On a little quest to read books I think I'd have liked at 15 at the moment for some reason, and who better than Jacqueline Wilson for that
I'll be honest the way the characters act is really odd, one minute its like they're five and the next they're like 78 ('Dear Sister') although I suppose I was a bit up and down at that age too.
Obviously, I'm not the target audience so it did seem a bit childish but it was sweet all the same, I definitely would've loved this if I was 15 again, its lovely how much more accessible lgbt books are now even compared to when I was a teenager
Also I really hate how Wilson's books always seems to include some sort of older teenage lads after the younger female characters like 'hehe ooo isnt she so flirty after a year 11!' Like no omg thats a 16 year old after a 12 year old, its really gross
