Reviews

[Beth]

This series really does make me laugh like a loon on loon tablets.

- Rosie getting her pants pulled down (oh I cried with laughter)
- "losing keys"
- All about Dave the Laugh

Literally every update I hype up Dave so much, but he's such a good character, I love him
Jelloid knickers.

Rating: ⭐⭐⭐

This one was a good branch-out, Georgia is so much fun & relatable. Now I really have to read the next book to know what'll happen with them two..

[Ellis · Rating 3 out of 5]

Actual rating is 3.5 stars.

It is impossible to review these books properly. Georgia wouldn't stand for it and neither would I. She did, however, give me permission to draft up the Georgiaphiliac Manifesto. I will tell you this for free, it is marvy with knobs. What do you mean, I'm tooting my own HOOOOOOOORN?

The Georgiaphiliac Manifesto

A proper Georgiaphile does not cry. She blubs.

A proper Georgiaphile does not do her make-up. She tarts herself up.

A proper Georgiaphile does not wear bras. She wears over the shoulder bolder holders.

A proper Georgiaphile does not have a father nor a mother. She has a vati and a mutti.

A proper Georgiaphile does not kiss until she's out of breath. She gets snogged within in inch of her life.

A proper Georgiaphile does not have a best friend. She has a bestest pally.

A proper Georgiaphile does not get fits. She has a ditherspaz.

Oh, how much I love this lunatic <3

[Chloe Reads Books · Rating 1 out of 5]

This one was not the best of the series so far!
Nothing actually happened, and the "big surprise" was very predictable, even to a young teenager I'd think!

3.5

It felt like a filler book, to set the next one. I didn't expect the plot twist at all...

[Mindy · Rating 4 out of 5]

Lots of fun! Have really enjoyed the silliness of these this holiday season. I have had a cold and these books have been one of the only bright spots.

[Gabriella Martinez · Rating 5 out of 5]

ROBBIE IS FINALLY BACK SO CAN WE PLEASE DROWN MASIMO IN A VAT OF SPAGHETTI HE'S SO BORINGGGGG UGGH

[Genevieve · Rating 3 out of 5]

OOOOO all three boys are in the picture. Georgia, how are you going to get out of this mess

[Christina · Rating 4 out of 5]

I have no idea how Louise managed to write so much about nothing and that is a complement! Georgia spends the majority of this book in sheer desperadoes and in the cakeshop of aggers, waiting a full week (and a day) for Masimo's response. But Masimo turns her down saying he's not ready to have a serious relationship yet. Poo. Soon after, she's mate-zoned. Dave the Laugh's still giving her mixed signals, snogging her and smacking her bum. Georgia even sends a letter back to Robbie! What a three-timer! I really don't know who to root for at this stage!

The biggest merde storm landed, in the history of Confessions of Georgia Nicolson, at the conclusion of Startled by his Furry Shorts and I am in a complete ditherspaz!

[babyhippoface · Rating 3 out of 5]

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 Georgia will enjoy this title despite the lack of new material, and the glossary translating English slang into “American” is still hilarious.

[Grace Meredith · Rating 3 out of 5]

Oh my god! I got so bored and frustrated with this book, but that cliffhanger! Oooooo, I knew it.

[Unity · Rating 4 out of 5]

I love Dave the Laugh. Masimo still is a twit. And the play must go on.

But I am internally SCREAMING!! Oh how I've missed Robbie and crave his humor. Dave was a great substitute but he also is a hornmeister.

[Robyn · Rating 3 out of 5]

Some lol moments but after book 6, when you know the outcome, you kind of wonder what can possibly fill 4 more books. Good cliffhanger ending though! Will keep reading, these are still fun and funny even if the plot is getting way drawn out.

again i really really wish there weren’t so many lesbian / trans jokes in this !

[Emily✨ · Rating 3 out of 5]

3.5 stars ***

This one just seemed a little shorter and like not much happened but it was still super funny and enjoyable of course.
Also.. Dave the Laugh😍😍

[Michela · Rating 5 out of 5]

AAAAAHHHHH what a cliffhanger!

[Mel Steadman Hunt · Rating 3 out of 5]

One of my favourites in this series. Definitely more of a 3.5 stars. Such a quick, funny read and Georgia really has matured in this one (slightly).

[Emily Reedie · Rating 3 out of 5]

Go away Massimo! Let Dave the laugh get his girl!
Now the sex god is back I have absolutely no idea how this is gonna go!

[Nadiya]

guys it’s really heating up rn

[Helen · Rating 4 out of 5]

Georgia Nicholson will get 5 stars from me when she’s finally with Dave the Laugh.

[Fay · Rating 3 out of 5]
