Customer Reviews

Judy Blume…

I think I hyped this book up too much. It was judy Blume. I thought it was going to be the best. And it just… fell short. Good. But very highschool story plot

OMG! This book is still around

I read this book years and years ago and I'm surprised it's still available. Very realistically written about the thoughts, and choices young people face as they come to maturity. I probably will buy this book and re-read it as it is one that has stuck in my mind for a long time. Not many books do but this one did.

Forever

Awesome book

GReat coming of age book.

THIs is a wonderful book for incredible girls getting ready to date and realizing that their first love isn’t always the best. It’s a realistic book about young romance and the journey through it.

Best Book Ever! Favorite!

One of my favorite books ever, such a beautiful well written book. 100% would recommend to buy and read.

Excellent Read

I didn't know of this Judy Blume book until I was an adult. I love Judy Blume's books, so I ordered this one. "Forever" follows a female high school senior who falls in love and begins exploring her sexual side. But will their relationship survive after high school graduation?

a very good book

i thought this book was well written, had a good story line behind it, a must read for anyone at any age....

I liked it. Well written.

This was a well-written book with a poignant message about young love. It is true to life. I would recommend it for anyone starting high school. It would help young teens to understand that feelings change and love doesn't last forever - but that's life and it's ok. The bittersweet ending was real, rather than fairy-land.

My favorite book!

Judy Blume portrayed teenage sex in a beautiful way. She wrote a novel that showed that teenage sex is not always a regretable experience. So many books today just focus on the negatives of sex, yet this book provides some of the positives. Blume also brings in information about safe sex, which is important as well.
