Angus, Thongs and Full-frontal Snogging: Confessions of Georgia Nicolson

The first of the series this book introduces us to Georgia Nicolson. Georgia is a pretty standard Brit teen with an embarrassing family, funny friends but no guys in sight. As Georgia tries to figure out the opposite sex she gets stuck with a variety of problems. The guys don’t seem to do anything other than make out (snogging). All this time Georgia tries to catch the eye of the older Sex God, brother of the guy her best friend is in love with.

Told in a diary style I really enjoyed this book. The situations that Georgia gets herself into are quite amusing, although usually more of the embarrassing sort of amusing.  I wanted Georgia to get the Sex God but I have the feeling (being older and wiser then I was at 14) that it will end badly. A very typical British sense of humour is expressed in the book and a helpful glossary is given at the back “for American readers”. I was familiar with some of the terms and the other ones I got used to pretty quickly. There isn’t any message in this book which is great, it is just a fun read. I look forward to checking out other books in the series.
