This month #FriendsPick and #ReadBannedBooks
#Read2025
Finished this one earlier in the week, my second for August‘s #AuthorAMonth #JudyBlume. The library audiobook became free & so I listened to it & really enjoyed the reread. I must have read this book a bazillion times growing up & it all came back. Perfectly captures growing up in the late 70s-early 80s for me & all those things—bras, periods, boys & friendships & all the questions & angst they bring.
We love a book bringing attention to OCD👏🏻 and not just the stereotype most people think of.
A touching YA with a good reveal.
Mum said, “It‘s his Masonic apron. You know, that huddly duddly, pulling up one sock, I‘ll scratch your back if you scratch mine sort of thing.”
Low pick; the narrator Greg was almost insufferable but I was definitely Team Earl! Read for the Banned Book category of #AsheCoNCReadingChallenge #Aug2023 Book77
