Summary: I'm Falling In Love With GIRLS IN LOVE
Review: Have you ever had to deal with friend problems, guy problems, family problems, jealousy, lies, imperfection, and all the other obstacles of growing up? If you have then your not alone!
Ellie Allard is 14 years old and has never had a proper boyfriend. Her best friends Magda and Nadine, are pretty, popular, and are always braggging about their latest boyfriends. Its never bothered her before, but this year she decides to do something about it. She tries going on a diet, getting a glamorous new haircut, and buying a more sophistacated wardrobe but still the only guy she can attract is a nerdy, goofy kid named Dan. Dan lives a few hours away and is always sending Ellie these dorky love letters. At first Ellie just gets annoyed, but then she decides to pretend that Dan is her boyfriend to impress Magda and Nadine, but the Dan she pretends is her boyfriend is nothing like the real Dan at all because the pretend Dan is tall, athletic, nice, cute, and funny. So what would happen if Magda and Nadene found out? Would they not want to be her friend anymore? This book should be read by teenage girls everywhere. I could totally relate to Girls in Love. It was almost like the author was writing about my friends and me in certain parts of the book. Once I started Girls in Love I could not put it down, and I'm sure you would do the same.

Review: I've read alot of Jacqueline's books, but I must say this has been one of my favourites and I was very sad when it ended so I went to the libery and got lots more books by Jacqueline.I read the books by Jacqueline really quickly because I enjoy them so much.

Summary: Mmm, maybe....!
Review: Jaqueleine Wilson is fantastic. There's never been any question about that in my mind. And I'd also like to note that I'm a staunch believer in children's books not being censored. However, even my liberal mind was a little surprised. Most of the books scenes are fine and what I would expect from this excellent author. A parents death, irritating siblings, worries about the opposite sex are what I would expect for girls aged thirteen (the ages of the three heroines) But a couple of places in the book did surprise me somewhat. When one of the girls, Nadine, meets Liam, all three thirteen yea olds go to a nightclub where they are offered drugs (E's and whizz, in Magda's words) and Nadine even takes some "to relax her" to enable her to sleep with Liam (she doesn't.) I fully realise that, sadly, this is a world many thirteen year olds live in, but by writing about it this implies that it is normal. I do think if Wilson's heroines had been, say, sixteen, I would have been far more happy with it. Had I read this book at thirteen, I do wonder if I would have belived clubbing, sex, drugs and parties to be the morn in my age group. Hopefully not. But possibly some thirteen year old somewhere, might. The main reason WIlson's books are applauded is that they are realistic. I would reccomend any parent giving this book to a child to chat with them first and assure them that what the girls in the story do is not by any means what their peers do.

These scenes aside then, this book is excellent. The girls are realistic and strangely likeable. All in all it is a good story but unlike many of Wilson's other books, that is all it is. I did not pick up on any undercurrents of concern here. Give it t your child by all means and read it yourself - just be prepared for "But in this book.." comments!

Rating: 4 stars
