The first book that I read for this blog was surprisingly not an Austen book (although I am currently working my way through P&P). Forever, by Judy Blume was a novel published in 1975 and is considered to be controversial due to its issues on sexuality and "the pill."
What I found most endearing about this book was, in fact, its openness about sexuality because every teenager can agree that sex is something that they think about. The fact of whether you agree with sex before marriage or not should not determine your conclusion to reading this book. In fact I found this book helpful because it was realistic and portrayed what can happen when your are in a sexual relationship. All in all a good read
Rating on a scale of 1 to 5? A good solid 4.
