Romantic love, family love, and pet love—Angus, Thongs and Full-Frontal Snogging covers them all, though Georgia's dating life (and lack thereof) is a pretty big chunk of the plot. She wants to be with Robbie, but kisses a few other dudes along the way. What can we say? Romance is complicated, and practicing kissing feels really important to Georgia.

And when it comes to Angus, well, if you can't get down with her maniacal cat, then you probably can't get down with Georgia either. So there.
