 rating: 4 of 5 stars Georgia Nicolson is hilarious. This isn't the kind of funny that makes sense--it's actually the kind of hilarious that doesn't make sense, but yuo laugh anyway because it sounds funny. Um, that probably didn't come out right. But whatever; all you've got to know is that if you're looking for entertainment and a chortle of maniacal laughter, this is the series for you. 
 
 In case you didn't pick up, this is the 8th book in the series. Georgia Nicolson's crush on Masimo (an Italian guy) is finally no longer a crush when he tells her that he is a "free man" for her. At which point, former crush and ex-boyfriend Robbie returns and makes Georgia confused: does she want Masimo or Robbie? Throw in a bunch of very interesting friends (namely Jas and Rosie, who are just as crazy as Georgia) a third love interest, and you've got the diary of Georgia in your hands. 
 
 For starters, I would just like to praise the author (Louise Rennison) for creating the character Georgia Nicolson. Georgia is every bit like a teenager and more: crazy, superficial, moody, and a whole bunch of other adjectives. But mostly, she's just outright hilarious to the point where I can't stop laughing. Reading the book was like talking to a real-life Georgia. Listening to her describe her love life and her "besty" Jas was a real laugh. The author has created such an interesting (yet, at the same time, incredibly stupid and obnoxious) character that it's hard NOT to like her. 
 
 Also, I'm thinking there's bound to be one or two more books in this series and it's bye-bye Georgia. Maybe she'll just finish at Book Ten (in which case, I'm rooting for Crush Number 3, even though I think Number 2 is just as cool, but hey, it's not my choice to make). 
 
 So, like I said, if you really just want a funny and interesting book, go ahead and pick up the first installment to the series. But be warned, because this is written by a British author and uses terms that may seem unfamiliar, but well, there's a glossary. Heh.
