Startled by His Furry Shorts is the ninth novel in the hilarious, best-selling series The Confessions of Georgia Nicolson. The book continues the diarist style of the protagonist, teenage Georgia Nicolson, as she chronicles the chaotic and often embarrassing dramas of her life. The title refers to one of her many perplexing encounters with boys, known as "Sex God" Robbie or her current interest, Masimo. Georgia documents her misadventures in navigating friendships, dealing with her embarrassing family (especially her little sister, Libby), and her desperate, often comical, attempts to understand the male species. The novel is a witty, honest, and highly exaggerated look at the internal thoughts and cultural observations of a British teenager.
