Somewhat disappointing. If I had been so petty and shallow at 13-14, I think my parents would have disowned me.
So this was funny, but... too drama queen for me. I thought it would be a journal, but the entries are too close to one another. I mean, who would update their journal at 2.00 pm, then at 2.30 pm, then at 4 pm and so on?
I'm not sure I want to continue with the series.
Apparently, Georgia is Rennison's alter ego, in that most of Georgia's experiences happened to the author at the same age. Eh. Too bad my life is not nearly interesting enough to have a book based on it.

Anti-gay
About once a chapter the main character says something homophobic. I know that's how people talk(ed) but I found it really upsetting, especially how they talked about the PE teacher!

Read this for my children's lit 4-8 class as one of my humor books. There were certainly funny moments, but overall I found the main character hard to relate to and there wasn't much growth. I realize that it's not really that type of book, and this is probably why I generally avoid this genre. If you're looking for something mindless it's an enjoyable enough read. Also the kid sister steals the show. :)
