Georgia Nicolson just recently found out th
at her family is moving to New Zeland and times could not get worse when Robbie, also known as the sex god, broke up with her and is off to college. Her best friends are there to help her and are with her till the end.
Georgia has to start school soon and knowing that her and her family are leaving to New Zealand in a week doesn’t help. When she gets a letter from Robbie saying he wants to stay apart and trying to give her someone her own age to be with gives her ideas. Finally school starts and Wet Lindsay and the Bummers are out to get Georgia and her friends like years passed. When the Nicolson family gets a call from Vati, their father, he tells the family his good news. Jas is depressed and emotional about Tom, her new boyfriend and also Robbie’s younger brother, leaving to go finish his studies in collage. When Lindsay gets picked up by Robbie from school the elastic band theory begins. Dave the Laugh, one of Robbie’s younger brothers friends, comes into Georgia’s conspiracy to get Robbie back.
Everything in Georgia’s life becomes revolved around Robbie and plans to get him back into her life even if it means hurting someone who might actually have true feelings for Georgia.
When Georgia scores the winning goal of the hockey game and injures her ankle Dave the Laugh is at her gate waiting for her she quickly realizes how nice he is to her and does not understand why. When Georgia is in the bathroom the day after the hockey game she gets cornered by the Bummer twins and gets a cigarette shoved and lit in her mouth.
Georgia faces many changes in her life that most girls often experience. This book is funny, emotional, and very relatable. We have all had tough break ups and the group of girls who think they are all that and a bag of chips, but in the end everything ends up alright. I enjoyed this book and i would recommend it to anyone especially to someone who needs a good laugh or someone who just got their heart broke.
