She makes me laugh so hard sometimes! I'm rereading this one by listening to it at work, and people around me wonder what's going on because I'm laughing. It's hysterical. And I want to put -ocity on made up words from now on. And a lot of her sayings and phrases crack me up because they're so out there! Mad biscuit, what in the name of ass (or insert anything else you feel like there), etc etc. But they're only good in an English accent, which totally sucks, but that's okay.

Wasn't quite as good as the others, though the last 50 pages or so got back into it and was really exciting to read

I started reading this series probably ten years ago or so, in my teenaged years, and I think I stopped with this one as it was the newest at the time. Since then I've seen the series around and always meant to go back and finish the rest.
Georgia is an interesting oddball of a character. I can't always get a handle on her, especially as I noticed the author stopped mentioning how old Georgia is supposed to be. She mentions being fourteen mid-way in the second book, which I thought was strange because the first book was basically an entire year and she was already fourteen. She must be close, if not at, sixteen by this book but I don't think she's really matured that much. (Could that be why people are always telling her she's childish??) I feel like the characters are stuck in a Bart and Lisa Simpson time-warp, which strikes me as weird because there is such detail to the date-and-time journal format.
Even with Georgia's idiosyncrasies, she's impossible not to like. Despite her immaturity and ridiculousness, you just have to laugh at her and her antics. The slang in the book, while sometimes hard to understand at first (she adds -sity to everything), really makes it come alive in the journal format. Sometimes when Georgia gets too ridiculous I have to skim a bit, but it's the little moments of snark and observational humor that make me laugh out loud helplessly.
I love the moments between Georgia and Jas when you look at the pair of them and wonder, why the hell did they ever become friends? Then Jas tells Georgia to carry her home and to her room and feed her things so Georgia can make up for pissing her off. There's a bit of a whackadoodle in Jas somewhere!
I'm hoping in the next book Georgia will stop pining and thinking about the Sex God, because it's so obvious that while he's a hottie, he's not the most interesting of men. She knows that on some level, so...more Dave the Laugh in the future!
I think I would've enjoyed all of these books a little more when I was a teenager, but they're a quick and fun read to go through now. I'm looking forward to seeing if Georgia grows up at all in the next few books.

It’s been fun rereading this series but I think I’ve got all the enjoyment out of it that I’m going to get. Georgia is a bit too selfish and annoying to want to spend any more time with her.
