![]() ![]() I give this book a 7/10 because through all its faults it was a good read, and one of Wilson's few enjoyable ones for older readers. A brilliantly gripping wartime story from the bestselling, award-winning Jacqueline Wilson. begin, and will change Opals life for ever. ![]() a suffragette Opal’s world is opened to Mrs Pankhurst, and the fight to give women the right to vote. ![]() Though there were flaws in this novel, for example, Opal Plumstead (main character) acted like an 8-year-old instead of a 14-year-old, she had childish thoughts and ideals, the 'romance' in the story was very undeveloped at the start (of the romance itself, that is), it happened suddenly and I do understand that love does happen like that sometimes but it does not happen in the way it was presented in the book, like she only started having feelings of love for that person at some point in their relationship, and whatever relationships she has with men (that are not at large age older than her) seems to be romantic as if there is no such thing as men and women being friends. Opal Plumstead might be plain, but she has always. I'm not going to lie and say it was the best book of the year, or my favourite book or that I was not bitter when first reading the book but it was able to make up for itself at the end and was able to prove a better novel than many of Jacqueline's previous books about similar subjects of rejects, and girls going from poor to rich ('worse' to 'better'), it had romance, tragedy, and happiness. Though I had few expectations of this book, it was a surprisingly interesting, funny, sad, and well-written book. ![]()
