, it's written for adults, but still has that wonderful honest quality of her novels written for kids and young adults. I basically devoured it in under 48 hours.

I Thought I was the only one" sense of my C.S. Lewis quote from yesterday.
Also, for a truly summery Judy Blume read, check out Summer Sisters when you finish this one.
