I really don't know how to feel about this book tbh. But I understand why it's banned/challenged a LOT and the significant contributions Blume made to the YA genre. It's a work that openly discusses and depicts (as realistically as someone can) safe sex, birth control, Planned Parenthood (which doesn't kill babies @ Republicans), and teenagers being, well, teenagers, so I won't hate on it too much.
