Despite Georgia's annoyance toward her parents, family is a big deal in Angus, Thongs and Full-Frontal Snogging. After all, Georgia's fourteen—and love 'em or hate 'em, family is a major player in her life. Her parents refuse to see her as the fully fledged adult Georgia fancies herself to be, her kid sister is annoying but cute, and in the end, when she's finally landed herself the boy of her dreams she's been yearning for since the moment she first saw him, her mom comes home and announces that they'll be joining her father in New Zealand—next week. Ugh.
