Product Description

After queuing up at the cakeshop of luuurve for ages, I have accidentally bought two cakes.

And I am sitting in a bush.

Georgia thought her heartbreak-osity troubles were over when Masimo announced that he wanted to be her one and only. But just as she hits Swoon City, Robbie, the original Sex God, shows up. How in the world has Georgia accidentally acquired two Sex Gods?

Before Georgia can decide what to do next, she must figure out what Robbie's intentions are—and if his sudden re-appearance changes her mind about Masimo. And as much as she wants to turn to Dave the Laugh for help, he's another romantic thorn (and prospective snoggee) in her side. Will Georgia ever get off the rack of love once and for all?

Georgia Nicolson, our fabbity-fab friend and true sufferer in luuuuuurve, is back in this eighth installment of the series by Louise Rennison. Since the last book (Startled by His Furry Shorts) left us on a major cliffhanger, this one was most eagerly anticipated, and it did resolve the main issue of Masimo and Robbie. But, oh, the other turns Georgia's life takes!

Set during the last two weeks of term, Georgia finds herself in the delicious scenario of having to choose between Italian Stallion Masimo and Sex God Robbie. You might think this is a good thing, being sought after by two such gorgy porgy guys, but as per usual, things do not go smoothly for Georgia as she feasts on the mucho handsome guys while hanging out with the ace gang, fighting with Mutti and Vati, chasing after Angus and Gordy, keeping Libby out of the airing closet, and hiding from the Baldy-gram uncle. And is there really a choice, since both potential boyfriends seem to not be taking any initiative? Mix in an end of term camping expedition, a few disco infernos, and a bubblegum disco dance and you've Georgia's usual hilarious musings. And just when you think things are going to calm down, who shows up? Dave the Laugh! Is there anyone else besides me who wants Georgia to realize he's the one for her?

This is a good installment, but not my favorite in the series. While there are still plenty of laugh out loud moments, and I particularly love how Georgia vows not to do something and two minutes later, there she is doing it, I do wish we'd move along a bit in the story and I'm beginning to wonder why Jas is even a member of the Ace Gang. Fun, fast reading, but poor Georgia is still left on the rack of pain. Still, it's typical Georgia, and that's never a bad thing. Enjoy!

Same old Georgia! July 4, 2007

Even though I'm well over 30, I started reading Georgia Nicholson's adventures years ago and they're the few books that I regularly buy in hardback. If it were possible to give Angus, Thongs and Full Frontal Snogging seven stars, I would. So I got Love is a Many Trousered Thing as soon as it was published, and read it right away.

If you've read all the books you may have noticed that the time periods are getting shorter and shorter; the sixth book covered two and a half months, the seventh book covered four weeks, and this installment covers just two weeks at the end of Georgia's fourth form (her sophomore year). The only major advancement is a resolution of sorts for the previous book's cliffhanger...to be replaced by the EXACT SAME dilemma at the end of this one. I can't say anything else about the plot because there isn't one, other than her deciding between two potential boyfriends.

As much as I still love Georgia, I really hope that Louise Rennison kick-starts the series again, and Georgia has even more wonderful adventures. The cakes on the rack of luuurve are getting a little stale.

Ohmygiddygodstrousers! What a wonderful installment in my (second) favorite series!
I got into this series because of my intense HP withdrawal between books 4 and 5, and I have yet to be disappointed. There are only two things that keep me from giving it the 5th star, and they are
1) The book is too short! It only covers about two weeks, and the dilemma that she was facing at the end of book 7 is still there (with some minor alterations) at the end of book 8. I won't spoil it for you, so don't freak out.
2) That ugly cover! I know, I know, I shouldn't give in to that particular saying, but I can't help it. If I were just considering this series now instead of 3-4 years ago, I don't think I'd pick it up. It's too girly and odd, it looks like she's going to spend a lot of time moaning about how ugly and unpopular she is, with hardly any laughs. The old art suited the content much better in my opinion.

Final Word: If you're like me and enjoy Python-esque humor, don't be too put off by the ultra-girly design. I had to change my shirt while I was reading it because I shot coffee out my nose from the part about the camping fandango. It's a good read, and I heartily recommend it.

These Georgia books are absolutley marvy. I am an adult and these books have me rolling on the floor laughing. When I come to the end of a book I crave the next one. I recommend this series to all teenagers and all my friends. Louise Rennison is a great and talented writer. I hope this series never ends.

The Georgia Nicolson series is full of hilarious moments and just a really good fun read. Each book in the series just keeps getting better and I can't wait for the ninth in the series!
