Away Laughing on a Fast Camel by Louise Rennison
2.0

First, best book title ever! Don't you want to use that in a conversation one day?

"So, what did you do over Christmas break?

Oh, I was away laughing on a fast camel."

Anyway, I thought this was a bit less fun than the previous ones but that might be due to too much time in Georgia's self-absorbed head. This story feels a bit like filler with Georgia just feeling moody about Robbie/Sex God away in New Zealand until Masimo arrives in town. I also feel like there are way too many "osity" words and too many references to Hitler, Jesus, and Georgia's obsession with lesbians/who's gay or not.

Still, there are some fun moments! Georgia having to dance blindly to the bathroom because her false eyelashes have blinded her comes to mind.
Ooh, Dave the Laugh is a hormone-driven mess, but I'm glad he threw hands at Mark.
