A review by christinecasey
Deenie by Judy Blume

4.0

Like many others, I was introduced to this book when, after years of slowly watching my scoliosis get worse, it was decided that I would have to wear a back brace my sophomore year of high school. At 15, you can imagine I thought my life was over. School, dating, soccer, gymnastics... This book was a subtle comfort and reminder that life would go on. I remember reading lots of Judy Blume's other novels (i.e. Freckle Juice, Margaret, Tales of a 4th grade nothing, Blubber), but this one had passed me by until the moment I needed it.
