On the Bright Side, I'm Now the Girlfriend of a Sex God (Confessions of Georgia Nicolson #2)
You don't have to be a teenager to appreciate the humorous and often self-absorbed ravings found in 14-year-old Georgia Nicolson's diary, but it certainly helps. Now fans of Angus, Thongs and Full-Frontal Snogging -- Georgia's first set of hilarious musings on life -- can get another peek into the mind of this wryly inquisitive English lass in the appealing sequel: On the...more

The only thing I am going to say here is that Dave the Laugh is the best boyfriend ever. I have no idea why, for so long, I thought the Sex God Robbie was a good choice for Georgia. Dave is a total dream boat...
...and yes, I know I am twice his age.

This book was every bit as fun as I expected it to be. This series is just really cute, funny and light-hearted. Georgia is simply hilarious and I never tire of her dramatic reactions. Her witty diary entries are infectious and I find them impossible to look away from. This installment did drag at parts but it was mostly as entertaining and amusing as the first. I'm certainly looking forward to see what else is in store for Georgia.
Oh, what’s the matter with that Georgia! How could she do that to the poor kid? Dave the Laugh’s the perfect guy… “Dave phoned. He said, ‘I just called to say I really liked you. Night night.’” I think that’s really cute. How could she not fall in love? Oh, I don’t know… but there’s definitely something off with that “Sex God” of hers. When I think about the two of them, that jailbait infatuation, it congers up an image of Gidget and the Kahuna. ;) But it’ll probably end the same way with Gidget...more
What I like most about the Georgia Nicolson series is that it doesn’t try to be posh. It strives for absurdosity and succeeds. This installment picked up where Angus, Thongs and Full-Frontal Snogging left off, with Georgia losing the SG and protesting a move to Kiwi-a-gogo Land (a.k.a. New Zealand). From there, it only gets crazier: cat mating, Elastic Band theory, Dr. George Clooney, the German language, a wheelbarrow, etc.

This book has been one of my favorites! I ususally am not a big fan of reading, but this book had totally been amazing. It's about a girl named Georgia who is from Britain, so she uses a lot of unfamiliar words that are fun to read. She was the girlfriend of a boy named Robbie a.k.a "the sex god." He found out something that made him break the relationship, and as you can imagine she got very upset. Georgia really likes him so she does some pretty funny stuff to get his attention. If you want a...more
This was given to me by a friend. I actually read the first book by this author, which I thought was Bridget Jones but with teenage angst. The best character was Angus the wild cat. The humor was there but wore thin pretty quickly. The best thing about this was the title, IMO.

This book is kind of set up like a diary yet some pages tell the story as it is happening. Georgia is a girl who is growing up. She is 14 and her family may be making a huge move. She is so upset about this because she is the girlfriend of a Sex God. She writes about all her feelings and sometimes it is very random or she will rant about the same problem for a while. The Sex God is an older boy who keeps their relationship a secret at first. They meet a few times and kiss or as they call it, sno...more
I read Angus, Thongs and Perfect Snogging last year, which is the first book in the series. This book is written as the fictional diary of the young teenager Georga Nicholson who is navigating through puberty like a ball in a pinball machine.
The second book takes off where the first left off. There is a spoiler for the ending of the first book in the title for this one (the one I picked up is actually called "It's Okay I'm Wearing Really Big Knickers!" and I assume this is why it was changed)....more

As with the first book in the Confessions of Georgia Nicolson series, I just don't have a lot to say about this book as it is just so average. In fact, I'd even go so far as saying this one was more bland than the first one. Again, it is a YA novel in the vein of Bridget Jones' Diary, but without nearly the presence of the inimitable Bridget Jones. I imagine that most young girls would love this book. I know I thought this series was more fun when I was a teenager. As an adult, it just doesn't p...more
I was in the library looking for a book to read, and I came across this one that I had actually failed at finding before. Georgia Nicolson comes back as funny as ever, she is now the girlfriend of Robbie (who she calls Sex God) and she thinks of nothing but snogging him. When he dumps her for being "too young" she tries to finds a way to get him back. There were many quotes that I love in the book, but one of my favourites was "What is there to laugh at? I am on the rack of love. Life is a sham...more

In this book Georgia and Robbie are together but he breaks up with her because he sees her and her friends laughing like crazy, so that makes him think that she is way to young for him because he is like 2 or 3 years older than her so yea. but before that happens. Her Vati (that's dad in Georgia speak) has gotten a job in New Zealand and wants to drag the whole family off to the land of kiwis and kangaroos.

On the one hand, Georgia is as horrible & incorrigible as the first novel. Her little sister is still characterized as too young for her actual age, and her mother begins also has a repeat performance in book 2 that echoes of book 1. The other issue that bothers me about Georgia's characterization is that she does NOT look forward to her developing "basoomers" or wearing a bra. I didn't know a single girl that age who DIDN'T want breasts, so this little detail about Georgia strikes me as v....more

This book is amazing!!! I'm sure that i didnt' stop laughing through the whole entire thing! This book is about a 14 year old girl named Georgia, who just happens to think her whole world is ending. Georgia has just gotten word that she and her family will be moving to New Zealand for her father's job. Gorgia absolutly hates this idea and tries everything to keep it from happening. On the bright side of all this she has just landed her very own "sex god" whose name is Robbie. even though her br...more
I hereby admit that I am a fan-girl of Georgia Nicolson.
Once again, Georgia did not disappoint. This second book in Louise Rennison's all too funny series about young Georgia Nicolson - British teenager extraordinaire - was perfect. It picks up just after she has discovered that Vati (her father) will be moving her family to Kiwi-a-gogo Land (New Zealand) and thus her life is effectually over.

Georgia is back and she's as fabulous as ever. I can't read (0r listen) to one of these books without cracking up. Georgia and her friends are so goofy and self-centered (without realizing they're self-centered and without being annoying) that it makes me laugh.
I adored Dave the Laugh-I think he's a great addition and as great as the SG is I think I like Dave the Laugh better. Even though this one centers around Georgia and trying to win Robbie back, the parts I found the most hilarious were the...more

Hah!This book was HILARIOUS!!!! I think that some of the characters are just absolutely crazy.Georgia is quite a character. She is funny and witty sometimes, but to be completely honest it doesn't seem like she's a very nice person. I mean, she bosses around her friends and says really hurtful things about them. Like with Jas. That girl is Georgia's target and she's one of her best friends! I really don't get why any of Georgia friends would want to stay buddies with her.

I got a real kick out of these funny, honest, unsentimental books YA books. I would have loved (and I mean LOVED) them in high school. They're written as the diary of a British girl named Georgia, and she covers all the drama, hilarity, embarassment, etc., of the high school years, only with a delightful Englishness. Really fun, reeeeeeally amusing. I don't imagine they'd meet with much approval from the parents of American teenagers, though- Georgia is pretty frank (even crude- she's a teenager...more

Georgia tried several times to impress him, but the more she tried the more things were worse. Robbie loved it when Georgia messed up. After a while, Robbie started dating a popular,...more
This book has nothing to do with sex. He is called the 'Sex God' because she thinks of him as utterly hot and heartthrobbing.

This was the first Louise Rennison book I read. As a quiet teenager with few friends and zero interest from boys, this opened my eyes to the wonderful world of mad hormones, mad teenagers, and mad families in general. It also struck a chord with my mad cat lover side; Angus might be my true inspiration from this book, but really it swings between him and Georgia.

I'm truly enjoying this series. I'm ROTFL just thinking about it. My mom booked me a visit to the doctor, yeah, she thinks I'm that crazy.
And all my teachers are mad at me and my friend Ellie. Jeez, we're just laughing. Like loons. During classes. Disturbing everyone else within a 2 km radius.
But some parts are too funny to keep a straight face.

The movie 'Angus, Perfect Snogging and Thongs' made quite an impression on me. There were many recognizable, hilarious, crazy, deranged, embarrassing, sweet and realistic bits in it! After eyeing the book series for a while, I decided to give them a go. Though not as good as the movie, they were still a lot of fun.
