I hadn't read this in a very long time. It still makes me laugh out loud! It doesn't seem to appeal to my students much - I wonder if the British slang and humor puts them off, or if they just don't like the story. It is a bit abrasive and abrupt at times.
My favorite laugh-out-loud part was when Georgia was taking her little sister for a walk and she ran into Robbie, her "sex god." When her three-year-old sister says, "Georgia had a big poo this morning," the embarrassment inherent in the situation just glares. What an adolescent angst story. Too fun.
