Georgia and her pack of best friends (the Ace Gang) all go to the same girl’s school where they torment their teachers and hide from nasty older girls. They all share their small quarters with Angus, a mostly-feral Scottish wild cat that followed them home from a vacation and never left. Fads change but they do not! Georgia lives with her working-class family: mom has a full-time job, dad is desperately searching for work in an inhospitable climate, and her toddler sister Libby is a madwoman. I haven’t been a teen in a while, but I still work with them. Teenagers are ridiculous, and why wouldn’t they be? They have very little control over the world around them, so why wouldn’t they be desperate to control the things that are mostly in their power, like how they dress and what kind of mascara they like best.

She’s silly, over-the-top, the class clown, and so very vain- and I mean none of these statements in jest or in criticism. The first entry in the series introduces us to the 14-year-old version of Bridget Jones, Georgia Nicholson. I thought that revisiting this series would be a nice warm bath (a bath full of glitter, disco, false noses, and wild but lovable cats) after days spent working and fretting.Īngus, Thongs, and Full Frontal Snogging (2000) As we all know, 2020 has been a disaster. Louise Rennison passed away suddenly in 2016, and I had been meaning to giver Georgia and the gang another go-round ever since. I had the first few books in hardback until several moves ago, and any others in the series were either loaned out of left behind.

Angus, Thongs, and Full Frontal Snogging kicked off the series back in 2000, and the series came to an end in 2009.

I read them initially as they came out, what with being a ridiculously over the top teen girl in the early aughts, and loved every second that I spent with Georgia and the Ace Gang. A few weeks back I was a few drinks in and thought it would be an excellent idea to order the entire 10-book Confessions of Georgia Nicholson series.
