Georgina is a sensible 26-year-old with a routine: 1) schedule dates with long-term boyfriend, 2) teach piano to inept children, and 3) repeat until dead. Perfect.
But when one night she deviates from her usual timetable and sees the indie lesbian pop band Phase, Georgina realises: 1) she longs to play her own music again, 2) she wants to be just like them, and 3) their drummer is really hot...
Scared of losing her happy straight life, but feeling a new sense of belonging in the gay scene, she does what any rational person would do: she splits herself in two. She'll be Gina by day, George by night. It's going to take painstaking scheduling, a versatile wardrobe, and an ambiguous haircut, but maybe Georgina really can have both?
I have seen a lot of negative reviews for this book but I really enjoyed it. We follow Georgina's two personas Gina and George as she handles the identity crisis of coming out as bisexual. I'd recommend giving this book a read as it is fun to read and will make an enjoyable summer read. Such an insightful book.
Rating 4/5
