We all remember out first, right? Mine was Just As Long As We’re Together when I was 12 or 13. I remember being excited because we sang that song, Side by Side, in middle school chorus. Then was Are You There God? It’s Me, Margaret, not too long after. Summer Sisters was my first “grown up” Judy Blume book, read on a beach vacation while I was in college. There is no one else that writes like Blume. There’s such realism and relate-ability in her novels. Her work is blunt and honest, but in this wonderfully poetic way. It’s impossible not to read her and think that she’s one of the best American writers of the past 50 years. So, when I heard she had a new book coming out, I was all in. In The Unlikely Event is the perfect summer read for these already hot as hell days.
