The show toured the UK for four years, and as a result, Rennison 'got lots of radio work and offered lots of things.'

After getting pregnant and giving her daughter up for adoption, she moved back to the UK, where she study performing arts was once asked to ' be an embryo' in an audition and eventually wrote a very successful one-woman show called 'Stevie Wonder Felt My Face'-a typically straightforward, yet absurdist title for her-about growing up. Rennison's novels were based on her own adolescence: At the age of 15, she moved with her family from Leeds in the UK to New Zealand. Rennison's UK sales amounted to about 2.6 million physical copies the author herself once described a school visit she did as being 'like a rock concert, all of them in this one assembly room, all asking questions and giving me hugs at the end.' Yet most millennial women, I'd venture, born in or around 1990, will probably gush if you mention her books, which are immediately identifiable if not by the name Georgia Nicolson then by Angus, Thongs, and. I didn't know much about Rennison before I started writing this in fact, before I don't know if I could have given you her name if you'd asked, at least not off the top of my head.

It was more of a moment for looking back in complicated nostalgia at one of the few good things about my pre-teen years, by which I mean: those books. Besides, I grew out of the Confessions of Georgia Nicolson books fast enough that I didn't read the last few of the ten-novel series, as I would imagine is true for many fans of my generation: The first one, Angus, Thongs, and Full-Frontal Snogging, was published in 1999, and the last, Are These the Basoomas I See Before Me?, was ten years later (ignoring the three-book spinoff series about Georgia's cousin, comprised entirely of titles with puns on the word 'tights'). It wasn't sad, exactly as I have silently pointed out to many people online, I didn't even know her. I have rolled my eyes at many other Twitter users who have expressed as much upon learning their own formative cultural figures had died, so I didn't tweet about it, but I did have an experience. Aw, I thought, The author of my favorite books from childhood is dead! Yesterday morning I woke up to two surprises: 1) The author of my favorite books from childhood, Louise Rennison, had died at the age of 63, and 2) I actually felt some emotion about this.
