Product Description
Katherine and Michael meet at a New Year's Eve party. At once they're attracted to each other, they grow to love each other, and after one or two failed attempts, they make love. Their relationship becomes intense and exclusive. Katherine, usually very close to her parents, finds that she just can't discuss Micheal with them. However, her grandmother turns out to be much more sympathetic and, indeed, highly practical when she suggests Katherine should go on the Pill. With their future together all planned, Kathertine eventually confronts her parents. But they insist that she and Michael put their love to the test of a long separation. For Katherine it's a time to reflect and wonder if their love really is forever...

i'm not speechless because it was a fantastic book, in fact, as most of Judy Blume's books are, it was easy to read, written in a simple, easy and fairly patronising way. What i like was the fact that Judy Blume wasn't scared to really describe sex. Many adults and teenagers feel embarrassed about this subject and i think that its good that there is a book out there telling the complete and utter truth.
This book handled many subjects that are still confusing for teenagers today even though it was written 25 years ago. The obvious subject was love and relationships, but also, drugs, alcohol, pregnancy, contraception, sex, friendship and depression.
This book is about Michael and Katherine falling in love, they take their love to the furthest level and then they are forced to spend a summer apart..........
This book does not end how you want it to do, but very realistcally.
Worth a read.

When I first read this book it was controversial as it was a book for teenage girls that described sex explicitly and from the perspectives of a teenage girl and boy experiencing their first sexual relationship. At the time I was going through the same experiences as a teenager and really valued the book as something to relate to. It sympathises with teenagers when they really feel they have found "the one" and how this feels for the first time. It deals with issues of peer pressure, virginity and STI's and I think every teenager should read it. Great for parents to give to their teenage daughter to avoid embarrassing talks! It's also a really good story and guaranteed to make you cry at the end! We've all been where Katherine has! Heading for 22 now I really look back and value this book!

I first read this book when I was 15 in Mrs Price's Home Economics lesson! By that time 40% of my class had read the book, by the end of the school year about 75% of our year had read the book. It is a fantastic book for girls of that age, when forever really does seem like it means forever! It's a great coming of age book and after 2 years of hunting for it (it has such a simple title but I couldn't remember it!) it really was worth the wait....even now I'm 23!! A book you could read over and over again and reminice about with your friends as they all should read it!

Wasn't what I expected as a story...
The story line seemed to be a bit all over the place and seemed to jump forward loads. Nothing exciting really happens so was an average read. Read more

Judy Blume - Forever
I read this book at the age of 13 and it had quite the impression on me, its so much like true life. I purchased it for my teen to read, and predictably she was engrossed in it. Read more

Great Coming of Age Book
I first read this in 1980 when my school had a 'private' stash of books for the 4th and 5th year (year 10-11) girls. Very appropriate for that age group - back then anyway. Read more
