'A great coming of age story, definitely worth a read as a teenager - wish I'd found it sooner!' - Reader review
After decades in print, Forever remains a brave, honest account of first love, first sex and first heartbreak. From Judy Blume, author of Are You There God? It's Me, Margaret.
Do you remember the first time?
High school seniors Katherine and Michael met at a New Year's Eve party. The attraction was instant, and pretty soon they were seeing each other. This is love, and love is forever – right?
When Katherine's parents make them spend the summer apart, forever begins to feel like an awfully long time . . .
Forever is still the bravest, freshest, fruitiest and most honest account of first love, first sex and first heartbreak ever written for teens. It was a book ahead of its time – and remains, after fifty years in print, a teenage bestseller from the award-winning Judy Blume.
A book ahead of its time, Forever is a classic bestseller from an award-winning author.
