Luuurve is a Many Trousered Thing

Luuurve is a Many Trousered Thing (2007) is the eighth novel in the Georgia Nicolson series written by Louise Rennison. Published in July 2007. It is sold as Love is a Many Trousered Thing in the United States.

It follows Georgia as she struggles to decide which boy to go out with; the Sex God (Robbie) or the Luuurve God (the Italian Stallion also known as Massimo). She also finds herself emotionally involved with Dave the Laugh, although he seems to be acting very strangely.

Title

The title of the book is a quote from the book itself, as is tradition in the series. It is a play on the phrase "Love is a many-splendored thing." It is explained as meaning that someone can love more than one person simultaneously.

Metaphors

Continuing the past metaphors of "the rack of love" and "the cakeshop of love", Georgia begins to refer to her possible boyfriends as different types of pastries. Masimo is labeled as the "Italian cakey", Robbie is known as the "Robbie Éclair", and Dave the Laugh is referred to as "Dave the Tart". As Georgia is exploring the differences between the three boys, Robbie wants Georgia back, saying that he misses her. Eventually Georgia picks Masimo, but that doesn't stop her from snogging Dave, and going "jelloid" when meeting Robbie.
