The book is number 35 on the American Library Association's list of frequently challenged or banned books from 2000-2009. [1] Georgia's frequently disrespectful attitude towards her parents and other authority figures have contributed to the challenges, as well as sexual content, profanity, age inappropriateness and the references to homosexuality. [2] [3] Why am I even thinking about this? No sign of Mark (the breast molester) when I got home, thank goodness.

Louise's writing was choppy and the mention of a "sex god" was a little inappropriate to me. Especially since the book attracted people of all ages, not just teenagers. Kids as young as 9-10 have read this book and the mention of "sex god" didn't fall right with me. Eleanor Tomlinson as Jas, Georgia's best friend who wants a boyfriend just as much as Georgia does. She begins a relationship with Tom, Robbie's fraternal twin brother. a b c Mullahy, Brian (28 July 2022). "Alpine School District pulls dozens of books from school library shelves". KUTV .

Liam Hess as Peter Dyer, a charismatic boy in Georgia's class who notoriously gives girls lessons on how to kiss. He develops unrequited feelings for Georgia.Full-Frontal Snogging: Kissing with the trimmings, lip to lip, open mouth, tongues...everything (apart from dribble, which is never acceptable). As taught to me by a professional snogger.

Dashing out of the house, Jas and I almost fell into Mark, waiting by the corner. Jas (big pal) said she had to run to her house first and she would see me at school. I went a bit red and walked on with him walking beside me. He said, "Have you got a boyfriend?" In 2009, the book was challenged at the Maplewood Middle School Library in Wisconsin, leading the school to require parental consent before allowing students to have access to it.

I feel like such a hypocrite giving this such a high rating after DNFing Dear Dumb Diary when this is even more problematic than that, but I suppose we all have our problematic faves! I loved this so much. SO many laugh-out-loud moments and the characters all seemed so real and I LOVE ANGUS THE CAT MORE THAN LIFE ITSELF. Will definitely be continuing on with the series as I think I've only ever read the first 2 or 3 previously!

The material, on the whole, "does not have serious literary, artistic, political or scientific value." [8] I was speechless. What is the right answer to that question? I tell you what the right answer is... a lie, that's the right answer. So I said, "I've just come out of a heavy thing and I'm giving myself a bit of space."
