Description

The first adult novel from the iconic, much-beloved household brand, Jacqueline Wilson. Revisiting 'the Girls', now aged 40... Adulthood isn't quite what Ellie Allard dreamed it would be when she was fourteen years old. Though she's got her beautiful daughter Lottie, her trusty cat Stella and life-long best friends in Magda and Nadine, her love life is non-existent and she feels like she's been living on auto-pilot, just grateful to be able to afford the rent on her poky little flat. But this year on her birthday, it seems it's time for all that to change - whether Ellie wants it to or not. As she navigates new, exciting and often choppy waters, she's about to discover that life will never stop surprising you - if only you let it. Bringing the same warmth and humour to an adult novel as she does to her work for younger readers, Jacqueline Wilson finally answers the questions her fans have been asking her for years in this uplifting, life-affirming book about friendship, family, and finding fulfilment in unexpected places.

Reviews

Nuanced and refreshing... beautifully told. There is real comfort in feeling seen again in these adult lives that are just as confusing, wonderful, unfair, unpredictable and full of potential at 40 as they were for our teenage selves. But everybody is doing OK. Youre doing OK. And that reassurance, really, is what weve always gone to Wilson for. * Guardian *
Jacqueline Wilson taught me how to cope with being a teenage girl I'm so happy she's back. * Independent *
This story offers grown-ups what Wilson has long offered teenagers: comfort, sanity and delight in the ordinary. * Daily Mail *
Be ready for a trip down nostalgia lane Think Again will resonate with (Jacqueline Wilson's) audience, offering both comfort and insight into the struggles of growing up. * Glamour *
One of the UK's most iconic writers. * Stylist *
Think Again is pure nostalgia in a bottle, and oh-so-relatable. Jacqueline Wilson taps into the joys and pains of women everywhere. * Dawn O'Porter *
I cannot stress enough how much I loved Think Again. It made me realise just how much millennial women NEED Jacqueline Wilson to help us make sense of our lives. The voice translation from a teen Ellie to a 40-year-old Ellie was completely seamless, and I loved how Jacky never shies away from telling the truth about our lives. Her readership is going to be beyond delighted by this update on Ellie, Magda and Nadine. I'm desperate for her to keep going now! * Holly Bourne *
We can all finally stop obsessing over exactly what happened to the Girls gang. * Sun *
Millennials, rejoice! * Elle *
This book is the cute dose of nostalgia that every millennial woman needs but in true Wilson style, it is an emotional read. * Mirror *
