Never Trust a Gemini
Publisher: Walker Books
Cat’s best friend, Zanna, is the only person who knows that she’s in love with dreamy, gorgeous Alison Bridgewater. And she won’t tell.
But life as a 14-year-old closet lesbian is difficult – especially when the people you consider your closest friends are obsessed with boys and inclined to make ‘gay’ jokes. In fact, it gets so complicated that Cat finds herself a boyfriend she doesn’t even slightly fancy just to put her mates off the scent.
So she worships Alison from afar. But when new girl, Morgan Delaney, rescues Cat’s sketchbook from the river, Cat’s feelings and hormones are sent spinning. Could Morgan be her true love? Not according to the Bible to the Stars by which zodiac-mad Cat plans her every move. Morgan is a Gemini and everyone knows they can’t be trusted. But she looks so cool with her cute freckles and green glasses…
This charming, funny romantic comedy about a girl who likes girls is packed with awkward moments, sticky situations and complex characters. Exploring the challenging dynamics of teen friendship groups and the politics of popularity, most 12+ readers, whether gay, straight or non-binary, will see reflections of many of Cat’s experiences in their own lives.
