This "fabbity, fab, fab" novel will leave readers cheering, "Long live the teen!" and anxiously awaiting the promised sequel. Although performer and comedy writer Rennison clearly owes a large debt to Helen Fielding's Bridget Jones's Diary (1998), her Georgia is a wonderful character whose misadventures are not only hysterically funny but universally recognizable. Dad has gone to New Zealand in search of a better job, and pet cat Angus, who can usually be spotted stalking the neighbor's poodle, has gone missing. It includes all of the incessive thoughts that a typical teenage girl has. The story is written in diary form from the mind of a young teenage girl. Honestly, how wet (idiotic) can you get! In the meantime, life on the homefront is spinning out of control. Angus, Thongs and Full-Frontal Snogging is a coming of age story. is dating a girl named Lindsay who-brace yourself-wears a thong. For even though she's still reeling from her devastatingly bad decision to go to a party dressed as a stuffed olive, she has fallen in love with an older man (he's 17), a Sex God named Robbie. R eading 1999’s Angus, Thongs and Full-Frontal Snogging could be an unbearable source of secondhand embarrassment if Louise Rennison’s novel wasn’t so outrageously hilarious. Snogging is, simply, "kissing with all the trimmings," and it's much on 14-year-old Georgia's mind these days. American readers wondering what on earth "full-frontal snogging" is will find the answer in the helpful (and hilarious) glossary appended to this antic diary of a year in the life of an English girl named Georgia Nicolson.
