Georgia is selfish, of course, but not in an off putting matter. Ok, so nothing here is life changing or forever memorable – it’s fun. This book just might make me change my mind about YA. Apparently, this series is recommended for eleven and up (so embarrassing!) and I tried diligently to be superior, but finally gave up, gave in, and laughed out loud as the charming Georgia confesses all.
Prowling through Amazon’s Kindle section late one night, I saw the series again, and in a fit of nostalgia and latent rebellion, I picked up the first book. But I didn’t have the guts, or free wheels to a local B&N. I was awfully curious (I saw the title of the second in the series – My Boyfriend is a Sex-God – or something of that sort.) It had the word sex in it, and as a pre-teen that instantly made it seem naughty and like an awfully great read. Rarely a reader of YA, I recall when this book came out. Growing into womanhood means all sorts of curiosities – like how to snog properly and what is the purpose of thongs? Meanwhile, still in childhood, everything is a major drama and Georgia just must write it all down, sharing an endearing and hilarious collection of diary entries that will keep readers laughing and, shudder, remembering our own teenage years. Boys, Makeup, and Growing Up – A Comical YA Treasureįourteen-year-old Georgia Nicolson is having an especially difficult year with all manner of misfortunes: she accidentally shaved off her eyebrows she’s in love with a Sex God who has a girlfriend her half Scottish wildcat, Angus, just might have eaten one of the neighbors’ pets her three-year-old sister has a penchant to respond to nature’s calls in the corners of Georgia’s room her parents are simply a colossal emotional embarrassment, and mum just might be shagging the handyman her best friend’s romantic life is, yawn, such a bore and worst of all, in a secret all-girls ballet, she scored low beauty points for a gigantic nose.
