Little Darlings is a 2010 children's novel by the bestselling British author Jacqueline Wilson.
Synopsis
Destiny Williams is an 11 year old girl living on the Bilefield Council Estate with her mum, Kate. Sunset, aged 10, is living with her rockstar dad and ex-model mum, Suzy, as well as her two siblings, Sweetie and Ace. Destiny has grown up knowing that she is the daughter of a wild rock star, Danny Kilman, who happens to be Sunset's dad. Destiny learns about her apparent sister, Sunset, and longs to live Sunset's lifestyle. However, Sunset would give anything not to have celebrity parents; she hates all the attention and drama. Danny gets a girlfriend and they run off together, and Suzy feels upset and angry and starts drinking. Just when everything seems wrong, the girls meet by chance, and their lives may change forever.
