Dame Jacqueline Wilson, DBE, FRSL (born 17 December 1945) is an English writer of children's literature. Because her novels commonly deal with themes as adoption, divorce and mental illness, her work has been called controversial because her readers are young. For her lifetime contribution as a children's writer, Wilson was a UK nominee for the international Hans Christian Andersen Award in 2014.

Wilson is the author of many book series. Her Tracy Beaker series, inaugurated in 1991 with The Story of Tracy Beaker, includes three sequels and has been adapted into four CBBC television series: The Story of Tracy Beaker, Tracy Beaker Returns, The Dumping Ground and The Tracy Beaker Files. In February 2016 will mark the 25th anniversary of Trace Beaker, Wilson will also release a book called The Story Of Tracy Beaker: 25th anniversary.

Girls in Love is the first book in the Girls Quartet. This book is about Ellie, a girl starting the ninth grade in London. She is all ready to start ninth grade with her two best friends, Magda and Nadine. Right before school starts, like always, her family takes a trip to the cabin in Wales. And surprisingly, Ellie finds a guy, Dan, that like liked her. Only Bad part, Ellie doesn't really want him for a boyfriend for many reasons. A nickname like Dopey Dan, isn't really what she wanted. When she gets home, she discovers that Nadine has a boyfriend! A tall dark and handsome one, that surprisingly looks like he would go for Magda and not Nadine. And suddenly, everything in Ellie's life turns in to misery. She's lying to her friends, She is getting tacky love letters from Dan, Her dad and Anna ( her step mom) are always arguing, Eggs (her brother) is being annoying as usual, she misses her mom and she wishes she was thinner and could fit into something great. One night, at a party, trouble starts with Ellie, and no one could save her. Her rescuer come! Oh my its dopey Dan!

Girls in love is an awesome book! Its basically a diary of what happens daily in Ellie's life when everything happens so fast. I really enjoyed this book because every girl can relate to either Magda, Nadine and Ellie. I love how this book was written because at the end of each chapter, Ellie makes a list of something new about her, like her role models, he favorite partys etc. Also, since Ellie was from London, she used different words than what we use so I really liked being able to see how people in London talk, I recommend this book for teenage girls because younger girls might not get most on the content, and guys would most likely loose interest because it's a girls life so I think most girls could really get into the book. Sometimes it seems like your reading a page of you life!

5.0 out of 5 stars A Combination of Fun and Fiction
Reviewed in the United States on April 11, 2003
An enthralling story of three girls, this hilarious novel by Jacqueline Wilson focuses on the finer points of teenage life in present day England. Told through the eyes of a fourteen year old girl, the reader gets an inside look at her thoughts. A talented artist, Ellie, the narrator, talks mostly about her two best friends. One of them is Magda, a striking blonde full of self-confidence, who is boy-crazy and fun loving but sometimes oblivious to serious situations. Another friend is Nadine, a thin, gothic kind of girl who is cynical but also good natured and at times, quite gullible. All these talents and faults of three girls make "GIRLS in love" one great read. I throughly enjoyed the way the author went into interesting detail and the found the humor in every situation. It cleary paints a picture for the reader about what goes on in these girl's everyday lives and what Ellie's thoughts are about everything they go through. Once I began reading, I could not put this book down. Unexpected events happen to the girls, such as Nadine meeting a mystery boy who turns out to be a total jerk, and Magda meeting her usual slew of boys who are all different from one another. As the book begins, Ellie is on her annual torturous family vacation, where she meets a complete nerd boy who falls for her immediately. He later visits her at her home, which takes the book in a whole new direction. I was impressed with the way Jacqueline Wilson described the fast paced emotions that go through a girl's head on a daily basis. I would recommend this book to mainly girls, unless there are boys who are interested in learning about a girl's mind. Anyone who reads this book is in for a great laugh and an excellent story.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great for Teens!
Reviewed in the United States on July 8, 2002
Girls in Love is an awesome introduction into the world of these three characters. Ellie, Magda and Nadine. They are all freshmans in highschool, and all...dateless. Until one day, Nadine confesses to having a boyfriend. Ellie (main character) starts a lie that goes way to far. Farther than she wanted it to go. She didn't want to seem like an out cast. How far did it go? And did Ellie confess it was all a lie? Read this book to find out! I recomend this book because it tells about true love, and how you shouldn't have low-self esteem. One of the characters gets used by an older boy and doesn't realize it until the end...when her friends come to the rescue!

Loved this book full of energy and a proper teen drama, though is aimed at older children as one character has an older boyfriend, the book discusses peer pressure (night clubs) expectations (alcohol) and (relationships)
Along with growing up worth a read perfect humour and a light spin on serious topics

This series of total four books just seems to be childish or teeny but believe me its so intense and serious. Actually the wonderful author paints the emotions of teen age girls their relation eith family, friends, boyfriend etc so brilliantly that one can only awe how she managed to pen down these feelings.

Mi ero sopravvalutata per quanto riguarda la lingua originale, non tutti i contenuti sono stati a me comprensibili. Grande rapporto qualità prezzo, in quanto questi sono 3 libri in 1 al prezzo di uno in libreria.

「ブリジットジョーンズの日記｣少女版とでも言えばいいでしょうか。思春期の女の子の本音がリアルに描かれています。
カレシが欲しい。もっと痩せたい。数学が嫌い。体育はもっと嫌い。
大好きな友達にも見栄を張って嘘をついてしまう。
・・・自分探しを必死でしている時期の脆さや繊細さが痛いほど伝わってきます。
現役少女のひとにも、元少女のひとにも絶対に共感できることと思います。
それほど英語は難しくないので、原書初挑戦の方にもおすすめです。

It was a really good read but I do recommend it to teens and older, I enjoyed the book and am probably going to get the other books in the series :D can't wait to read the others! If you see this review do read the book its really fun and exciting and a bit embarrassing in parts as it your really there, it brings you into the story as it your really in it thats one of the reasons I like it so much and I think lots of others would like it as well.
