About this listen

Decades after it was written, Forever remains a brave, honest account of first love, first sex and first heartbreak. From Judy Blume, author of Are You There God? It's Me, Margaret.

Katherine and Michael met at a party. The attraction was instant, and pretty soon they were seeing each other. This is love, and love is forever – right?

When Katherine's parents make them spend the summer apart, forever begins to feel like an awfully long time . . .

A book ahead of its time, Forever is a classic bestseller from an award-winning author.

Critic reviews

So here’s to women and girls continuing to discover this incredible woman’s work long into the future. Times change, trends come and go, but some books resonate, well, forever. (Polly Dunbar)
The 1975 novel might be barred from US schools and libraries, but it gets a hugely important telling here. (Rebecca Nicholson)
‘Forever’ is a sweet ode to first love (and L.A.) based on Judy Blume’s novel (Robert Lloyd on the Netflix adaptation of 'Forever')
Judy Blume skillfully and honestly portrays the challenges, experienced by all teens and young adults, of transitioning from holding hands to a relationship with both emotional and sexual responsibility. She informs her readers that a relationship can have real consequences without being condescending towards them. (Amazon reader)

Even when I first read these books, they weren't new. Yet, they have endured, and I can see why. So powerful and honest.

So beautiful
