Had I been 14 years old and read the book, I would've loved the plot. She's mean to her friends (and Jas is mean to her back.unless the author was going for subtle undertones of a commentary on teenage female friendships.but I really don't think she was!) the language she uses is language I never used and the kids I work with don't use.it did seem like upper-middle class slang to be honest. Maybe it's because our protagonist is 14 and I'm.really not, but in all honesty Georgia did come across as a bit of a bitch. To be honest, this book wasn't as good as I hoped it was going to be. I thought she'd run right through the fence with the momentum of her "bosoomers," as Jas so amusingly calls them." She certainly is when she tries to run for the ball.

The insanity and hilarity that is Georgia Nicholson greatly influenced my adolescent years. I remember her saying, "If you don't get these books, I will!" I raised my eyebrow and gently flicked through the pages as if I were reading Playboy in church. On the Bright Side, I'm Now the Girlfriend of a Sex God was in my mom's other hand.īeing a fairly innocent twelve-year-old, having my mother recommend a book with the word "SEX" in the title was absolutely horrifying, especially in public. I remember scanning the shelves in the bookstore for a good mystery novel in the young adult section when my mom excitedly lunged towards me with this book. Angus, Thongs and Full Frontal Snogging was first picked up by my mother.
