Featuring the characters from the Girls series as adults, Jacqueline Wilson chronicles a life on the cusp of change in a story about making the most of the unexpected.

Being an adult isn’t quite what Ellie Allard dreamed it would be when she was fourteen years old. Though she’s got her daughter Lottie, life-long best friends in Magda and Nadine and her cat Stella, her love life is non-existent and she feels like she’s been living on auto-pilot, just grateful to be able to afford the mortgage on her flat.

But this year on her birthday, the universe seems to decide it’s time for all that to change – whether Ellie wants it to or not. As she navigates new and often choppy waters, she’s about to discover that life will never stop surprising you – if only you let it.
