Another book of hilariosity. My only complaint with this series is that it is too much like Georgia Nicholson. I feel that if you are going to have a new series with new characters it should be unique and this one is too similar. But, it does make me laugh and that is what is important I guess!

A sweet conclusion to the series. I love Tallulah's friendships.

And I was very happy she decided to eschew Cain.
Another hilarious book in this series!
I absolutely love Tallulah and her craziness and in this book we got next to all that craziness also more about her and a certain 2 boys.
It was a great book, and I really enjoyed it. Though I also hope that we will get more books, since I want to know how it continues with Tallulah and her drama lessons and also with how it will go with a certain someone.

I don't think I'll ever get tired of reading about Tallulah and the Tree Sisters and all the wild things they get up to. I'm definitely "too old" for these books, but I'll never actually outgrow them. They're such funny and relatable characters, and even as I get older I find myself connecting with them. I will definitely read these books again and again.
Louise Rennison, il faut vraiment la lire en version originale, parce qu'en traduction, c'est vraiment moins drôle! Je relirai peut-être un jour les 2 premiers de cette série en anglais. Bien contente d'avoir lu ce dernier volume en anglais.
5 stars just for being completely bonkers and so much fun. I laughed, I swooned, I marveled at the silliness. I think this was my favorite of the series! It reminded me most of the Georgia books; Lullah and the Tree Sisters are really getting into their Ace Gang-y groove. Louise Rennison is a hilarious person- her books are so wacky but relatable. And oh my lordy does she know how to write romance. PHWOAR. Mad, mad, crazy butterflies in those scenes with Cain and I do love Charlie. Not as much Alex in this book, but yeah. I go back and forth between who I want for Lullah! Sort of like Dave the Laugh and the Sex God... they have their points but one was clearly better ;) The only bother is not knowing how long I have to wait for book 4, or if there will BE a book 4! I hope so. I need more mad Irish dancing in my life. And owlets. And oh my lord would I die for a Tallulah/Georgia crossover book!

I absolutely adore Louise Rennison! I loved her Georgia Nicolson books so much and when I started reading the Talullah Casey series it was always in the back of my mind that Talullah was just not quite as funny and mad as her cousin, Georgia. And then I read The Taming of the Tights the third book by Louise Rennison in the Tallulah Casey and you know what? I've completely changed my mind. I'll always have a soft spot for Georgia, but my heart now belongs to Tallulah!
The thing that gets to me the most about Tallulah is how much crap she gets from everyone around her. One particular teacher at school, the village girls, even the man who runs the pub next to where she lives doesn't go easy on the poor girl. And throughout it all Tallulah hods her head up high and carries on. She does crazy owl raps and gallops about like a horse in front of everyone and does weird Irish dancing and puts up with the name calling and the glare-y looks and the incessant insults and people laughing at her. And while 90% of this book is absolutely laugh-out-loud funny, there are still moments where my heart absolutely breaks for the treatment that Tallulah receives from those around her and those moments are the ones in which I feel the most connected to her. I want to give her a big hug and I want everything to work out for her.
Because I do really adore Tallulah. I love her friendships with the other Tree Sisters and especially her relationship with Ruby (who is one of the funniest characters in the book!). I love how bizarre her world is, with the Dobbins and everything else and she just carries on like nothing is out of the ordinary! This is the third book in the Tallulah Casey series which follows Tallulah and her friends over another term at a performing arts college, Dother Hall, set in Yorkshire. The play they're working on this term is The Taming of the Shrew and I love the way in which shrews play a part in this book and owls across the entire series...
The other thing that I love about this book is how easily Louise Rennison changes my mind about characters. At the end of the previous book I was filled to the brim with excitement over the latest development in her romantic life ... and then I read this book. And instead of carrying on with that same excited feeling about two characters maybe-possibly starting something, my mind has been changed. And instead, I'm rooting for someone else entirely because it seems like this other person might be better suited for Tallulah. Things could go either way at this point and it all makes me feel a little bit giddy with excitement!
Hooray for Tallulah Casey and her friendships and her originality. I cannot wait to read more in this series...

Tallulah Casey is just like with a bit more knee-action.
Tallulah reminds me so much of the confusing things that come with being young and being around cute boys. Acting silly is something that happens more often then not. I am so happy with this ending. Thank you Louise Rennison's for making the final Tallulah Casey installment to give me the ending I wanted it. Love love love!

This one drew me in more than the first two. When she gets caught in a snogging Mexican standoff, my heart broke for the poor girl. I don't remember Cousin Georgia getting her heart stomped on quite so violently.
