On the first day of the new school term, Georgia and her friends Jas, Ellen and Rosie spot fraternal twin brothers Robbie and Tom Jennings, who have recently moved to Eastbourne from London. I'm not answering that text, no matter how many smileys you send with it. I should stop listening to beautiful but depressing Dutch music. This is not good for me. Dave "The Laugh" - Boyfriend, later turned ex, close friend and occasional "snogging partner" of Georgia. Jerk with a Heart of Gold: Georgia again. As Jerkass-ish as she can get, Georgia's Pet the Dog moments make you realize that she really is an okay kid. I don't think we mean the same thing when we say someone is wet. Mental horrible images of "wet" Lindsay. Must. Stop. Brain.
Hands-Off Parenting: Georgia's mutti hardly ever cooks, and lets Libby play with bread knives, and her vati doesn't seem to do anything other than polish his clown car and sit around drinking beer with Uncle Eddie. Limited Wardrobe: A lot of what Georgia wears consists of her denim skirt, ankle boots and/or crossover top.
Did we miss something on diversity?
Only One Name: Dave the Laugh's surname is never mentioned, despite him being one of the main male characters. I wasn't a fan of the style of this book either. It was written in journal format, but as is often the case, it ends up being mostly 1st person. But being that Miss Georgia is a drama queen, I can forgive that. She'd want to pour her heart out. But damn it was choppy and random and the timestamps didn't make sense. I think a lot of them were supposed to be funny, like "Oh, I'm going to do this thing and it's going to make me look like a fashion model and then the Sex God will love me!" and then 2 minutes later, "My life is ruined!" Angus: My mixed-breed cat, half domestic tabby, half Scottish wildcat. The size of a small Labrador, only mad. Likes to stalk Mr. and Mrs. Next Door's poodle. I used to drag him around on a lead, but, as I explained to Mrs. Next Door, he ate it. a b "Angus, Thongs and Perfect Snogging (2008)". Box Office Mojo. Archived from the original on 1 March 2022 . Retrieved 10 May 2020. Better as Friends: Georgia and Robbie. Also, Georgia thinks that she and Dave are better off as friends before Masimo breaks up with her and she finally realises Dave has been in love with her all along.
One-Gender School: Stalag 14, Foxwood's, St. Mary's, St. John's, Moorgrange Girls' are all mentioned to be single sex schools. Unresolved Sexual Tension: A lot throughout the series with Georgia and her love interests. Also, possibly the reason why she and Dave keep having "accidental" snogs.

Liam Hess as Peter Dyer, a charismatic boy in Georgia's class who notoriously gives girls lessons on how to kiss. He develops unrequited feelings for Georgia. Single Girl Seeks Most Popular Guy: Georgia is not content with a Foxwood lad. No, she must have the lead singer of the hottest local band.
Ship Sinking: Anyone who shipped Georgia/Robbie had their ship capsized when she chose Masimo over him. Also, the extreme minority of fans who shipped Georgia/Masimo would've had their ship sunk when he left for London at the end of ATMBISBM. Oblivious to Love: Georgia is oblivious to Dave's feelings for her, dismissing them as just him being a nice friend. I have a three-year-old sister who may have peed somewhere in my room. I miss my sister. She was supposed to come home today but apparently it's Sunday. Stupid independence shit. Like Parent, Like Spouse: Dave has a lot in common with Georgia's dad, from his inappropriate comments, to his self-confidence, to his sense of humour.

I lay on my arm until it went numb and then I lifted it (with the nonnumb arm) onto my breasts. I wanted to see what it felt like to have a strange hand on them. It was quite nice, but what do I know?” I feel like such a hypocrite giving this such a high rating after DNFing Dear Dumb Diary when this is even more problematic than that, but I suppose we all have our problematic faves! I loved this so much. SO many laugh-out-loud moments and the characters all seemed so real and I LOVE ANGUS THE CAT MORE THAN LIFE ITSELF. Will definitely be continuing on with the series as I think I've only ever read the first 2 or 3 previously! Cornelius, David (11 January 2010). "Angus, Thongs, and Perfect Snogging". DVD Talk . Retrieved 16 October 2023. Every time I reread these books, they turn out to be offensive in more and more ways. I can’t imagine this book getting Printz Honor now. And yet, this is pure comedy gold.
After he dumps Rachel, Dave starts dating Emma Jacobs, and this time round he really does try to be a good boyfriend to her and stay faithful. It is clear that he has strong feelings for Georgia, but all the same he does seem to like Emma quite a bit, even going as far as to go to a Sculpture Park with her and her parents. Always Someone Better: Dave the Laugh is constantly overlooked by Georgia because he is not as good-looking nor a pop-star like Robbie and Masimo. So . . . I’m sorry if you’re offended, or if this book was your early teenage happiness but the only reason I wrote such a terrible review was for the crazy coffee lover I mentioned earlier.

Archived from the original on 12 January 2012.Maybe Magic, Maybe Mundane: In the first book, the Bummer Twins hold a "seance" that seemingly falls flat.
