Angus, Thongs, and Full Frontal Snogging

This is the first book in the series "Confessions of Georgia Nicholson" by Louise Rennison. I have nothing bad to say about it. It is the funniest book I have ever read in my life. And I've read a lot of funny books.

Summary: Georgia is 14 and in love with a Sex God (aka SG, aka Robbie) who she has no chance with. The story follows her wanting to date Robbie, as she learns how to kiss, starts to date, and interacts with her friends and family.

Other: The book is British, but includes a glossary in the back for Americans who don't understand British slang. I didn't look up words, but read the glossary straight, because it was just as much of a laugh as the rest of the book.

Favorite parts:
1. Georgia dresses up as a stuffed olive for a fancy dress party.
2. When Georgia's mom comes in to talk to her about why she is depressed. ("Is there anything you'd like to talk about?" "Yes, suicide." Georgia is so overly dramatic it's brilliant!)
3. The breast fondling incident.
