Product Description
Time to gird the loins and pucker up. Blimey O'Reilly's trousers! Three maybe-boyfriends is a lot for any girl to handle?red-bottomed or not. What with Robbie the Sex God back from Kiwi-a-gogo land wanting to "get coffee" and whatsit, Masimo the Luuurve God saying things like "Ciao, Georgia, see you later" (the good see-you-later or the bad see-you-later??), and her mate Dave the Laugh snogging her in a pond, it's enough to make any girl mad. Good thing she has the ace gang to keep her sane. Ish. But now that she has tearfully eschewed Robbie the Sex God with a firm hand, Georgia is left with two potential snoggees to choose from, and it's high time she left the cakeshop of love for good. This time with a gorgey Italian cakey. Or a nip-libbling Dave the Tart. But certainly not both. Maybe.

Fun Read for Young & Not So Young Women! August 22, 2008
Ok, so this is a young adult book, but I'm the mother of a teen, and I loved it! My daughter laughed out loud so often while she was reading, that I just had to read it, too. Though neither of us have read any of the author's other works, we're both planning on getting more. The main character is easy to identify with, and she's just so bubbly and fun that you can't help but love her and her antics.
Another home run August 22, 2008
Rennison has done it again with a nother hilarious book. Her writing is so crazily refreshing and honest. This series keeps me laughing out loud at the antics and descriptions.
I think she has done a great job of getting into the head of a teenager and all the psychodrama of her life--especially how melodramtic dating can be. This is like Bridget Jones for teenagers.
 mabye if I was a tenager... August 22, 2008
I had not read the other Georgia books so I was a little lost in the beginning. The dictonary in the back help with some of the terms she uses which can get very confusing.
I think I am just too old for this book. I can't remeber being like this as a teenager and can not relate to Georgia.
By the end I felt for her but was glad it was over.
 you have to enjoy that style of writing August 22, 2008
I did not enjoy the diary style of writing and though there is a lexicon to understand the british idioms and expressions, it's hard to follow and seems to me targeted at a very juvenile audience.
Forced humorosity August 20, 2008
2 out of 3 found this review helpful
This is the ninth book in the series Confessions of Georgia Nicolson, so faithful readers know what they're getting. As for me, I haven't read the earlier books (which doesn't help), I'm 48 (the series is aimed at teens), and I'm familiar with Bridget Jones's Diary (I think the author is, too).
The humor seems forced, packed with British slang and silly wordplay. Luuurve for love, vair for very, adding -osity and -io to the end of words willy nilly. "I said in a casualosity at all times sort of way, `Ah well, I'm glad you asked me that. Because suspicionosity is the enemy of friendshipnosity."
It's all a little much, but then again I'm not the target for this book. Teenage girls might love it.
Here's the chapter list; there is no table of contents:
1. Deep in the forest of red bottomosity
2. Once more into the huffmobile
3. Turbulent washing machine of love
4. Viking hornpipes a-gogo
5. Big furry paw of fate
6. Why can't everyone just speak English?
7. Hark, what owl through yonder window breaks
8. Fisticuffs at dawn
9. Groove on, groovsters! (dance moves)
