Book Review: Think Again by Jacqueline Wilson

The story revisits Ellie Allard, now navigating the complexities of adulthood with her daughter Lottie, her ever-loyal best friends Magda and Nadine, and a sense of feeling stuck in her routine. Struggling with an uninspired love life and the challenges of single motherhood, Ellie’s world is upended on her birthday when unexpected events push her to re-evaluate her path. What follows is a candid journey through the choppy waters of adulthood, filled with laughter, challenges, and the surprises life still holds.

Wilson expertly blends her signature warmth and humour into this adult-focused narrative, proving her ability to transition seamlessly from children’s to adult fiction. Fans of the original series will appreciate the nostalgic connections to Ellie’s teenage years, while newcomers will enjoy a relatable story of change and resilience.

Think Again is a life-affirming reminder that growth and happiness can come at any stage in life, offering readers both comfort and inspiration. As in all her work, Wilson’s ability to imbue her story with authenticity and heart is impressive. 

Overall, Think Again is a powerful reminder that it’s never too late to rediscover yourself, just as Wilson demonstrates it’s never too late to embrace new challenges and triumph in a completely different genre.
