While this novel lacks elegance and grace. Figuring what to do with your life, working through friendships, problems with boys, it’s all in there and humorously done. But while reading the novel you’ll soon learn that Shiraz is not the type of girl to settle down with a rich husband, she has a mind of her own. Her mother seems to think that a rich husband is the way that Shiraz needs to go. And unfortunately it isn’t something that her environment encourages. Up the duff: (adj.) pregnant, knocked up, in the pudding club.ĭespite what you would initially think, Shiraz is very smart. Marmite: (n.) brown yeast extract spread that British people have on toast, which to an American person who isn’t used to it will taste like Satan’s jockstrap. Also boobies, breasts, blouse potatoes.įangita-eater: (n.) this is a pretty, erm, rude word for a girl who things other girls are hot and doesn’t fancy boys. I may not have understood everything she was saying (thankfully there was an English dictionary for all the American cousins) but the girl is bloody brilliant!īaps: (n.) boobs. But once I started reading I was sucked into to Shiraz’s voice. First off I had idea what a Chav was, and the cover scared me a little. I was laughing my ass off the entire time I read this novel! Shiraz is a very lovable character.
