I've just finished reading this book and it is so funny! I was laughing all the way through. I can't wait for another one to come out! The ending is good and makes you want to know whats going to happen next! With all the usual charecters, Gee, Jazzy, the lurve & sex god etc it makes it a very believeable story (most of it anyway). Recommended to anyone with a sense of homour!

The thing is, the confessions of Georgia Nicolson makes you laugh, and Im not just talking a little chuckle im talking a good hearty belly laugh. And youll want to quote the book to your friends. Think Adrian Mole but for girls and in the 20th century, as a grown up (nearly, well 26) reading about a teenage girl, it reminds me of all the stupid things I did as a kid,when it came to new bits on my body, realising that boys are fab but not wanting to admit it!!
In Louise Rennisons books she really gets it, and writes it brilliantly.
When you read these books you WILL use allot of Georgia's terms you try not say 'nippy noodles' when its cold!
Get it you wont regret it!

Georgia Nicholson is at it again in the newest installment of Louise Rennison's hilarious series about the trials and tribulations of a lovelorn British high school girl. STARTLED BY HIS FURRY SHORTS does not disappoint readers who have grown to love the quirky Georgia, her eccentric family, and her Ace Gang of best buddies.
As STARTLED opens, our poor heroine finds herself, "On the rack of romance. And also in the oven of luurve." (That's 'love' for those of you who are new to Georgia-speak.) She is waiting to hear from her Italian Stallion almost-boyfriend, to whom she had given an ultimatum. He must either be exclusive to her, or they may never share another romantic evening under the stars together. Needless to say, she's not entirely sure she did the right thing with Masimo. After all, what if he comes back with the wrong answer?
But while Georgia wants the hunky Italian-American to be faithful to her, she's having a little trouble in that department herself. She's not completely over her first love, Robbie, who left her to "snog with marsupials" in New Zealand. And her friend, Dave the Laugh, appears to have a crush on Georgia, but she has no idea how to handle it.
As with the other Georgia Nicholson novels, I found myself laughing out loud as I turned the pages. Everyone in this series is interesting and well crafted. Sure, Georgia herself is shallow, but she's also funny and (usually) kind and easy to relate to. There are even some villains (i.e. Wet Lindsay and Astonishingly Dim Monica) who readers can love to hate.
The glossary at the end of the book was helpful as always in deciphering unfamiliar British terms, although it was often unclear whether these terms were really unique to Britain or if they were just unique to author Louise Rennison's fertile imagination.
Pick up a copy of STARTLED BY HIS FURRY SHORTS and laugh yourself silly.
