Of its time. First time reading it. I can see why it was popular when released but definitely doesn't hold up well.
Georgia lacks redeeming qualities and acts pretty poorly without any self-awareness or consequences. 
Lots of problematic behaviours (sexual assault, homophobia, body shaming) presented without context.
