closer for it. Will there be a happy ending? Outlook good! Fun and original, Hall's sophomore novel has an authentic teen voice with plenty of charm. VERDICT A standout addition to library shelves.—Sarah Wethern, Douglas County Library, Alexandria, MN

1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. Signs Point to Yes By Stephanie Ward 'Signs Point to Yes' is a young adult contemporary fiction novel that fans of the genre will love to get their hands on. It follows our main character - Jane - as she begins her summer by dodging an internship with her mom at the college where she works by instead getting a babysitting job - one that just happens to be for their neighbor's daughters and the half sisters of her once best friend and new crush, Teo. Teo's not too excited about Jane babysitting his sisters either - he doesn't mind her, but his new best friend Ravi hates her and is going to make this summer terrible. Teo hopes that his renewed search for his birth father will finally produce results and he'll be able to move out of his house. Will anyone be able to have the summer the wanted - or will things turn out to be even better than they could've thought?I don't read a lot of YA contemporary fiction, mainly because the majority of them all feel the same. In my opinion, they all seem to follow a set template that only changes in small ways with each story. This book wasn't any different from the others. Don't get me wrong - it was a good book with interesting characters and solid writing - but the bare story line underneath wasn't original at all. As I said, the writing was well done and the characters were decently rounded - if not a bit cliched at times (which follows my theory about the set template for the story). I knew what was going to happen before I even opened the cover. Again - this criticism is my opinion only and could be due to the fact that I'm not a huge fan of the genre itself.The story touches on a lot of deep topics that will resonate with readers of all ages - especially teens. Some of the concepts the book touches on include love, acceptance, family, friendship and being yourself. The characters are realistic with distinct personalities and flaws, which allows the readers to easily connect with them early on in the story. Another aspect of the book that I didn't care for is the writing style - the point of view, to be exact. It's no secret that I firmly believe that a novel's POV can make or break it, and normally the first person is the best one for the author to use. This book was written in the third person POV, which is another reason I didn't really connect with the characters or the story. There wasn't any deep connection between the reader and the characters - and I think that's very important when it comes to this genre especially. If the story had been done in the first person POV from Jane's perspective, I probably would've had a better reading experience. Overall, this wasn't really a hit for me - but that's only because of my own personal preferences and issues. The book itself is well done and fans of the genre should definitely give it a shot.Disclosure: I received a copy of the book in exchange for an honest review.
1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. A Cute RomCom Type Book By Erin (The Hardcover Lover) FTC Disclosure: I received an advance proof from Swoon Reads in exchange for an honest review. Signs Point to Yes by Sandy Hall is a charming young adult romance novel that will leave readers smiling because of the quirky and dorky characters in the novel, but also because there are a few moments that will just grab at readers' heartstrings. The book is fun, light, and easy to read, but it also has some emotional moments that make it seem more realistic. I can see myself adding more of Sandy's books to my library because this book is just too stinking adorable!Signs Point to Yes is told in third person, and I think that narration style worked well for this novel. I liked the fact that there is one steady narrator throughout the novel, instead of a few different voices. While reading, the singular narrator makes everything feel consistent and equal. I never felt like one character was more important than another character. There are also some cute details added to the book, like text messages and a few notes in Jane's handwriting. My only wish is that there would have been more of them to give the book just a little more character and consistency.The two main characters in Signs Point to Yes are actually pretty adorable. Jane and Teo used to be friends, but have grown apart since childhood. The two are thrown together again when Jane agrees to babysit Teo's younger half-sisters for the summer instead of taking a summer internship. Watching these two figure each other out is a bit embarrassing, and I'll admit that I suffered from severe secondhand embarrassment while reading. They are all sorts of awkward, but it's funny to see in action, even if you find yourself smacking your head from all the dorky moments. Teo's not the only one with sisters; Jane also has an older sister who is seen as perfect through the eyes of their parents. This frustrates Jane because she feels very lost and out of place. Margo feels just as out of place as she is struggling to come clean with her parents about being bisexual. Then there's Teo's friend Ravi. He's away on a family emergency for most of the book, but he's just really annoying! I had a hard time with him, but he gives the book some sort of an antagonist.The characters in this book are all unique, but part of me just wishes that Sandy Hall would have given readers a few more details about each of them. By the time I finished reading Signs Point to Yes, I felt like I'd only just scratched the surface on these characters. Yes, I knew them, but I just felt like there was so much more to know about all of the main characters. (In a way, it kind of makes me hope for a sequel because I wouldn't mind seeing these characters in action again.)I had a hard time figuring out where Signs Point to Yes is set, so it made picturing things a bit more difficult for me. It doesn't really matter that the exact town or city isn't named because a reader can tell that the novel is set somewhere on the east coast. There are mentions of the beach, so I'm assuming that it's set in a coastal town, or at least somewhere relatively close to the coast, but the lack of knowing exactly where the book is set made it a little bit more difficult to imagine the path that the characters take when they go on a road trip. (I'm one of those readers who envisions everything!)A lot of things are going on in Signs Point to Yes, but it doesn't really seem like it because there is a lot of fluff. There is a great multi-layered plot in the novel, but things come and go so quickly that the book feels a bit rushed. For example, Jane is trying to deal with an over-controlling mother and her newfound feelings for Teo, but both issues are just glossed over every time they are mentioned. It's like this for many of the events and issues that the characters face, and just a few more paragraphs per chapter would have summed things up nicely. On the other hand, the plot is amusing and entertaining. Some of the issues have been touched in other YA novels, but Sandy Hall has a way with words that makes everything fresh again.Overall, I did enjoy Signs Point to Yes by Sandy Hall, and I can see myself rereading this book in the future just because it gave me the feels. (Yes, I think I just gave you all a Tumblr reference). If you're looking for something different to read, give Signs Point to Yes a chance. There are some fangirl moments. There are some romantic moments. There are moments with best friends, but there are also moments with family situations and problems that readers will enjoy reading about. The book is cute and off-beat, and I think that many fans of YA romance authors will enjoy sitting down on a beautiful day and reading it until they swoon.3.5 Stars
0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. A quirky, fluffy, summer worthy read! By Sarah stubbs *This review can also be found on readingmydayaway.blogspot.com*Jane is a self-labeled average girl, who loves Dr. Who crossover fanfiction. She's struggling to come up with a plan for her life after high school, but it's nearly impossible to find something that will appease both her and her mom, an employee at a local college and all around higher education proponent. Searching for a way to make some money over the summer and get out of a boring internship, she takes a job babysitting for her neighbors, and reconnects with Teo, an old childhood friend who's looking for his own plan.Sandy Hall has such a unique writing style that feels effortless and genuine. Her characters, especially Jane, felt more real and relatable to me than most high school kids, who have enormous responsibilities and highly uninvolved parents. While this book was mostly fluff, it was good fluff that lured me in to it's soft, fluffy lair and wouldn't let me leave. Jane and Teo's relationship was entertaining and light, and even though a successful romance is inevitable in a book like this, I almost felt comforted by the inevitability.Basically what this book did for me was recreate a summer filled with heat and frozen yogurt and romances and road trips and... and it's 29 degree outside right now. Signs Point to Yes would be a fab beach read, but pick it up in the winter time and you'll have your own burst of warmth without having to put 12 layers of clothing on. Also, can we just take a moment to appreciate the magic 8 ball? I realize that it's kinda cheesy but I thought it added a cute quirk to the story, and it provided a great moment to display some character development at the end.For the sheer entertainment value, although not necessarily the ground-breaking, fresh approach on young adult romance, I would recommend picking this up. It's light and a quick read, which is exactly what I needed
