There is also a deeper narrative running through this book as Tilly slowly comes to terms with the fact her mum left. Indeed, I found a tear in my eye as I read the conclusion in which Tilly finally deals with this experience and begins to move on. The ending is one of hope but, as with Jacqueline Wilson's other books, this isn't the happily ever after ending that Tilly has clung to throughout.
