Judy Blume

A Time Best YA Book of All Time (2021) Judy Blume’s groundbreaking novel about first relationships, first love, and…the first time.The bed is brass, covered with a patchwork quilt, and “nice and firm,” Michael says, “in case you’re interested.” Katherine is interested. Katherine and Michael are in love, and Katherine knows it’s forever—especially after she loses her virginity to him. But when they’re separated for the summer, she begins to have feelings for another boy. What does this say about her love for Michael? And what does “forever” mean, anyway? Is this the love of a lifetime, or the very beginning of a lifetime of love?

"I enjoyed this book and what their story had to offer. Read this in about 3 and a half hours. Great read for teen love/ first love type of romance and a reflection on what it teaches you in life and relationships with people. I was upset with the ending but ultimately understandable to the situation. I still recommend to read this book. Would be great for people who are just getting into mature reading. "

"a psa for teenage love"

"SO GOOD! Read it in a day -about 5 hours. It was narrated in a way that reminded me of my 16 year old self & my thought processes. The ending shattered my heart in many ways, but was (almost) perfect closure. I definitely recommend this for 16+ y/o’s because of strong sexual discussion, some cursing, and some drug & alcohol use. 10/10 would read again 💛"

"Loved it when I was a teen."

"the ending made me kind of upset, but makes you think about relationships and how your first love teaches you lessons you’ll use for the rest of your life, and how forever may not be forever after all…"
