Knocked Out By My Nunga-Nungas: Confessions of Georgia Nicholson

By Louise Rennison. (173 pgs)
I love this book. This is probably the fourth time I've read it, but it makes me laugh so hard... It's English. British English, that is, and the Brits have a way better sense of humor than us Americans, or as Georgia would call us, her dear friends from Hamburger-a-gogo land. It's actually the third book in a series that has eight books (one just came out!!), and I've heard they're making a movie of them. I am so excited, you can't even believe it.
One of the only downfalls of this book is that it makes me start thinking in a british accent. And then I start using strange British words when I talk. And then people start having absolutely no idea what I'm talking about. I don't know if that's necessarily a bad thing, but it can cause problems when I'm trying to actually get a point across.
Anyways, Georgia finally got her crush, Robbie the Sex God, to ask her to be his official girlfriend. She is oh-so-happy, until this other guy she flirted with, Dave the Laugh, accidentally kisses her. And she accidentally kisses him back. And he's an "item" with Georgia's friend Ellen (thank goodness no one saw that kiss!). So Georgia is just so traumatized by this that she decides to be full of "maturosity" and "sophiticaticatiosity" and show Robbie that she really is his one and only. The book is written completely through diary entries, and I have seriously fallen off my bed laughing it.
Awesome book.
