Newly 15-year-old Cat really wants her new girlfriend, Morgan, to get along with her friends, but they\u2019re just not gelling. English Cat is part of the fashion-conscious, makeup-wearing group surrounding her school\u2019s queen bee, Siobhan, while Irish Morgan hangs with an edgier, goth-leaning cohort. To make matters worse, Morgan and Siobhan are both running for head girl. The competition gets fierce, and to avoid favoring one person over the other, Cat auditions for the school play, Romeo and Juliet\u2014and lands the lead! Now she\u2019ll be too busy to help out with any campaigns. Meanwhile, Cat\u2019s best friend, the Polish Zanna, is acting weird\u2014it seems like she doesn\u2019t want to listen to Cat\u2019s many woes. What\u2019s up with that? This sequel to 2023\u2019s Never Trust a Gemini, which traverses the zodiac calendar from the self-focused Aquarius to the grounded Taurus, allows for solid character development while still delivering plenty of farcical rom-com antics. Cat and Morgan\u2019s relationship remains strong, despite various elements attempting to foil them, which is sweet and refreshing. Cat\u2019s narration (and much of the dialogue) is still chock-full of slang as well as her own hilarious coinages (she\u2019s fond of invoking Aphrodite and exclaiming \u201cgooseberries!\u201d), and her chatty style will draw readers in. Woolf\u2019s sophomore novel firmly establishes her as a young adult author to watch.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
