About This Book
Reach for this book when your teenager is struggling to balance competing loyalties between different friend groups or feeling the intense pressure of people-pleasing. It speaks directly to the 'social fatigue' that comes with trying to keep everyone happy while navigating a new romantic relationship. The story follows Cat Phillips, a zodiac-obsessed teen who finds herself in the middle of a feud between her girlfriend's friends and her own besties. Through humor and relatable mishaps, the book explores how to maintain your own identity and voice when your social world feels like it is splitting apart. It is a lighthearted yet emotionally resonant look at queer joy, social anxiety, and the messy process of setting boundaries in high school. Parents will appreciate the way it addresses accountability and the realization that we cannot always blame the stars for our own choices. It is best suited for readers ages 12 and up who enjoy voice-driven contemporary fiction.
