This is from the British Big Read list, which contains quite a few of Wilson's books. She writes children's books geared toward pre- and early-teen girls. This is another of those.
Girls in Tears is about a ninth grade girl and her challenges with friends, family, and her boyfriend. Wilson is a great writer and draws you in, but this isn't my favorite just because of the content. Some of the main worries (like how far to go with boyfriends) seem too old for a 13-year-old girl. I wouldn't want my kids to grow up that fast!
It is a super easy read that is done really quickly, so it is probably worth the time. I wouldn't recommend it to particularly young readers, though.
