It's Ok, I'm Wearing Really Big Knickers

A Diary Full of Dilemmas

In It’s Ok, I’m Wearing Really Big Knickers, Louise Rennison picks up Georgia Nicolson’s hilariously awkward adventures just as spring fever ignites the corridors of her English secondary school. Armed with her trusty diary, a toe-curling array of adolescent insecurities, and a wardrobe that veers between “totally fetching” and “utterly mortifying,” Georgia navigates the minefield of crushes, friendships, and the eternal quest for peak coolness. When her best friend Maddie announces she’s found “The One”—the mysterious boy known only as “Tyson”—Georgia must balance loyalty with the irresistible pull of her own latest obsession: the delectable teen celebrity Robbie Jennings.

Chaos, Crushes, and Condiment Catastrophes

Between endless giggles over body spray disasters, impromptu sleepovers on pink satin sheets, and covert reconnaissance missions to catch a glimpse of Tyson’s secretive text messages, Georgia’s life becomes a whirlwind of lipstick swipes and locker-side conspiracies. As she concocts ever-more elaborate plans to charm Robbie—and to protect Maddie from heartache—nothing goes quite as intended. A runaway packet of chocolate Hobnobs, an accidental spray of her father’s aftershave in the hallways, and a topsy-turvy parents’ evening all combine to create a perfect storm of teenage melodrama. Yet through every cringe-worthy moment, Georgia’s razor-sharp wit and boundless optimism keep her—and us—rooting for her inevitable triumph.

Growing Up Without Growing Old

Louise Rennison’s signature blend of comic brilliance and genuine heart shines through as Georgia learns that true friendship, self-acceptance, and the occasional sartorial disaster are all part of the exhilarating chaos of adolescence. With diary entries that leap off the page in a riot of exclamation marks and pop-culture references, It’s Ok, I’m Wearing Really Big Knickers is a joyous celebration of first loves, embarrassing missteps, and the realization that sometimes the biggest knickers come with the most memorable stories.
