Georgia is her usual funny, snarky self on the brief trip to Memphis with her family and best friend Jas. She's as demeaning as ever towards her parents and her friends. And the secondary characters continue to let her ride roughshod over them, somewhat inexplicably. Jas is so wrapped up in boyfriend Tom and his trip to New Zealand that she is occasionally oblivious to Georgia's continual crises over Masimo and the state of their maybe relationship. Dave the Laugh is there for Georgia with friendship and advice when she needs him although she can't see what else he's offering her. Basically, Georgia's still self-centered, annoying, and a stereotypical teenager but since she's fictional, she's as entertaining as all get out. If she was real (and my child), I might have to smack her spoiled, selfish little self with a shovel. As she's not, I'm looking forward to the next installment in the series to see if she's grown up any and how she's handling the small bit of self-knowledge she comes to by the end of the story.
