She has a precocious 3-year-old sister who tends to leave wet nappies at the foot of her bed, an insane cat who is prone to leg-shredding "Call of the Wild" episodes, and embarrassing parents who make her want to escape to Stonehenge and dance with the Druids. No wonder 14-year-old Georgia Nicolson laments, "Honestly, what is the point?" A Bridget Jones for the younger set, Georgia records the momentous events of her life--and they are all momentous--in her diary, which serves as a truly hilarious account of what it means to be a modern girl on the cusp of womanhood.
My rating: 5 stars
My review: I read these books recently and thought, "This is my prep school life in a nutshell." Hiking up skirts when around the boys, the gym teacher who may or may not be a lesbian, adventures with tweezers, etc. It's one of the funniest books I've ever read. It's also one of the few "clean" books for teenagers (the girls aren't having sex, taking drugs, etc.) which is nice for a change.
