Blame My Virgo Moon - (Never Trust a Gemini) by Freja Nicole Woolf

Book Synopsis

Shakespeare's Juliet has it easy compared to zodiac-obsessed Cat as she balances feuding friend groups, a school play, a fledgling romance, and her clumsy self in this delightful follow-up to Never Trust a Gemini.

Life should be Gucci gooseberry gorgeous for Cat Phillips now that she's got the girl: swoon-worthy, green-haired Morgan Delaney. Except Cat's friends aren't too keen on Morgan, and Morgan's friends aren't quite rolling out the welcome mat for Cat either. When Morgan takes on queen bee Siobhan for the highly contested spot of Head Girl, Cat would rather pluck out her eyelashes than pick a side, which is how she ends up accidentally auditioning for the school production of Romeo and Juliet . . . and landing the starring role opposite Morgan's new no-good friend, Brooke the Crook. And as if things couldn't be more of a Marie Antionette Baking Brownies level disaster, Cat's Sagittarius bestie, Zanna, isn't talking to her anymore. Merciful Sappho! As Cat trips over herself to keep her relationships intact (and learn her lines), she begins to realize that maybe not all of her problems can be blamed on her Virgo moon in this hilarious, heartfelt comedy of errors told in an uber-unique voice.
