Confessions of Georgia Nicolson- Louise Rennison


            I read this series when I had an intense English class filled with big, adult-type literature, and I grabbed this in order to have a fun book series to contrast with what I was reading at the time.  Fun is the best way to describe this series.
            The series starts with Angus, Thongs, and Full-Frontal Snogging, and ends with Are These My Basoomas I See Before Me?, which should give readers some idea of the fun and flirty adventure they will travel on.  Readers will follow the life of British teen, Georgia Nicholson, and hear about her every day life, her friends, which she titles “the Ace Gang”, her love interests, and her hopelessly uncool family.   For anyone unfamiliar, or simply incredibly interested (myself), in the British slang all the cool kids are using, the back of each book contains a dictionary for anything in the book deemed foreign to American readers.  This was the first thing I read when I started each book, and I found it fun each time.
            This in not necessarily a book for those looking for some challenging reading material.  It would, however, be wonderful for anyone reading for the joy of reading.  It’s fun, it’s quick, and it’s interesting.  It’s definitely a young adult book though, filled with obsessions over make-up and confusion over boys.
            I would be happy to recommend this to anyone who wants to have a good time through young adult literature.
