Generally I like to start out with a disclaimer. I am an contemporary witch. I look for the connection between magic and science without the need to search for a creator. I receive no compensation for these reviews and all my links are standard Amazon links and not affiliate links. I am a practicing photo reader and have spent the last 16 years honing my craft. I offer personal readings by request and have a strong online history that boasts nearly 400,000 views.
I'm going to start with a review of the physical book. Overall this is a nice sized book. I like that I could easily toss this into a purse or backpack. I received a hard cover to review. It did not have a dust jacket but the cover is vibrant and had a formed spine and raised lettering for the title. The book is printed with blue ink and the pages are smooth to the touch. Over all a great book to hold in your hands. The book includes a friendship compatibility test at the beginning and and offers a decent sized index in the back.
Each sign is listed in the book with a sign by sign comparison. I noticed quickly how the author switched pronouns based on which sign they were discussing. Pisces and Virgo was female for example and Leo and Libra are male. While this is a small thing, I quickly went to the release date on the book and saw that it was this year. I would love to see authors start using gender-less pronouns when possible. Because we know that signs apply across the board to all people, using they and them would be perfectly acceptable in this book. That being said over all it is a really well written book.
Each chapter is divided by the signs with a brief description of each sign. Virgo as the perfectionist and the doer and Pisces as the dreamer and the healer, for example. The author describes each signs quirks and preferences before offering a compatibility chart that outlines how each sign directly interacts. I found the piece on Aquarius and Pisces to be quite accurate.
In comparing the descriptions for Pisces and Virgo vs. the one for Virgo and Pisces the author could have just copied them over however there is a subtle difference for each sign. The descriptions are on point, in my opinion and offer a unique insight into not only revealing what you already knew about your best friend, but also a look at opening doors and becoming more compatible with our celestial counterparts.
Overall this is a great book for the beginner and the seasoned HUMAN, yes, I said human here as we already know that non-magical people are the biggest consumers of this type of content. Its an easy read and a great way to spend the afternoon with a friend, comparing and contrasting what the stars have to say about our BFFs.

Pisces and AquariusEach sign's inherent uniqueness and love for deep spiritual discussions will help cement the friends ship between Pisces and Aquarius. The both admin and accept the others' eccentricities and the joy working together on charity projects.
