When I started reading this book I was finding it difficult to separate from the books of Wilson's I read as a child. But once I got more into it, I found it wasn't so childish as it seemed to begin with.

I read about 200 pages today & that is often the best way to read novels, in big chunks. 
A story about a woman who's just turned 40. Has a 20 year old daughter & is very self sufficient. Finds she wants more in her life, love and a relationship. She meets a new friend, who she's clearly attracted to from the start. And meets a person from the past she embarks on a terrible relationship with that genuinely made me feel so uncomfortable, I had to keep reading to know what was going to happen. 
A good read, but be ready for some odd and uncomfortable topics.

While it was an easy read, I didn’t gel with Think Again as much as I thought I would. Ellie is unbearable, and so are most of the characters. It doesn’t work as an adult novel unfortunately. It felt forced, overdone and cringe-worthy.
