An adult novel from the iconic, much-beloved household brand, Jacqueline Wilson, revisiting Ellie, Magda and Nadine from the Girls series, now aged 40. If they think life's done surprising them - they'll have to think again...

Being an adult isn't quite what Ellie Allard dreamed it would be when she was fourteen years old. Though she's got her beautiful daughter Lottie, life-long best friends in Magda and Nadine and her trusty 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 poky little flat.

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