While many adults might be horrified by the idea, it is reality for many teens, and a frank discussion of concepts like birth control, consent, commitment, the evolution of relationships, and sexuality as just as important as when they were written about in 1975. Judy Blume uses her signature ability to discuss taboo subjects with honesty, this time examining the desires of teens and their choices to begin having sex. What does this mean about loving someone forever? What does this mean about her? As Katherine explores these thoughts and feelings, she begins to understand what it means to mature and open yourself up to the world of love. Katherine finds herself developing feelings for another boy. Then they spend the summer apart from one another. They cannot imagine living without the other. They are wholly committed to each other and even end up losing their virginity to each other. What is forever? What is true love? Katherine and Michael met on New Year's Eve and it felt like their love story was one that would pass the test of time.
