Confessions of Georgia Nicolson is a young-adult/teen novel series written by English author Louise Rennison. There are ten books in the series, with the first volume published in 1999 and the final installment released in 2009. In autobiographical style, the series delivers the journal of Georgia Nicolson, a teenage girl who lives and grows up in England.
Just like most teen-lit novels, the series humorously illustrates Georgia Nicolson’s life among her family and her adventure with her “gang.” The family here consists of an embarrassing father, a loose mother, a weird little sister, and a vicious pet cat. Her refuge for friendship, comfort, and fun is a group of her best friends, the Ace Gang.
As a girl going through the tumultuous teenage years, boys and relationships are probably among the most important and complicated issues for Georgia, and also her friends. Most of the plots in series are built around those issues and occupying the spotlight is Georgia's dilemma and inability to settle her choice between Robbie (initial boyfriend), Masimo (the Italian stallion), and Dave the Laugh (a close friend). Teenage friendship is another major theme in the story, which is captured in the relationships among the Ace Gang members.
