Will the stars align for romance?
Fourteen-year-old English girl Cathleen Phillips lives and breathes by her astrology book. As an Aquarius, she has checked for her compatible soul mate, and the charts matched her with Alison Bridgewater, one of her friends, who is Ghanaian and White. Since then, she’s been all swoony over Alison—but never out loud, since only best friend Zanna Szczechowska knows she fancies girls. But something Cat knows for sure—you can never trust a Gemini! She also doesn’t trust people with Irish accents since her Irish homeroom teacher seems to have it out for her. But then, a new girl appears at her school: Morgan Delaney is both Irish and a Gemini, not to mention very cute. Cat keeps getting all tongue-tied around her. As the astrological year turns (from Libra’s relationship focus to Capricorn’s emphasis on cleansing), events unfold that leave Cat trying desperately to secure any romantic relationship! Accident-prone and an extremely awkward conversationalist, bubbly, curly blond-haired Cat exudes actively chaotic energy and is obsessed with her idealistic future—which is very much in line with her star sign—so readers should enter this book ready for some classic rom-com shenanigans. Woolf presents her characters sincerely, and the story earns its emotional ups and downs.
Oodles of entertainment.
