Girls In Love, by Jacqueline Wilson

"Really a young teens novel, but my (nearly) 11 year old went mad for it and I gave in because she's always liked Jacqueline Wilson and she's such a good writer." "About three girls looking for boyfriends, it's funny, sad, stresses importance of friendship and has a good moral but non-patronising ending. Also includes dealing with a new step parent, which rang true for many of her friends. She's read it more than once."
