She has a precocious 3-year-old sister who tends to leave wet nappies at the foot of her bed, an insane cat who is prone to leg-shredding "Call of the Wild" episodes, and embarrassing parents who make her want to escape to Stonehenge and dance with the Druids. No wonder 14-year-old Georgia Nicolson laments, "Honestly, what is the point?" A Bridget Jones for the younger set, Georgia records the momentous events of her life--and they are all momentous--in her diary, which serves as a truly hilarious account of what it means to be a modern girl on the cusp of womanhood.
Had I read this as a teen, I would have loved it. It's exactly the type of book I devoured back then.
Unfortunately it can't quite impress when being read for the first time at the "ripe old age" of 32 ;) It was okay, but not much more than that. I would recommend it to teens though, because I didn't really have anything against it other than being too old for the target group.
