Angus, Thongs and Perfect Snogging - Louise Rennison
With the Mumsnet
Book Club already thriving, we thought it about time we started reviewing grown up books and for this category we're looking for books published in the last year or so that are easy reads, something uplifting to take to a sunny beach, or to pick up in a quiet moment at home (should you be lucky enough to have one of those). At some point when we've reached a critical mass we'll be handing out a dazzling literary award to the winning book (watch out Mr Booker) so please add as many reviews as you like and feel free to comment on other folks' choices. As ever, if you have any suggestions for new categories you'd like to see, please send them over to contactus@mumsnet.com.

Laugh out loud read. Rennison brilliantly captures the angst of fitting-in, the vulnerability of puberty and the embarrassment of parents! As I read excerpts of Georgia Nicolson's diary I was given a glimpse of what could have been my very own adolescence. A book I wasn't sure I wanted to read, as I thought I'd be past it in age, but it immediately took me back to my youth and made me laugh so hard I nearly peed my pants! I couldn't help imagining how funny it's going to be on-screen and can't wait to see it at the cinema. The only thing about it that bothered me is that it sets you up for a sequel. Personally I'm not the kind of person who can wait for a second book to come out in a series, so I wish this one was longer and had the closure I craved.
