This is clearly a classic coming of age story for a reason! I had never read it and am glad that I did.

Here we go, at 27 I finally read my first Judy Blume book. It was quite the experience reading this as a woman who has been dealing with her period for 15 years now. I was surprised by how excited these girls were over getting it which was something I had never experienced and I laughed when they said it doesn't hurt. Overall, this book was so packed with horomones I feel overwhelmed. However, this book was honest and deeper than I was expecting. It stayed very true to the experience of puberty as a female and I wish I had read this book back then.

This book is definitely for 10-14 year old girls. While I think it touches on a lot of interesting topics that are very prevalent for preteens, Margaret often comes off as kind of mean and judgmental. In a lot of ways I think that is the self centered nature that comes with being around that age but as I read more of this book it became more and more grating. 2⭐️
