Is anyone else excited to read it? Jacqueline Wilson books were such a big part of my older childhood/ young teen years.

According to the release:

"As Jacqueline knows only too well, life can take you on the most amazing journey and in Think Again Ellie both fulfils past dreams and finds new ambitions to guide her into the future", Walsh said.

The synopsis reads: "Being an adult isn’t quite what Ellie Allard dreamed it would be when she was 14 years old. Though she’s got her beautiful daughter Lottie, life-long best friends Magda and Nadine and her trusty cat Stella, 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 pokey little flat. But this year, on her birthday, the universe seems to decide 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."

Girls in Tears was the fourth!

Very excited for this. Loved those books as a kid.

Wow, would love to know what has happened to Ellie 25 years later. It makes me massively nostalgic and a bit sad to think those times were so long ago now 😢

Thanks for sharing this! I'll look forward to reading it. I thought Ellie would be a lesbian (re the compulsory heterosexuality she had to navigate in school), Nadine would have some wild years then turn into a suburban mum and Magda could be a high-flyer.

So excited for this! I've already read though the series in readiness ❤️
