But when she starts seventh grade and finds out that she and her best friend, Rachel, aren't in any of the same classes except gym, Stephanie has more to worry about than boys. A new girl, Alison, moves in; she's a welcome new friend, but her presence alters the relationship between Steph and Rachel. For the first time, Rachel has secrets from Steph. But worse, Stephanie accidently learns that her father isn't in California on business, but that her parents have separated, and that her father has a girlfriend. She even suspects her mother of having a "fling." The relationships within the storyamong the three friends, and between Steph and her parentsare complicated, and Blume handles this aspect realistically and with great ease. The plot resolution, though carefully handled, is curiously flat. Despite this weakness, the story is lively, moves quickly, and captures the nutty, poignant world of very young teenagers. 3231118 book 1986 Just as Long as We're Together total:1754|5:655|4:606|3:405|2:80|1:8| 1754 7082 2146 178 529345 0440210941 9780440210948 132 18 4.04 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1175560214m/529345.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/529345.Just_as_Long_as_We_re_Together 5 2 false Tue Jul 01 13:12:02 -0700 2008 Tue Jul 01 14:28:24 -0700 2008 more...]]> 37731 0330398040 9780330398046 1524 145 4.04 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1168979441m/37731.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/37731.Just_as_Long_as_We_re_Together 4 0 false Fri Nov 01 00:00:00 -0800 2002 Mon Jan 19 16:41:28 -0800 2009 Mon Jan 19 16:55:35 -0800 2009 more...]]> 37731 0330398040 9780330398046 1524 145 4.04 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1168979441m/37731.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/37731.Just_as_Long_as_We_re_Together 5 0 false Sat Sep 26 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Mon Oct 26 18:39:05 -0700 2009 Mon Oct 26 19:04:40 -0700 2009 There were three main characters Stephanie, Rachel, and Alison.

I've never read a Judy Blume book before, and now I'm kicking myself that I didn't read them as a 12-13 year old.

Saw this at the library and had to see how it would be 20+ years later. Still great! JB has such a wonder way to tell stories that work for kids and grown ups.
