Forever... by Judy Blume

from Zero to Well-Read · host Book Riot

You never forget your first. Rebecca and Jeff revisit Judy Blume's classic young adult novel about first love, losing your virginity, and the thrills and fears of growing up. They discuss what made Forever... radical in 1975 and why it's still being banned and challenged today, what's timeless and what hasn't aged so well, and why every teenager should read a book like this.
