British author Louise Rennison skilfully captured the soaring joys and drowning angst in the life of any teenager in her hilarious novel Angus, Thongs and Full-Frontal Snogging. This young adult novel was published in 1999 and is the first book in the Confessions of Georgia Nicolson series.
This story is written in the form of Georgia's journal, but some argue that there is never true reality because same events are always perceived differently by different individuals. To what extent do you think this is true for Georgie’s case? Did you catch any moments in the book when her subjective perspective clearly distorted the objective reality? How would that affect the portrayal of the story and its events?
Does Georgia love Angus and Gordy despite their bonkerosity or because of it? Why does Georgia find it much easier to show her affection for her cat than for any friend or family member?
How would you describe Georgia’s relationship with her family? In which ways did she resemble her parents? How come Libby always manages to bring out the soft side of her sister? How did honest interpretations of her family shine through Georgia’s narration?
