Críticas

Withering Tights (Misadventures of Tallulah Casey) por Louise Rennison

I read this for the "Author Whose Last Name Starts With The Same Initial As Yours" part of my 2020 reading challenge. It was good, but I didn't find it as "laugh out loud" funny as the author's other series.

A Midsummer Tights Dream (Misadventures of Tallulah… por Louise Rennison

I liked the flow of this one a bit more than the first book, but it still wasn't as laugh-out-loud as Georgia's books are.

Then He Ate My Boy Entrancers: More Mad, Marvy… por Louise Rennison

Ultimately, not a lot happens in this story and nothing is truly resolved; it is just a weeks-long snapshot of the life of an English 16-year-old girl. The pleasure comes from Georgia's narrative voice and her highly idiosyncratic use of the Queen's English (if such it can be called). Think "Bertie Wooster as a modern teen-ager". The audiobook is read by the author, so I know what I heard was absolutely authentic in terms of what she wanted us to hear.
