    About this audiobook

    11.20 a.m.
    This is my fabulous life: the Sex God left for Whakatane last month and he has taken my heart with him.
    11.25 a.m.
    Not literally of course otherwise there would be a big hole in my nunga-nungas.
    11.28 a.m.
    And also I would be dead. Which quite frankly would be a blessing in disguise.
    12.00 p.m.
    It is soooo boring being brokenhearted…

    …but Georgia doesn't remain brokenhearted for long: frequent snogging extravaganzas with old flame, Dave the Laugh, and the arrival of jelloid-knee-inducing Italian Stallion, Masimo, mean Georgia has her work cut out to be the composed sex-kitten that she aspires to be.

    Follow Georgia's hilarious antics as she desperately muddles her way through teenage life and all that it entails: make-up disasters, rapidly expanding nunga-nungas, school – urgh, unsympathetic friends, highly embarrassing family (and pets) and, of course, BOYS.

      Again, I love this series.
    • 5/5
      it is hilarious
    • 4/5
      I have read the books before this one and I still think "Angus, Thongs and Full Frontal Snogging" is the best and made me laugh the most but I still laughed a few times reading this one. I found it to get better and more interesting as it went along. I think the Georgia Nicolson books are perfect light kind of reading, when I don't feel like reading something with a serious plot. Georgia's original & interesting personality is still very apparent in this book and I haven't gotten tired of it. Just bought the next two books in paperback =)
    • 3/5
      Further humorous adventures of Georgia Nicolson.
    • 5/5
      This is such a delightful series! My only complaint is that as soon as I finish reading one, I want to read the next one immediately!
    • 4/5
      I didn't know what was going to happen next so it was very surprising. Humorus, I would recomend this book.
    • 5/5
      This is a very charming comedy novel for pre-teens. Ms. Georgia Nicolson (the books main character) may hail from Great Britain, but her problems are universally shared by almost every other adolescent girl in the world. Dealing with fickle boys, embarassing parents, a mad little sister, and a psycho cat isn't easy, but Georgia handles it all with amazing sophistocosity (or so she thinks). A great book for young people about to enter the troubling time of teenager-dom.
    • 5/5
      I cant say too much with out telling you the plot, although I can asure you its just a wonderful as the rest of the seris.
    • 5/5
      All good taste out the window, I just love these silly little books for pure frivolity.
    • 4/5
      This is the fifth in the series of Georgia Nicolson books, and I noticed this one took me a lot longer to read than other books in the series. There were less funny parts and it seemed more parts that were trying to be funny. But this is still a really great book about friendship - even though Georgia spends a lot of time trying to find her next boy catch, she is all about her friends. She has one friend who she fights with constantly, but they make up within an hour because they can't stand to not talk. So this is a cute series. But I do think it's lower level because it's pretty simplistic, except for the British slang which might confuse younger readers.
    • 4/5
      With the cat away, the mice will play. Now that the Sex God aka Robbie is away in Kiwi-a-gogo land, Georgia has set her sights on a new vespa riding italian boy, Masimo. As usual, Georgia makes an idiot of herself trying to get the new boys attention which will bring laughs to all readers.
    • 3/5
      I happen to lurv Georgia Nicolson!
    • 4/5
      I love these books. Rennison has created such a distinct voice in Georgia Nicolson. It amazes me how quirky and yet consistent she has made the speech patterns and behavior of the characters throughout this series of novels. Even Angus the cat has maintained the same crazy personality since book one. Another thing that I love about these books is that the plot is so slow. The period of time that a book covers is sometimes not more than weeks but yet in the lives of these teenagers epic things are happening every day and the pacing that Rennison uses really reflects perfectly how time felt to me as a teenager.This fifth novel of the series reads every bit as fresh and fun as the four that preceded it.
    • 4/5
      This series is fantastic, super funny and quick to read.
    • 4/5
      I had trouble getting into this book at first, so I put it back on my shelf for another time. I'm glad I gave it another try, though, because this book turned out to be absolutely hilarious. I found myself laughing out loud on more than one occasion. I definitely recommend this book!
    • 4/5
      Fun, funny, silly, and tres amusant, this fifth installment of the Confessions of Georgia Nicolson just keeps being the same amount of fun. I was going to say that it keeps getting better, but that's not exactly true. It gets a little bit more unbelievable, as apparently no matter how much weird stuff Georgia does or says, people in her life still seem to adore her, especially boys. It has been my experience that the average-looking, funny girl (no matter what the size of her nunga-nungas, does not manage to capture the interest of not one, but two, highly-sought after, Sex Goddy, lead singer(s) of a popular band, and Dave the Laugh as well. Possibly, however; these things do happen in England. In that case, I wish to go back in time and force my parents to move to Brighton or some other quaint British town. Still, so much fun to read, and I will be waiting with baited breath for the next volume.
    • 5/5
      The Georgia Nicolson Series by Louise Rennison is one of my favorite series of all time. The first book in the series is called Angus, Thongs, and Full Frontal Snogging, this book will keep you laughing at every turn. The first time I remember reading on the back “Do not read in public, you will laugh out loud” or something like that, yet I still read it in school, and ended up making a fool of myself.
    • 4/5
      With the Sex God away in Kiwi-a goo-goo land snogging marsupials and only writing to Georgia about thermal activity, Georgia is fully into her sadosity phase. That is until the new gorgy singer for the Stiff Dylans shows up. Suffering from a flash return of red bottomisity Georgia pulls out all the stops to snare the Sex Meister. Unfortunately this includes having her eyelids accidentally glue together with her boy entrancers at a most inopportune moment. Lucky for Georgia she always can turn to her Master of the Horn instructor, Dave the Laugh for a bit of advice (and a happy round of snogging).The more I read of Georgia Nicolson's adventures the more I find myself chuckling. Coincidentally I have recently found myself involved in discussions of Wuthering Heights which Georgia fondly referrs to as Blithering Heights when it becomes her assigned reading. Perhaps it is a sign that I should expand my reading base to classics as well. Cosmic analogies aside I thoroughly enjoyed this story and am anxious to see what will happen to Georgia when she reaches Hamburger-a-goo-goo land and tries to track down Masimo in the next book.
    • 4/5
      #5 in the continuing saga of Georgia Nicolson. Yes, they're starting to lose their initial appeal after this long into the series, but they're fun for a very quick read. And I'll probably continue on with #6, as Georgia prepares to bombard America....!
    • 4/5
      Robbie has left for Kiwi-a-gogo-land, and Georgia knows she'll never be happy again. At least, until the new lead singer for the Stiff Dylans, Masimo, otherwise known as the Italian Stallion, lands. Oo-er.
    • 4/5
      This was my first experience in the world of Georgia Nicolson, and I absolutely loved it!Georgia and her friends have a unique way of speaking; a curious mix of slang, a dash of francais, and some phrases that even require a glossary at the end as some of them were created specifically by Georgia and the "ace gang."This is the fifth book in a series of novels written in the style of Georgia's diary as we experience her daily life through her eyes. Along with Georgia and her friends' lives, she is also documenting the life of the family cat, Angus, and all his wild antics. Apparently, in previous books, Angus has found himself a lady love and now there are kittens in the mix. Along with good old Angus, we meet his son, Gordy, cross-eyed and just as crazy as his father.The best way to describe Georgia's family would be kooky, especially the way she describes them, but how accurate is a teen girl's impression of her parents? Still, it makes for some fun reading. We see Georgia dealing with family, cats, her friends, and of course boys, the great mystery to the teen girl. As of this book, Georgia has just lost her first steady boyfriend to the call of the kiwi (he is off in New Zealand) and is in a bit of a funk. That funk lasts just long enough for her favorite band to find a new lead singer, an Italian-American lad named Masimo.From there, as Georgia would say, things become vair vair amusent.
