This seventh installment in the series finds Georgia Nicolson on her way to “the cakeshop of agony” yet again as she worries over whether Massimo will agree to be her one and only. This book lacks the freshness of the series opener (Angus, Thongs, and Full-Frontal Snogging) and feels a bit like the same one we’ve read seven times now as Georgia struggles with the usual predicaments: embarrassing parents, school woes, appearance anxiety, and of course, boy trouble. Nevertheless, dedicated fans of

In the seventh installment of the Confessions of Georgia Nicolson series, Georgia anxiously awaits Masimo's answer to whether he wants to be exclusive with Georgia. In the meantime, she finds herself falling for Dave the Laugh though can't admit it. And in the end, without trying to spoil anything, she gets a surprise visit from someone from her past.

Georgia is living in the Cake Shop of Aggers after telling Italian stallion, Masimo that she wants to be his only one and only. Normally this would mean plenty of hilariosity as Georgia wallows in her misery but there was something lacking for me. I'm not quite sure what it was but I think it's the same thing that was missing in 'Dancing In My Nuddy-Pants'.

Except for the first Confessions of Georgia Nicolson (#1) - I think this book was BY FAR one of my favorites in the whole series! I couldn't put it down! Georgia had a lot more going on with Massimo and then Robbie and Dave the Laugh - but I think it was the fact that Georgia actually started "talking" with her mother about her boy issues, that really made the book come alive for me. Until this copy, all the others have been mocking her parents (typical teenager) and just more of a per

As always, I liked this book. Louise Rennison manages to create an amazing, if slightly annoying, heroine who even I feel sorry for because of her bonkers life.
In this installment, the seventh, of Georgia's hilarious diaries, Georgia has recently asked the Itallion Stallion, whether he would like to be her boyfriend. It's mainly about his answer to this question, and the aftermath.

Georgia Nicolson continues to have boy troubles. Either she has no boyfriend, or she has three boys at once who all want to date her. In this seventh installment in the series, Georgia is waiting on Masimo to decide if he wants to be her proper boyfriend or not. Meanwhile, Dave the Laugh is still in the back of Georgia's mind as a snogging partner, and sex god Robbie comes back into the picture after being absent for the past few books.

I love the cover of this book! The imagery of the Macuseless play rehearsals and Jas as “Miss Haversham in that Dickens book, what is it called? Crap Expectations, I think… [sitting] in her wedding dress gathering cobwebs for years and years” are great. In a way, it kind of reminds me of Patsy and Edina in Absolutely Fabulous,, though here, we’re given the high school version. ;)

Georgia Nicolson is not currently in a happy place regarding her love life. In fact, she's stuck in neutral in more ways than one. According to Georgia, she's not only on the rack of romance, but in the cakeshop of agony, the oven of luuurve, and the bakery of pain. And, if you must know why, it is all because of the Italian Stallion, Masimo. The man who has knocked the Sex God - aka Robbie - right out of her mind, and taken up residence in her heart, as well as in the band the Stiff Dylans, as

This one didn't make me laugh out loud. It is getting a bit repetitive for me... Georgia's insecurities and "madness" are getting to be too predictable and boring for me. A bit disappointing as the first one really had me laughing.

Fabbity-fab! Georgia continues, in book 7, to experience great tragicosity with her love life (Masimo the Italian Stallion vs Dave the Laugh vs Robbie the Love God--how to choose?), her family (Vati with his ridiculous clown car and leather pants! Mutti trying to dress like a teenager! Libby...being Libby!), her unsupportive friends (Why must Spazzy Jazzy go on and on about her boyfriend when Georgia needs to talk about HER boyfriend?), her arch-enemy (Wet Lindsay, aka Stick Insect), and school

Not much progression and I wish Masimo would disappear. Still funny, of course.

I had to skim this and the last few books...as funny as the first few were, I was getting sick of listening to Georgia whine about Luuurve Gods and Sex Gods and yet secretly really like Dave the Laugh. Just go out with him already! The last three books are all kind of blended in my mind. Again, I may have had more tolerance for these last few if I either was A) younger when I first read them or B) had to wait for them to come out, thereby giving me a break from Georgia's antics and a chance to m

I really liked this one a lot. It had Mosimo the Italian Luuurve God making Georgia WAIT and see if he wanted to be "exclusive" with just her. Then there is the Play Mac-Useless where Dave the laugh is always lurking behind the scenes (ha ha) and declaring his love for her...maybe! Lots of fun Disco dancing and Viking Wedding talk...and other things that if you haven't read the books might sound completely mad! But that's what these books are, MAD!!! But so cute!

Georgina is once again on the rack of luuurve. She is patiently waiting while Masimo, the Italian Stallion, considers her ultimatum of becoming her one and only or to just be mates. She is worried she made a terrible mistake in asking to become his girlfriend since Wet Lindsay is again her competition. Then there is still that Dave The Laugh fiasco of him saying something about not realizing what you had and losing it – whatever he was talking about! And the original Sex God is still away in Kiw

That summary pretty much explains everything that happens in this book, the seventh book in the Georgia Nicolson series. Georgia finally admits to herself that she may have feelings for Dave the Laugh. She tells Masimo that she wants to be with him and he turns her down. She can't stop thinking about Robbie.
So instead she focuses on other things, like her school's production of Macbeth. She also saves two small girls from the wrath of Wet Lindsay (Robby's ex, possibly Masimo's new girlfrie More...

Georgia Nicholson is so hilarious that I hesitate to read these books in public because of the snorting laughter they cause from me. I think Louise Rennison does a great job of catching the things that interest the average teenage girl the most: fitting in, having friends, wanting a "normal" family, & most especially the complications of guys (not to mention the fact that being a teenager is not so very far from being a kid, & though the average teenager wants to be taken seriously as

The Love God is from Pizza-a-go-go and Georgia is in the cake-shop of love! There are no proper words to describe the hilarity and mayhem that Georgia Nicolson finds herself in. I have to say my favorite part about this book is the :

I love the Georgia Nicholson series. I first started reading the series in 2007, but stopped reading at book 8 or 9.
Although the series is a little on the sexual side and the humour is so bad, it's good, it's still a great read. It's easily to follow and very easy to imagine the scenes in your head!
I used to laugh when I read this book. Louise is brilliant

Not much is resolved in this one- just more of the usual. I think one must have read earlier books to even figure out who's who and what's going on here. I do luurve the language in these and the glossary and intro "for the folks in Hamburger-a-go-go land" are really the best bits. Did not like the change in cover art to realistic photo for this release. The series is getting a little tired but I still enjoy it.

It took me awhile to get back into Georgia vernacular, but by the time the disco inferno dancing began I was on track to enjoy the insane antics and hilarious wit of Georgia and the ace gang, various snoggosity, Wet Lindsay, and the crazed (and by far my favorite) Libby, Angus, and Gordy.

Georgia Nicolson never lets me down. Her life is hilarious and I love reading about it. This book may not be as good as the earlier ones but I still loved reading it.
Georgia's parents are still idiots, her cats & little sister Libby are completely bonkers. Her friends are mad, just like Georgia.
Can't wait to read the next book in the series.

Warning this book will make you wish you were an English school girl whose biggest problem is snogging three blokes... Let me just say I love this series and catch myself speaking with a teenage british accent while reading them. Georgia and her friends are hilarious.

What's not to love about Georgia Nicolson. She's up to her usual hilariosity and snogiosity in this installment of the The Confessions of Georgia Nicoloson. And of course, it ends with a cliffhanger, so what's a girl to do except pick up the next book!

at first it went kind of slow and i actually took a break from it for a while but the ending was really good!! i was not expecting it AT ALL!
since then, i've really wanted to read the next book but i'm still waiting for it from the library.

I was quite amused that the title came from a line at the end of the book. It was thoroughly unexpected in the way only Georgia can be.
I look forward to seeing her crazy friend Rose (who's really been coming into her own the past few books) and Rose's mad Swedish boyfriend Sven a lot more...

the book wasn't bad but it wasn't the greatest it was a little boring but at the same time it was exciting it was exciting because there were lots of new things happening in the story that weren't there in the last book of the series.
