Being a teen is messy and confusing. I grew up with a single dad and when I turned about 12 he gave this book to me. Mostly so he wouldn’t have to explain puberty to me, but also because he wanted me to have something to relate to. I hold this story very near and dear to my heart. Judy Blume has helped foster entire generations of kids into reading, but has also given many an awkward teen a life line. She treats adolescence with the type of respect, but also tongue-in -cheek humor, it deserves. If God is listening, I hope he hears every teenage girl's prayers, because they need his help the most. I definitely did.
