About this audiobook
This year is all about healing the heart, Scorpio. It's time to leave negative attitudes and stoic facades at the door and let others see the real, more vulnerable you.
Percy Freedman is not grieving. Absolutely not, take that back at once. No, he's entirely sure that selling his dead aunt's home and leaving the neighbors he's known for years is the sane thing to do. Who in their right mind would keep the house that smells like all the hugs he'll never have again?
Nobody, that's who.
Well, except his cul-de-sac neighbors. They all seem to think some paint and new furniture will clean the emotional slate. They all want him to stay.
Even his nemesis, Callaghan Glover.
Especially his nemesis, Callaghan Glover.
Lured into a game of Sherlock Gnomes, Percy finds himself hanging out with his neighbors more than might be considered healthy. Along with juggling new and surprising verbal grenades from Cal, and his burgeoning friendship with Gnomber9, Percy is starting to wonder if selling might have been the grief talking after all . . .
That's right, Scorpio. With a little patience, heartbreak might be a thing of the past . . .
Contains mature themes.

- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5one of my favourite comfort reads. would give a hand and a foot to live in an anyta sunday book, tbh
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/54.5 stars
Short, sweet, brought a smile to my face. This was exactly what I wanted to read right now.
The characters felt real, the setting was nice, the world was believable, and the plot was good, if not mind blowing. This was more about loving and accepting love than action or getting from point A to point B.
Scorpio Hates Virgo is a simple story with a happy ending, that's well written and well paced. The relationship is adorable and very slow burn. I love how the author brings home what love (and falling in love) is about. So many romance authors seem to want you to think that lusting after someone means loving them, while those things don't necessarily have anything to do with each other. You can love someone without wanting them sexually, and you can lust after someone you don't particularly even like, not to mention care about. When you feel both for the same person, it's perfect, but not many authors know how to depict this without over emphasizing the part sex plays in the equation. I love how Sunday handles both sides, and this book did not disappoint.
I really like this series because while it has some conflict, it's the vanilla variety (if not almost French vanilla). The stories don't have characters struggling with mental illness or homophobic families or any major catastrophes, the conflicts are more the everyday variety that everyone battles with, like insecurity, heart ache, grief and generally just people lacking the courage to communicate frankly. In other words, the stories are very easy to relate to.
The only things I disliked about this book were the cover, and how short it was. I'm pretty sure the cover is going to put off some people who I'm sure would love the book if they gave it a chance. The book also had a lot of lovely side characters that I wouldn't have minded reading in more detail. All in all, this was my favorite read in a little while and I'm so glad I read it. - Rating: 2 out of 5 stars2/5This book felt like it was in a vacuum, the descriptions were intangible and didn't make a picture or give me a clear view of the houses, the community, the characters. I don't know what any of them look like. And that's just odd because Anyta's Rock was amazing, utterly magical, the descriptions weaving a beautiful movie in my head.
So idk what happened recently but I don't like this writing style. It just feels empty, the places and characters void of color and shape. I'd have expected after Rock Anyta would've improved, gotten even more magical, but the opposite happened and I'm very confused. Was Rock a lighting in a bottle, a Lucky strike, a happy instance?
Was there something different in the process of editing or publishing of Rock to these? Was it edited by a publishing company and these Signs of Love self-published? Usually I wouldn't think it's that, because I've read plenty of self-published books and fanfics that are incredibly good. But maybe Anyta needs more of a guidance, a hand, a critical something (an editor?) to help her. Or whatever made Rock such a success and gorgeously written be brought back.
What's odd is that I remember liking the first book of this series, maybe I should reread to see if it's just this book or I was sleep reading the first one.
Heavy sigh. - Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Anyta Sunday does it again, leaving me with a romance that had me flipping the pages so quickly that my poor Kobo kept freezing up. It just couldn’t keep up with my voracious appetite for more of this story and the nerdy, wonderful characters within it.Percy is a character that is very identifiable to some, I believe. Afraid of the word home, and all the “trappings” that might come with it. Afraid of commitment, even though he does want his own happiness. Instead of trying to stick close to the one place he feels most comfortable, cared for and loved he seems to spend most of the book fighting against those feelings instead of treasuring them.Callaghan amuses me for so many different reasons, including his verbosity. He is my kind of guy, with a word for every occasion, and a dictionary as a weapon. Sometimes almost literally. His love of dinosaurs is honestly what drew me to this book, as I’ve been obsessed since a child, and I want to own every single one of his t-shirts.Their relationship is the type of slow burn I do love to read, and their quips and jibes at each other are truly amusing. Callaghan’s family honestly felt like spectators in the best possible way. Ellie and Marg have their own kind of heart, filling the pages they’re in with love, and amusement. It is the heart of this novel which burns brightest.I can’t wait for the next Anyta Sunday book I can get my hands on, as she has truly made me fall in love with her writing.
