Judy Blume's Forever is the story Kathryn Danziger, a high school senior who's about to experience her first sexual relationship with her "forever" boyfriend. The last thing I expected was for such a book to be boring. But it was. Boring. Right down to Kath's visit to the New York offices of Planned Parenthood, where she was asked and answered a perfectly predictable litany of questions.

Overall: why bother? I've read other books by Judy Blume and had far more positive reactons.
