Confessions of Georgia Nicolson

By: Louise Rennison

Narrated by: Stina Nielson

Length: 5 hrs

Publisher's summary

Several things about 14-year-old Georgia Nicolson's life are very wrong. Her bedroom smells like her little sister probably peed somewhere, but she can?t find where. Angus, her enormous cat, keeps terrorizing Mrs. Next Door's poodle. Dad's gone off to look for work in New Zealand. And one of her friends has rated Georgia's nose a zero on a scale from 1-10. But what's really driving her crazy is that Sex God Robbie doesn't give her the time of day. In fact, he's dating total idiot Lindsay, who Georgia happens to know wears thong knickers, which have no purpose except to climb up your bum. Is it too much for Georgia to hope for some full-frontal snogging with a Sex God, if he ever notices her?

Louise Rennison caused a sensation with this hilarious book that has been called Bridget Jones' Diary for adolescents. Narrator Stina Nielsen brilliantly fills the shoes of one of the most colorful young adult book characters in years.

Critic reviews

"A spectacular YA debut." (Publishers Weekly)
"Anyone who's ever ridden the roller coaster of adolescence will relate to 14-year old Georgia Nicholson's hysterically funny journal." (Seventeen)
"It will take a sophisticated reader to enjoy the wit and wisdom of this charming British import, but those who relish humor will be satisfied. Fresh, lively, and engaging." (School Library Journal)
"You know when you really should stop laughing and everyone is looking at you? This was me reading the manuscript on the train. This is a brilliant book!...I can't recommend it highly enough." (The Guardian)

Best. Audio. Book. Ever.

This book can only be describes as genius, crazy and so funny you might pee your pants. I was on the bus looking like an insane person laughing my ass off to this book. Buy it, better yet buy the book version so you can read along.

Have you listened to any of Stina Nielson’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

No, but I thought she did a fantastic job. Her tone and inflection perfectly imitated that of a very pissed off but hilarious cheeky teenager.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

Yes, unfortunately life got in the way

Any additional comments?

Fantastic movie, book and the audiobook really did it justice.

Great book and series

I love this book and series in the biggest way. It is so true .

I love this book

This book is very relatable even at an older age. it's fun to listen to and gives me something to look forward to. Georgia is a great character for girls how are coming of age and taking an interest in relationships or crushes.

Nostalgic!

I remember reading this book when I was probably 12 and it was so fun to listen to again! Just a cute, fun story that’s relatable for young women.

funny

I was expecting something totally different however I did find this to be a very funny book.

Amazing book

Love that the narrator has a British accent to help it feel more real,like I'm not really in my home is how it feels but wishing it was louder,having a bit of trouble hearing everything.

awesome

it's entertaining and funny. as an American I somewhat learny about UK teens. loved it

4 Stars

JAS: He said, "See ya later."
GEORGIA: But he might say that to everyone, like sort of "See you later" sort of thing.
JAS: You mean you don't think he likes me?
GEORGIA: I didn't say that. He might never say "See you later" unless he means, "See you later."
JAS: So you think he might mean "See you later," then?
GEORGIA: Yes.
JAS: When is later, though?

🤣🤣🤣 Sorry, you might have had to have been there, but this type of dialogue reappears a few times throughout the book and it made me laugh more each subsequent time. What teenage girl, at one point or another, didn't over-analyze everything a boy said to her?

As many times as I thought Georgia was a little shite, I also laughed out loud. I probably wouldn't recommend this to a young person who is easily influenced by what they read or watch, because Georgia has no respect for adults. Parents or otherwise. That might be my biggest issue with the story. Other than that, it was a light and fun read with a well done audio presentation.

Funny and sweet

This is an engaging, witty, and fun coming of age story. There’s something for everyone in this story and many laughs along the way.

Self-Centered Teenage Girls--Honest and Hilarious

The antics of Georgia Nicolson, as related through her diary, are especially hilarious when read aloud by Stina Nielson. Something of the essential English-ness of Georgia and her mates is translated much more effectively through the audio format than the printed word.

There's nothing high-brow about this book--no overwhelming or enlightened commentary about the human condition. Rather, it is the human condition of one 14-year-old school girl, told in open, honest, and unforgettable prose. Being 14 and in the throes of luurrve was never so much fun.
