My eyes are all swollen up like mice eyes from crying. Even my nose is swollen. It's not small at the best of times, but now it looks like I've got three cheeks. Marvelous. Thank you, God.

What tragedy has her so distraught? Her parents have told her she's moving to New Zealand just when she's managed to snog (kiss--look it up in the glossary) the SG (Sex God, a.k.a Robbie). This is of course not the only source of drama in Georgia's eventful life. Her half Scottish wildcat, Angus, who is the size of a small Labrador, herds the poodles next door and terrorizes the neighborhood. Her little sister, Libby, who is slightly mad, stores her "pooey knickers" and her scuba-diving Barbie doll in Georgia's bed. Her mother (from whom she inherited her orangutan eyebrow gene and possibly her "gigantic basoomas") is clearly inhabiting Earth solely to make her life miserable, and even her best friend Jas is "half girl, half turnip."
Despite the fact that she's spared from going to "Kiwi-a-gogo land," things don't get much better for Georgia. She's suspended for a childish prank right before her dad returns from New Zealand, she falls in love with the SG who dumps her for being too young, and Dave, the "red-herring" boyfriend she's using to make the SG jealous calls her a "heartless whatsit." And, she continues, "the spot on my bum is probably a boil. I wonder what Buddha would do now?" Rennison's comedic timing is brilliant. Adolescent angst ("I hope I am not driven to the brink of madness by grief") vanishes less than an hour later ("Angus can fetch sticks!!!") and sometimes even sooner.

Reviews
On the brightside, I'm now the girlfriend of a sex god, is the second book in the Georgia Nicolson Series. Its about a teenage girl from England who is obseesed with this guy [the sex god] but he is much older then her. Along her journey to get him to notice her, she runs into a few other problems with her friends, family, school, and just life.
My favorite part of the book is when Georgia is goingb out with "Dave the laugh". Se seems like she wants to impress him and go out with him, but whenever Robbie [the sex god] comes up, she acts as if she doesn't have boyfriend.
I like this book for many reasons. One reason is because this girl is about the same as I am, but since she lives in a different country it seems like we have nothing in common, yet we do. I also like this book because Georgia uses all these funny "s;ang" terms. It's funny to read the book and understand it but then a word like "tosser" or "lurgy" can totally throw you off. This book may get confusing at times, but it's a great read.
I like this book because it is a book that you can't put down and you have to keep reading till it's done. This wasn't my favorite book but it was pretty good. What I dislike about the book it is kind of confusing because the story takes place in Britain and they use words that are confusing and hard to understand. Put overall this was a pretty good book.
I would recommend this book to people who like a good love story and to people who like a good laugh.
