'Forever' Review: I Fell Head Over Heels in Love With Netflix's Irresistible Judy Blume Adaptation
Mara Brock Akil brings Judy Blume's classic novel Forever into the digital age with an irresistible new Netflix adaptation. Read our review.
Judy Blumewrote about preteens like no other. The author wasn't afraid of getting into risqué territory, with her novels addressing themes like sex and menstruation with an ease that was unheard of at the time they were published. Her raw outlook on the coming-of-age experience led to some of her books even getting banned across the country. Forever — one of Blume's classic stories — may have been initially released in 1975, but just last year it was removed from public school libraries in Utah.
