‘Forever’ is a sweet ode to first love (and L.A.) based on Judy Blume’s novel

I’ve never personally read any books by Blume, but I have come across reviews, summaries of “Forever…”, and Reddit discussions where people reminisce about secretly sharing this book during their school years – Blume, who was already a renowned children’s author due to “Are You There God? It’s Me, Margaret,” paired with the allure of sex made for quite the popular read among adolescents in the mid-70s. Interestingly enough, I can confirm that in both the novel and the series, one character nicknames his penis Ralph.
