Description
A laugh-out-loud LGBTQ+ romantic comedy from a stellar debut talent.
Life is fraught for fourteen-year-old, zodiac-obsessed Cat. First there's a minor bus-meets-girl accident, then there's a boy-next-door suitor who can't take a hint, but the most desperate disaster of all is Cat's crush on the stunning and poetic Alison Bridgewater.
According to their star charts, Cat and Alison are the perfect match. To which Alison (woe alas!) remains oblivious.
But when the dangerously cool Morgan Delaney wades into the river to save Cat's sketchbook of kissing Disney princesses, she sends Cat's stars spinning.
Can Cat get over her Alison obsession and follow her heart towards Morgan? Or should she exercise caution? After all, Morgan is a Gemini, and if there's one thing Cat's Bible to the Stars has taught her it's that you can never - ever - trust a Gemini...

Person
Freja Nicole Woolf's writing is absolutely not autobiographical. (Except for the bits that are.) She's been writing since school and, at the ueber-ancient age of twenty-four, she finally wrote her debut, Never Trust a Gemini, as a joyful, romantic alternative to the issue-led LGBTQ+ stories she grew up with. She lives in London and aspires to be a Capricorn. Unfortunately, she's a Pisces.
