Our adolescent years are arguably the most defining ones, and the books we read during this time stay with us long after we've turned the last page. Whether they open us up to new worlds that change the way we see our own, unforgettable characters who shape our personalities, or moments that make us feel everything, our teenage reads leave their mark. This coming-of-age story from Jacqueline Wilson follows Ellie and her best friends Magda and Nadine, three teenage girls trying to navigate their way through the world, from friendships and family to school and romantic relationships. An honest look at the ups and downs of being a teenager, Girls in Love openly discusses grief, loss, love and everything in-between. The beauty of this story lies in the strong sisterhood of these three unique characters, in spite of their differences. Written by the award-winning online and print magazine, created by women and non-binary people of colour, I Will Not Be Erased is a space for these stories.
