Angus, thongs and full-frontal snogging (Confessions of Georgia Nicolson, #1)

by Louise Rennison

Angus, Thongs and Full-Frontal Snogging is one of those books that makes your happiness meter rocket sky high!

This book is freaking HILARIOUS. After a few seconds of reading Angus, Thongs and Full-Frontal Snogging, I started laughing out loud, a really unattractive sort-of laugh. Georgia, the main character, gets herself into the most awkward and embarrassing situations and the way in which these situations play out, makes the book one of the most amusing reads that I have ever read.

Angus, Thongs and Full-Frontal Snogging was a book that I connected with in almost every kind of way. Georgia goes to an all girl's school and I go one too. (Side note: All girl schools need to represented more in YA Fiction). Georgia's "voice" and POV felt extremely similar to my "voice" or the way in which I think about everyday things. Her voice is to the point, but it's also random. She thinks about things that seem extremely way out in her current situations, but at it also makes sense at the same time. When I read this book, I was reminded not of the things that I do, but mostly the way in which I think. This basically made the whole entire book amazing!

While I was able to connect with Georgia's voice, I wasn't able to fully connect with her character. Sometimes, I would shake my head at the things that she decided to do and I wouldn't understand her reasoning or justification behind her decisions. Most of the time it felt as though she was whiny, selfish, vain and self-centered, but because it is written as a diary entry and because Georgia is 14/15 years old, I understood it in a twisted kind-of way, but I still didn't like it.

Angus, Thongs and Full-Frontal Snogging struck a chord in me! It was a comical book that was easy to connect with. I seriously recommend this book to everybody who wants a silly, light-hearted book that will make them feel happy!
