Whatever happened to beloved Girls series characters Ellie, Magda and Nadine?
They're all grown up now - but if they think they know what's coming, they'd better think again...
Adulthood isn’t quite what Ellie Allard dreamed it would be when she was fourteen years old. Though she’s got her beautiful daughter Lottie, her trusty cat Stella and life-long best friends in Magda and Nadine, 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 poky little flat.
But this year on her birthday, it seems 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.
Bringing the same warmth and humour to an adult novel as she does to her work for younger readers, Jacqueline Wilson finally answers the questions fans have been asking for years in this uplifting, life-affirming story about friendship, family, and finding fulfilment in unexpected places. This audiobook features an exclusive interview between Jacqueline Wilson and narrator, Carrie Hope Fletcher discussing their creative processes, and how it felt to revisit these beloved characters as both author and narrator.

'Enchanting, moving, meaningful, fun - thank God for Jacqueline Wilson!' - Alice Winn

YES! my favourite characters with mature themes
I was so worried this wouldn't live up to what I wanted but I'm so happy it has! Jacqueline, please continue! Yes the narrator isn't the best but if we rate it poorly there won't be any more.
We deserve more adult themed Jackie Wilson!

Loved it
It was so lovely to be able to hear about where Magda, Nadine and Ellie ended up. Jacqueline Wilson will always have a special place in my heart, her storytelling is second to none. Really enjoyed this, and it was performed beautifully, exactly how I expect Ellie to sound!

Nostalgia!!
Loved this book. I’d have liked it as a stand alone girly book but the nostalgia of the characters that I already knew and loved all grown up was magical. I would LOVE if this was a series. I need to know where the girls’ new lives take them!

Lovely to relive the world
So bizarre and beautiful to be back in the world but the narration is really difficult to listen to. It’s like she’s reading the book for kids. Really irritating.

Such a shame
I'm a few hours into this audiobook and finding Carrie Hope Fletcher's ridiculously posh, out of character voice for Magda completely unbearable. This is completely against her entire character in all the other books and seems like a strange choice based on one comment about Magda using a posh voice over the phone. A real shame as her other characters are very likeable. I also started listening to her narrate The Secret Garden but found her Yorkshire accent offensively bad and gave up.

A lovely recap to a cherished childhood collection
Easy listen, recommend recapping the ‘Girls In’ collection beforehand so you’re refreshed on the characters. A few plot gaps (Gary was called Guy previously!) but an easy story with well loved characters.
Took a few chapters to settle into the narration as some of the accents were a bit off the mark.

highly recommend
I have loved the previous stories and did worry what this might be like as it has been such a long time but I loved it. I especially like some little nods to other books that the author has written. the characters have kept their personally but you can see how they have grown up
great story and great narrator, again I am quite particularly about narrators but great job. easy to listen to.
Really enjoyed listening to this, highly recommend.

Nostalgic but doesn't translate
I loved Jacqueline Wilson as a kid but her distinctive writing style doesn't fit these adult themes. A predictable storyline and I found Ellie annoyingly immature at times. Great if you fancy a blast from the past but not a super strong adult novel.

(Spoiler alert) Promising, but let down by errors
I was intrigued by this idea, as the Girls books were among my favourite Jacqueline Wilson books.
It is good to hear what's happened to the girls now they are older, and I'm pleased that they aren't just the same people as before. The story is interesting, though a bit repetitive at times; this is a plot point, but it gets a bit tiresome. I couldn't help getting hung up on the continuity errors, which unfortunately seem to occur in many of Wilson's books these days. In Think Again, we hear Mr Windsor's name is Gary, when it was Guy before, and we hear that Ellie's childhood toy elephant was given to her daughter and is still very important, when in the original story the elephant was thrown away when Ellie was young. The beginning of the Girls' friendship is also misremembered by the author.
Maybe this is rather a negative view, but I think it is important to keep track of the history of your characters if you are going to revisit them in the future. I would be interested in hearing more about Wilson's characters as adults.
