Angus, Thongs and Full-Frontal Snogging:

Summary from the Library of Congress Cataloging-in-Publication Data:

Presents the humorous journal of a year in the life of a fourteen-year-old British girl who tries to reduce the size of her nose, stop her mad cat from terrorizing the neighborhood animals, and win the love of handsome hunk Robbie.

Excerpts:

On the first page, she is worried about her breasts. She puts herself down—calling herself “ugly” and then takes pointers from her mother’s Cosmo magazine (p.4).

“…remember that boys don’t think girls are for funniness…” (p.9).

“What the hell did she know about boys? God, she had an annoying fringe.” (pp.9-10)

“Oh God, please, please don’t make me have to be a lesbian…” (p.11).

“If I did die, I wonder if anyone would really care…they’d [her parents would go to her funeral] have to as it’s mostly their fault I was depressed enough to commit suicide…” (p.16)

“want a boyfriend (…God willing, I am not a lesbian)…will never have one because I am too ugly (p.17).

Now she is looking for something in her dad’s drawer “…apron thing in a special box…hope against hope that my dad is not a transvestite” (p.19).

She discusses a moment with a boy: “…he touched my breast…” (p.112)

She meets the same boy some place: “…he grabbed me and gave me a kiss…no messing about…surprised and worried….the hand would sneak up to the breast…” (p.122)

They are dancing: “…he was all lumpy, if you know what I mean, and had his mouth against my neck.” (p.124)

“Oh, bloody hell [two other girls] are back with a vengeance” (p.128).

M. [the boy she danced with] is smoking, he tosses the cigarette and kissed her again: “he put his tongue in my mouth…then he did it again…his hand on my breast…” (p.130). Then he dumps her.

Her parents go out and when they come home, “they were drunk” (p.138).

She and her friends have a score card “for kissing and so on, from one to ten” (p.198). 7 for “upper body fondling – outdoors”, 8 for “upper body fondling – indoors (in bed), 9 for “below waist activity”, and 10 for “the full monty [sex]” (p.198).

One friend dares the other to stand on a wall and drop her pants, while two friends dare another to run down the street naked, and she takes the dare (pp. 200-201).

There is girl talk “about everything – boys, makeup…lesbians” (p.201)

One friend says: “How do you get to become a lesbian?”

“Why? Are you going to give it a go? [be a lesbian]”

“…can’t just think, Oh, I’ll give being a lesbian a go.”

“…a go at, er, snogging [kissing] a girl.”

J. (the lesbian spokesperson) said…”Of course they do. They have proper sexual wotsits.”

The girls ask how that is possible “when they haven’t got…proper sexual wotsits.”

J. mumbles: “Snubbing.”

“…They snub each other?”

J. corrects the statement: “No, rubbing.” (pp. 202-203)

This book continues on about boys, kissing, etc. It is a diary of a young British girl. The book ends when she gets the boyfriend she’s wanted.
