'The queer rom com I've been waiting for' Laura Kay
'Literary crack. I am so on board it hurts' Leena Norms
Georgina has a strict routine:
1) teach piano to bored children
2) schedule dates with long-term boyfriend
3) repeat until dead
Perfect.
But then, one wild night, she auditions for a lesbian pop band and realises:
1) she longs to play her own music
2) she wants to be just like them
3) she has a huge crush on their female drummer...
Realising she might like girls as well as boys, Georgina – and her schedule – are in chaos. Torn between the safety of her old life, and the freedom of a new one, she does what any rational person would do. She splits herself in two. After all, two lives are twice the fun... right?
