I don’t think it would get such a high rating if it wasn’t for the nostalgia! Fun to revisit the world and I found I believed that the teens from the OG books would’ve turned into the adults presented here (although Magda was disappointing tbh). Also - he’s called Guy, not Gary?!?!
Anyway, I liked it, the characters were still lovable and I mostly bought the story, apart from the creepy cousin. Some things were just a bit too on the nose perhaps.

Before getting my hands on a copy of Think Again I read the original Girls series and did find Ellie to be an annoying and overreacting narrator, I thought it was because she was 13 but that voice carries through even now. Ellie is a bit annoying, overreacts, and is a bit simple with her behaviour and responses. However, in true Jacqueline Wilson fashion, everything is a bit obvious and predictable and then feels a bit rushed in the end, with some plot lines not getting fully resolved.

But nevertheless it was an enjoyable read, although I’m not sure I’d pick up another of her adult fics but we’ll see…

Mostly, this rating is based on mems and nostalgia.
