Turner Publishing Company Love From the Cosmos New edition

Love From the Cosmos is a BIPOC romantic comedy in which a plus-sized Nigerian woman receives a terrible partner through an astrology-based dating app and, after filing a scathing complaint, must decide if she’ll follow her carefully-constructed plan to find love with the best app on the market or let herself fall for her very-much-not-part-of-the-plan coach, who also just happens to be a god. Beautiful, smart, and determined Moyo Adegbite has it all...almost.As a Boston-based Pediatrician, she’s made her parents back in Lagos proud. Now, she’s ready for true love.To avoid dating all the duds in Boston, Moyo’s research led her to devise a foolproof plan: Join Cupid's Bow, the popular astrology dating app that uses birth charts to match soulmates with a 99 percent success rate. And the app works until it doesn’t. After discovering the infidelity of a Cupid’s Bow match, Moyo goes on a booze-fueled rant against the app’s creators, filing an irate complaint slamming the planet responsible for her love life—the god, Saturn.Niyi Bankole was reluctantly named Saturn, and now he’s saddled with a position at Cupid’s Bow, the family business, as one of three matchmakers. But Niyi quickly learns he’s unequipped to be a god. Leaning into his science background to hide his incompetence, Niyi writes an algorithm that seems to work for clients...until Moyo’s complaint triggers damage control. Now, Moyo is contracted to receive a dating coach to walk her through three Cupid’s Bow–assigned dates. Eager to clean up his mess and (secretly) fine-tune his algorithm, Niyi offers to be Moyo’s dating coach.As they work together, will Moyo find love through the algorithm, as she and Niyi planned, or will she get swept up in one of Saturn’s rings? Beautiful, smart, and determined Moyo Adegbite has it all...almost.As a Boston-based Pediatrician, she’s made her parents back in Lagos proud. Plus, immigrating to the US alongside her two ride-or-die besties means she’s accomplished, respected, and ready to party with her girls anytime she’s not serving her community.Now, she’s ready for true love.To avoid dating all the duds in Boston and souring off love completely, Moyo’s research led her to devise a foolproof plan: Join Cupid's Bow, the popular astrology dating app that uses birth charts to match soulmates with a 99 percent success rate. And the app works until it doesn’t. After discovering the infidelity of a Cupid’s Bow match, Moyo goes on a booze-fueled rant against the app’s creators, filing an irate complaint slamming the planet responsible for her love life—the god, Saturn.Opposed to his birthright, and habitually swapping astrology texts for science textbooks, Niyi Bankole’s mother’s passing and workaholic father’s abrupt retirement leave him as the successor to Saturn’s seat with no way out. Reluctantly named Saturn, he’s saddled with a position at family business, Cupid’s Bow, as one of three matchmakers.But at Cupid’s Bow HQ, Niyi quickly learns he’s unequipped to be a god.

Eager to clean up his mess and (secretly) fine-tune his algorithm, Niyi offers to be Moyo’s dating coach.Defensive Moyo surprises herself by finding her ironclad plan to avoid emotion and trust science weakens once she meets handsome Niyi. Similarly, Niyi’s attraction to Moyo puts his algorithm at risk as he can’t help stepping in and wooing the client himself—no matter how hard he tries not to.As they work together, will Moyo find love through the algorithm, as she and Niyi planned, or will she get swept up in one of Saturn’s rings?
