In this poignant and heartfelt tale by Sally Nicholls, Abby faces the challenges of adapting to life with her dad's new girlfriend, Jen. Despite Jen's genuine kindness and affection towards Abby, the young girl struggles to adjust to the sudden change in her family dynamic. Abby's initial discomfort arises from the fact that Jen's compliments feel insincere and overwhelming, creating a sense of claustrophobia. She finds it difficult to express her feelings to her dad, as Jen hasn't necessarily done anything wrong.

As the story unfolds, Abby grapples with her conflicting emotions and the need to find a way to communicate her true self to her dad. Through conversations with her friends and introspection, she begins to understand that her discomfort with Jen's niceness stems from her own insecurities and fears of abandonment. Abby realizes that she needs to confront her own issues and work on building a stronger relationship with her dad.

With the support of her family and Jen's understanding, Abby gradually begins to open up and build a more genuine connection with her dad's new girlfriend. Jen recognizes the importance of respecting Abby's boundaries and allows her to develop at her own pace. Through their interactions, Abby learns to appreciate Jen's kindness and the positive impact she has on her family.

In the end, Abby emerges from this journey with a deeper understanding of herself and the importance of communication. She realizes that change can be difficult, but with open hearts and willingness to listen, it is possible to navigate through the challenges and find new ways to connect with those around us.
