On this week‘s episode of my book podcast, my guest Laura Taylor Namey and I deep dive a Judy Blume book that was new to both of us, IT‘S NOT THE END OF THE WORLD. It‘s Judy‘s so-called “divorce book,” so it inspires all kinds of conversations about the evolution of tough talks with kids over the last 50 years. Listen at the link in my bio!
I was the only 4th grader in my school whose parents divorced when I was ten (back in 1975). To me (and everything revolved around “me“ of course back then), it was the end of my world. Then my mom got me this book, and it saved me in all the best ways possible. Now they're both gone and what wouldn't I give to have them back. They both ended up best friends. 💙🖤🩵

While reading this book tonight with my stepdaughter, I couldn't help but react to this line. It struck a chord with me that I don't let many people in on. 😕
