Here's To You Rachel Robinson * Judy Blume
#1: I finally tackled the sequel to our beloved Just As Long As We're Together!
I'd forgotten how forward and somewhat in your face Judy Blume can be with harsh subjects and the adversities of growing up. It's good stuff, and needs to be said & read, I just soon forget it's coming and get semi-shocked/scandalized as I read through it...
It was awkward to see things from Rachel's perspective after a lifetime of re-reading Stephanie's view. However greatly insightful, as she has her own mess of issues to deal with this go round.
I'm admittedly a sucker for simple romantic notions & stories of puppyish love/discovery, so the underlying storyline of the older guy Paul, intermixed with the ever elusive Jeremy Dragon had me rifling through the last half of the book...
*giddy grin* I just love adolescent fiction!
