Girls in Love

Girls in Love by Jacqueline Wilson is the first book in the beloved Girls series — one of the most popular and emotionally honest young adult series in British children's literature, from the former Children's Laureate and one of the most widely read authors for young people in the United Kingdom. Wilson's particular gift is her ability to write about the inner lives of teenage girls with a honesty, empathy, and lack of condescension that makes her books feel genuinely validating to her readers.

The story follows Ellie, a thirteen-year-old who is worried about being the only one of her friends without a boyfriend — particularly as Valentine's Day approaches. While Ellie is convinced she is too big and not pretty enough to be desirable, her friends Magda and Nadine have very different attitudes and very different experiences with boys. As the three girls navigate their complicated feelings, Ellie begins to understand that self-worth is not something that comes from outside.

Wilson writes with characteristic warmth, authenticity, and emotional intelligence, creating a story that speaks directly to the insecurities and joys of early adolescence. Girls in Love has resonated with millions of young readers who see themselves in Ellie — and find in her story the reassurance that they are not alone. The first of a series that gets richer and more complex with each instalment.
