Reviews
So here’s to women and girls continuing to discover this incredible woman’s work long into the future. Times change, trends come and go, but some books resonate, well, forever.
The 1975 novel might be barred from US schools and libraries, but it gets a hugely important telling here.
‘Forever’ is a sweet ode to first love (and L.A.) based on Judy Blume’s novel
Judy Blume skillfully and honestly portrays the challenges, experienced by all teens and young adults, of transitioning from holding hands to a relationship with both emotional and sexual responsibility. She informs her readers that a relationship can have real consequences without being condescending towards them.
