What They're Saying
Critics Review
Wilson, who writes about the lives of girls with such compassion, is particularly perceptive on the complexities of friendships and the realities of the British class system. Heartbreaking, yet full of warmth and hope. – The GuardianI loved this book. It was heartbreaking but warm, unflinching yet somehow cosy. Nobody writes like Jacqueline Wilson. Long may she reign! – Holly BourneNever did I think upon reading this book that I would be so connected, invested and intensely engrossed as I was. – NetGalley reviewer
