 Twins Mara and Owen sometimes feel like they’re two halves of the same person. The constellation Gemini, personified. They’re as close as two people can get… until Owen’s girlfriend Hannah accuses Owen of rape. Mara is shaken: this doesn’t feel like the Owen she knows. But the more Mara hears about that night, the more she’s convinced Hannah is telling the truth. Less convinced: Mara’s parents, who refuse to believe the allegations against their son are true. Defending Hannah may cause an irreparable rift in her family, but Mara has a personal connection with sexual assault that she hasn’t told anyone, and this long-buried trauma is quickly rising to the surface.  (Georgia Peach Book Award, 2020)
