Review
This book was an odd experience for me, and I find myself vacillating between a 3 and 4 star rating. Officially, Gemini Tiger gets a 3 1/2. And, yes, I said odd experience. Now that I think about it, it's an odd experience perfectly in line with the Gemini nature of the main character, Cress. Cress is a single mom who is dating 2 men and flirting with a few more. She loves astrology, and there are snippets of her favorite astrology book starting out the chapters. The book snippets go a long way in explaining her world view, and this is where it gets odd... I can't really identify with Cress at all. In fact, I find her actions puzzling and sometimes downright abhorrent. Yet I ended up cheering for her and reading along to see what she did next.Likewise, the plot. Not much really happens. A lot of it involves Cress's day-to-day interactions and the main dilemma really didn't seem like a big deal to me. Still, I found this book strangely compelling.Read Gemini Tiger if you have quirky tastes. It's like one of those microbrewery artisan beers where you keep drinking because you're not sure you like it and think you'll figure it out on the next sip. Before you know it, the glass is empty and you're still not sure. So maybe you'll have another...
