There's still time to enter my banned books give away! See the bottom for details!
Today's book hasn't been banned, but other books in the series have been sometimes because the title are too suggestive (On the Bright Side, I'm Now the Girlfriend of a Sex God) or for the baffling accusation of pornographic content (really Menasha WI? Really? Angus, Thongs and Full-Frontal Snogging is porn? Really?)
Also, I got mock-yelled at today by a former co-worker of mine because he reads this blog (HI DAVID!) and even though he's a grown man, I got him hooked on this series, which I find both awesome and hysterical.
Georgia is once again on the rack of love. Masimo wants an answer, Robbie's back in town, and then there's always the Dave the Laugh factor.
I liked this book. Georgia has to deal with some real drama this time--drama she didn't create, and drama she can't control. This book actually made me cry, and not just because I was laughing too hard. Also, Wet Lindsay is back! Hurrah!
Many moons ago, for Weekly Geeks #12, Becky asked me the following questions:
Does it have Dave the Laugh?
Holy Cow, YES!!!!
And how much is he in it?!
A lot. Dave the Laugh fans will rejoice at his starring role in this one!
And how about this one...is Georgia any closer to growing as a character? Or is it the same old, same old?
She does grow, but not a lot. So, she's still loveable shallow crazy Georgia, but in her reactions to these other outside-her-control things in her life, you see she's not the same girl we started reading about.
When it comes to the last page are we back where we started on page one? Georgia confused about boys once again!?
Yes and no. I mean, she's still confused, but things have changed.
I have some spoiler-y thoughts here.

Hopefully you mean hystericaln in the "I can't believe a guy like him liked this book" way, and not in in "call the loony bin" way.. ;)
I guess I like the books because it's so, well, British (I watch more British TV than US TV, I swear...). Also because it's not about stuck up snobs like some of the other series teens read (Gossip Girl, I'm talking to you- I tried reading one book just to see what it was about, and couldn't get halfway through it...I get why teens read books like those like wildfire though..). And it is as funny as all get out. So there :P
