This was such a trip down memory lane. I've been a Jacquline Wilson fan for years and being able to re-visit Ellie, Magda, and Nadine in Think Again after so many years and with them all being 40. 

I will say that the plot thoroughly shocked me as I did not expect Ellie
to fall pregnant while at university and then have a relationship with Mr. Windsor! 
Part of me wishes for a sequel as
Ellie and Alice only getting together in the final chapter was TORTURE.
 

 Ellie, Magda, and Nadine are just as I remember, just a little older and trying to navigate themselves in the world. It felt right to read a book about them all being adults and still trying to figure lift out, since life did not end when high school did.

I was given this book for free and wasn’t sure about it based on the first few chapters I read but I read a few other books and then came back to finish it. I actually read Jacqueline Wilson’s ‘Girls’ book as a child so was interested to finish this as it’s a continuation with the main character and her friends now being in their 40s. 

I thought it was a very easy and simple read about being an empty nester, single motherhood, dating again, friendship and life overall which was sweet. I’m so glad Ellie dumped Guy (should have done chapters before) and admitted her feelings to Alice (should have done chapters before). Fairly predictable that Ellie was not quite straight but again very sweet story. Would recommend and don’t think you have to have read the first ‘Girls’ book before this one. I did and can’t remember anything from it but still enjoyed ‘Think Again’.
