Deconstructed with Jayni in Lola Rose who does love her dad, but can't get away from the fact that he's very violent to her mother (and has threatened Jayni himself), despite frequently proclaiming how much he loves his children.

In the first book of the Girls series, Ellie falls hard for Kevin, an older boy she has seen around town but never really met or spoken to.

Ellie in the Girls series is described as overweight, and while her common sense can be questionable, it is shown several times that she is more intelligent than her two skinny friends, especially when it comes to meeting boys. Subverted in Love Frankie where, although never explicitly described as a lesbian, Frankie openly dates Sally for a while and firmly tells her family that she is only attracted to girls. As well as winning many awards for her books, including the Children’s Book of the Year, Jacqueline is a former Children’s Laureate, and in 2008 she was appointed a Dame. Nadine does this to Ellie quite a lot in the Girls series, a standout example being when Ellie points out how stupid it is to trust a guy online and he could be having creepy fantasies about her in a bikini, Nadine retorts that Ellie's just jealous because she's too fat for anybody to imagine her in a bikini - even worse when you consider Ellie struggled with Bulimia in Girls Under Pressure.

Reviews

In Kiss, Sylvie has always believed herself to be in love with Carl and believed he'd eventually return her affections. When he comes out as gay, she then has to deal with the fact that the future she envisaged for them isn't going to come true. Alpha Bitch: Justine in The Story of Tracy Beaker and My Mum Tracy Beaker, Kim in Bad Girls, Louise (she gets better) and Karen (she doesn't) in How to Survive Summer Camp, Chloe in Sleepovers, Rhiannon in Candyfloss, Skye in Cookie, Marilyn in Queenie, Sheila in Hetty Feather (who gets better by Sapphire Battersea.) Gina in Love Lessons and Eva in Katy are all examples. Sally from Love Frankie swings between this when she's around most people and Lovable Alpha Bitch when it's just her and Frankie. As the car sank under the waters of Lough Swilly, Mr McGrotty managed to pass his baby daughter out to Donegal man, Davitt Walsh who had swum out to the vehicle. Subverted in My Mum Tracy Beaker when Cam mentions attending a "ceremony" she went to involving two of her female friends, implying that it was their wedding. Played straight however with Cam seeming to develop a relationship with Miss Oliver, Jess's teacher, implied only through innuendos throughout the story. In the Girls series, this is a source of tension between Ellie's father (in his 50s) and stepmother (late 20s/early 30s.)
