GENRE: Fiction: Realistic fiction, 'pink lit', humor. 
 SUBJECT/THEMES: High school, dating, large cats, boyfriends, girlfriends, family relationships, humor. 
 SUMMARY: Experience the life of Georgia Nicolson, who dressed as a stuffed olive at a recent party, and shaved off her eyebrows (on accident) just over a week before school started for the year. Georgia enjoys hanging out with her girlfriends, especially her best friend Jas, even if Jas sometimes say exactly the wrong thing. Jas has her eye on Tom, who works at his parent's upscale grocery store, as does his brother Robbie. Once Georgia lays eyes on Robbie, she is immediately smitten. After getting a lesson from a "kissing professional" and briefly dating a football player with immaturity issues, will Georgia have a chance with Robbie? 
 EVALUATION: The story is told through the format of Georgia's journal, and I find that often is a good style for book writing. There were several scenes where I laughed out loud. I also had to look up a few English slang words in the handy glossary at the back of the book. This is the perfect sort of book to take to the beach or elsewhere during summer vacation. Light, entertaining, and enjoyable. 
 WHY I WOULD INCLUDE IT: I wanted to include something particularly appealing to girls, and this was one of the titles listed in the "Pink Lit" section of The Ultimate Teen Book Guide. This was fun and easy to read, and I believe readers will get a good chuckle over it. The version I read includes some back matter: a biography of the author, a Q&A with the author, the qualities Georgia feels are necessary in a gang, and a sneak preview of the another title. 
 This book, along with its sequels, would work well for a "pink lit" themed book club, preferably in the summer.
