Are these my basoomas I see before me?

Louise Rennison

Reading: If this is the first Georgia Nicolson book, consider whether earlier relationships and running jokes would affect understanding. Read a little together first, then discuss the difference between depicting a joke and approving it.
Themes: Growing up and friendship: Georgia appears to learn something about friendship but is still described as not grown up. The book may invite discussion of partial, imperfect change rather than a complete coming-of-age resolution.
Humour and prejudice: The book reportedly contains repeated lesbian-phobic jokes. It remains unclear whether the jokes are challenged, ignored or used uncritically for comedy.
Romantic uncertainty: Georgia ends up with Dave the Laugh and the book closes with a kiss, but she remains unsure. The ending appears to offer romantic movement without complete emotional certainty or a fully extended resolution.
Worth knowing: Be prepared for repeated lesbian-phobic jokes, which one account finds increasingly irritating. Romantic content includes Georgia ending up with Dave the Laugh and a kiss, while her feelings remain uncertain rather than fully resolved.
