Angus, Thongs and Full-Frontal Snogging book by Louise Rennison

Recommended by Good Thing Going by Lena Dunham

in response to Sarah

A book you wish you could experience again for the first time

I still remember how old I was (17) and where I was lying (the attic bedroom in a weird temporary rental we were living in) because I just felt this intense combination of amusement and coziness that I’ve been hunting for ever since! It’s probably 97% of the reason I moved to the UK…

I am obsessed these books. Me and my sister still quote them constantly. Reread the whole series as an adult, highly highly recommend.

I vividly remember my cooler older cousin gifting me her copy when I was ready. I loved this series so much.

kept this in my 8th grade desk at catholic school until the nuns confiscated it! 🫠 they needed a full-frontal snog i guess
