Georgia and Jas's friendship is pretty complicated and super important to Georgia's journey in Angus, Thongs and Full-Frontal Snogging. Though these two always come back together, their friendship is a source of major drama in Georgia's life, whether it's because Jas is scoring higher on their (totally ridiculous) body scale or letting Georgia know that boys aren't into girls for their killer senses of humor (which is also totally ridiculous, btw). Is it a perfect friendship? Nope. But few things are perfect when you're fourteen, and when push comes to shove these two really do seem to love each other.
