My Guilty Pleasure

Judy Blume Showed Innocence Isn't 'Forever'

by J. Courtney Sullivan

Even in an age of sexting and online porn, Blume's 1975 teen novel is still considered controversial. Writer J. Courtney Sullivan says she picked up Forever... for the scandal — but she stayed for the feminist lesson. At its core, the novel is about young women who make responsible choices — and have sex on their own terms.
