But honestly, Jacqueline Wilson, you just had me really bored. I'm sorry to say it so bluntly, but I really do need to explain my highly questionable action of not actually finishing a book. Rent a Bridesmaid is a book telling the story of Tilly, a young girl whose biggest dream is to be a bridesmaid. When her best friend Matty gives Tilly her very own bridesmaid dress, Tilly takes the opportunity to put her bridesmaid skills to the test, advertising her bridesmaid services.One more side note: Wilson's books contain A LOT of descriptions about food and what the child characters are eating, so it's usually sweet things. And this book is about weddings. And baking. I tend to read these books before and after I've eaten, so I'm already full up by the time these huge food portions show up in the story. It is thanks to this that, ironically, I may have lost my appetite as of this moment. Or at least my sweet tooth. EDIT: Part of my 2023 clear-up, of books I no longer like, or am no longer interested in, or remember well as standing out, or find as special anymore, or I otherwise will not miss. She's just herself. Suppressing her creativity is unhealthy. It will only make her worse. Let this child be.

She has written over 70 best-selling books, and several have even been adapted for TV – most famously The Story of Tracy Beaker. Her signing sessions attract huge crowds of fans and last for hours! Over 25 million copies of her books have now been sold in the UK alone. Flood, Allison (4 April 2020). "Jacqueline Wilson reveals publicly that she is gay". The Guardian.

With a great, plausible premise for modern England - a little girl working as a "bridesmaid-for-hire" for various weddings (well, three at the moment) - and lovely, believable, and relatable and flawed characters and scenarios, 'Rent a Bridesmaid' is delicious fun. I felt this one was a little slow to get going, but the story itself is as touching as any of Wilson's finest work. Jacqueline Wilson is one of those rare authors with the ability to write a children's book that adults can easily read as well as children without becoming disinterested. From an adult's perspective, I still found this book to be incredibly heartfelt and emotional. Perhaps even more so than a child would find it as many younger readers would subconsciously gloss over the subtle nuances of mood and character, focusing instead on the main theme of friendship. Either way, Rent a Bridesmaidis a joy to readand is sure to be another success for Jacqueline Wilson. Eyre, Hermione (2 October 2005). "Jacqueline Wilson: 'Why does a girl in my book snog a teacher?
