The main character is 13, but this book talks quite openly about older boys pressuring the girls for sex, going to house parties and drinking straight vodka. When she gets there, it's a soft porn theater and the "boy" is an "old man" so luckly the other 2 girls had been spying on her and followed and they save her from the "pervy creeper". However, to give it some credit, Ellie was kept mostly intact, the writing style remains as strong as ever, and I did like some storylines - the Dad and Anna and Eggs plotline was pretty decent. Of course, you teenagers never think that their parents understand them and, when Ellie’s dad starts to be overly critical of her, she starts to lash out. Jacqueline Wilson, award-winning queen of tell-it-as-it-is children's literature, hits the teen spot with this straightforward, highly enjoyable novel, adding further flesh to the bones of the characters her loyal readers will have come to love in Girls In Love, Girls Under Pressure and Girls Out Late.

I mean, it is meant to be in a collection but if you read it on its own it’s just fine, as the story makes total sense as well, but if you want to you can read the first two books first, although I don’t feel it is necessary. I also like how Jacqueline Wilson put down the feelings of Isabelle and how she thinks her life is horrible.I think its a really good way to explain to young girls that good looking and having a boy friend isn't everything! At the end, she is convinced that truly being drunk excuses her friend and boyfriend from making out and she really knows "russel is her soul mate" and so she takes him back. Another one of Russell's toxic traits is the way he completely plagiarises Ellie's original character and art style and uses it for an art competition, and compares it to Ellie adapting her late mother's original character into her own. As a teenager she started work for a magazine publishing company and then went on to work as a journalist on Jackie magazine (which she was told was named after her!

Although, I think the storyline involving Nadine’s online boyfriend is an important one for them to read.And Nadine is fed up with the other two lecturing her about the dangers of meeting someone on the Internet - she thinks her online boyfriend sounds wonderful!

Magda's lost her pet and is desperately upset (though the others didn't even know she still had a hamster! russell is sex crazed, disgusting, jealous and rude and she's still thinking about getting back together with him? He also talks about Ellie's best friends in the most vile way, and gets mad at her for having a conversation with someone who happens to be male at a supermarket.I feel as though Wilson books are a must in the lives of young children, a way of opening their eyes to the real world in the right way. my favorite characters are Nadine because I like her goth style ,and Magda because she is fun and loveable .
