Angus, Thongs and Full-Frontal Snogging: Confessions of Georgia Nicolson Author:Louise Rennison
Book Description:
Angus:
My mixed-breed cat, half domestic tabby, half Scottish wildcat. The size of a small Labrador, only mad.
Thongs:
Stupid underwear. What's the point of them, anyway? They just go up your bum, as far as I can tell.
Full-Frontal Snogging:
Kissing with all the trimmings, lip to lip, open mouth, tongues ... everything.
Her dad's got the mentality of a Teletubby (only not so developed). Her cat, Angus, is trying to eat the poodle next door. And her best friend thinks she looks like an alien -- just because she accidentally shaved off her eyebrows. Ergghhhlack. Still, add a little boy-stalking, teacher-baiting, and full-frontal snogging with a Sex God, and Georgia's year just might turn out to be the most fabbitty fab fab ever!

Book 1 of the series. Class clown humor that made me snort unexpectedly a few times. Written as diary entries from the POV of a british schoolgirl. Georgia always seems to be surrounded by the weirdest people - her cat (Angus) is the size of a small pony and eats floor mats and terrorizes the neighbor's dog, her little sister hides her diapers in Georgia's bed, and her grandfather just speaks in non sequiturs (and that's just her family). Her best friend Jas is sometimes not the brightest girl and sarcasm just gets past her and the rest of the girls are similarly amusing. Georgia herself is rather silly - obssessed with certain features like her eyebrows (she shaved them off by mistake), her nose, her hair. Last but certainly not least is of course all the boys - particularly an older boy Georgia calls Sex God who Georgia is always trying to date. A fast read and not meant to be a serious book. A lot of british slang is used in the books, which some people may find annoying (I didn't), but there is a glossary at the end of the book which is amusing in itself to help. Fun!

Really funny--sort of a girl's Secret Diary of Adrian Mole Aged 13¾ or a YA Bridget Jones's Diary. Followed by That’s OK, I'm Wearing Really Big Knickers (US title: On the Bright Side, I'm Now the Girlfriend of a Sex God), Knocked Out by My Nunga-Nungas, Dancing in My Nuddy-Pants, and And That's When It Fell Off in My Hand (US title: Away Laughing on a Fast Camel). Confessions of Georgia Nicolson is an omnibus of the first two books; Further Confessions of Georgia Nicolson is an omnibus of the 3rd & 4th books. Read more at http://www.georgianicolson.com

Bridget JOnes for young teens. It really is strikingly similar. Just without the bleeding irritating weight obsession. :)

Told in diary form, this is a cute, quick read about a British teen and her dramatic experiences with her best friends, her boyfriend, and her crazy cat Angus.

I stumbled onto this book and I am glad I did. I loved the diary style of this book. A word of caution, the author is English and writes in the English language which differs from American. She does provide a glossary at the back of the book.

Although the book is intended for a much younger audience than myself, I couldn't resist the title. Georgia's life is one hot mess and she tells her stories with the desperation only teenaged girls can muster. I drew quite a few raised eyebrows reading this one in public because I could not stop laughing. The glossary of British words and slang really puts it over the top.

This book is especially a good read for teenage girls. It's about a teenage girl, what she goes through with friends, boys, etc. It's funny and so is the language. The book is in good condition too.
