Amazon.co.uk Review
Georgia, pining for her new wannabe heart throb and Italian-American stallion Masimo, who is currently visiting rellies in the States, is bolstered by the news that she and Mutti and Vati are off to Hamburger-a-gogo land as well. Itll be the perfect opportunity for Georgia to partake of a really long holiday snogathon with the (probable) man of her dreams. Slight problem number one is that Masimo is in New York, and the Nicholsons are headed to Memphis.
But all is not lost. Jas, Georgias bestest mate from the Ace Gang, can go with them and she can help get the two lovebirds together. Slight problem number two is the re-emergence in her life, via letters from Kiwi-a-gogo land, of Robbie the love god. What with Dave the Horn never far away either, the future of Georgias mixed-up love life is reaching a critical, decision-making stage.
Theres no better series of books for teens around at the moment that capture more accurately the trials of life in the hormone-emerging fast lane. Rennison, a stand-up comedienne of some renown, injects each page with the sharpest, wittiest and achingly relevant material there is. It certainly doesnt get any better than this. And its another cliffhanger ending, so expect more marvy confessions soon.
(Age 12 and over) --John McLay

A Note From Georgia:
Dear Chumettes and Chums,
I hope you are all righty as two all righty things. I am, though ONCE AGAIN I am full of exhaustiosity. I have been as busy as a bee (two bees) finishing my latest oeuvre. Oh yes, AND I have been to Hamburger-a-gogo land to see for myself the nation that cannot be bothered to put the "i" in the second half of words...like aluminium, for instance, which those lazy cats spell aluminum. Where would we be if none of us could be bothered to finish off our words properly? I'll tell you where we would be, we would be up shi cree without a padd... that's where.
As you will see, I have reached new heights of sophisticosity in this latest of my oeuvres... boys, lipstick, snogging, snogging, red-bottomosity, jokes about sausages and pants - the list is endless.
I do this only because I love you.
Georgia
P.S. You don't know what oeuvre means, do you?
P.P.S. You think it is French for eggs, don't you? Like oeuf.
P.P.P.S. You think I have been saying that I have just finished writing my new egg.
P.P.P.P.S Look it up in the glossary, you lazy minxes, I am far too tired to explain. I have to go and have a lie down on my snogging emporium (bean bag)... zzzzzzzzzzzz.
