Just when the Sex God becomes Georgia’ s official boyfriend, he decides to go off and snog sheep in Kiwi-a-gogo land, taking her heart with him. Georgia decides to display extreme glaciosity to all boys -- after all, a girl can only have her heart broken so many times.

Until, ohmygiddygodstrousers, she meets Masimo, the new Italian-American lead singer for the Stiff Dylans band. The Dreamboat has landed -- again -- and Georgia is away laughing on a fast camel (whatever that means)!

I liked this book better than the last. Georgia made me laugh out loud. The cardboard kitty glasses sound something else. Also setting someone on fire trying to light a candle at church was hilarious. I also thought the description of costumes for the Lord of the Rings party was very funny. I hope she soon realizes that Dave the Laugh is much better than Masimo.

From Chapters:
Georgia thought she had put her ""red-bottomosity"" to rest when she finally chose Robbie the Sex God over Dave the Laugh. Anyway, Dave the Laugh is now dating her friend Ellen (which didn’t stop Georgia from snogging him at a party...)

But when Dave breaks up with Ellen and the Sex God is never around, Georgia doesn’t know what to do! As always, in Georgia’s life, nothing ever turns out as planned!

Thank God, Georgia isn't my child. She is very irreverent and seems not to really care about anything. We do get a glimpse that she is not that bad at school or sports. If she were my friend I would have told her to take a hike long before now. I am really pulling for Dave the Laugh. My fav character is Angus. You just have to love this free-wheeling independant feline.

This is the 5th book in the series that sees Georgia chasing after a new Sex God after Robbie left for sheep and greener pastures.
I liked it just as much as any of the previous ones! There were some very funny moments in it (Georgia lighting someone's clothing on fire at the church, Gordy getting cardboard glasses, etc). I liked the introduction of the new kitty, he seems quite cute. Although you just know he's going to be a trouble maker like Angus! I'm not too sure I like Masimo, the "New Sex God". Georgia should get togehter with Dave the Laugh. Infact I'm sure they will by the time this series ends.
I didn't like how Georgia was getting nastier near the end. She was calling a whole bunch of people very rude names. I know she can be annoying at times but I thought perhaps she had gone a bit too far this time. Hopefully the next book is a bit more toned down on the name calling. Honestly, I can't understand why anyone would want to be her friend!! LOL She can be so rude sometimes.
