Review Detail

Reader reviewed by Adriana M.

This reminded me of "Gert Garibaldi's Rants and Raves" (Kizer) and another one I read, "My mother is a french fry and further proof of my fuzzed up life" (Sydor), but I think this is the original.

Georgia is a british teen whose parents don't get her and whose friends are trying to cope with crushes, their teachers, and having to wear berets at school. Even with all the british lingo, I really enjoyed it. I found myself laughing out loud more than once. There is plenty of wit and humor, mixed in with the teenage angst and those feelings of wanting to fit in and get the guy. I had heard they made the book into a film, so I'll be trying to watch that soon. For now I will be starting the second in the series. It's a well-written, funny, and light-hearted read.
