Summary: My favorite book in the whole world!!!
Review: I'm 19 years old and this has been my favorite book for as long as I can remember. It helped me through my junior high years because I felt as if the main characters completely understood what I was going through. I still read it every now and then as a "comfort book" because its themes of friendship and enduring change have never grown old to me. The characters are instantly likeable because they are so realistic, and Judy Blume could not have captured the early adolescent's mindset better. I think every girl should read this book as part of her coming of age process, and every woman, for that matter, because no one is ever too old for the heartwarming (but not sappy) and honest themes they'll find in this incredible book. I read it again and again! :-)

Summary: A Good Read
Review: I am 19 now, but I read this book when I was about 11 or 12. I think it is a good book, because it deals with realistic subjects. It involves stories on how friendships grow and change, and things that go on when you first hit puberty. It is more realistic than the Babysitters Club or Sweet Valley Twins, because those girls are never concerned about anything personal, like feelings about their bodies or getting their first period. Anyway, it is a good read for a preteen.

Summary: Congratulations, Judy!!!!
Review: This book and its sequal rank right up with the Baby-Sitters' Club books! What a wonderful, realistic view of female bonding and friendship as well as growing up. This book could well be a classic a hundred years from now. The girls are as courageous and honest as the girls in the BSC and deal with realistic situations like puberty, entering middle school, divorce, being a math whiz, body image, school teasing, arguements and more. Judy is to be commended for being able to climb into her characters' minds and make the reader feel as if she's really in the main character's head. I love her first-person accounts. Keep it up, Judy!

Summary: "My favorite book in the whole world!!!!!!!!!!!!"
Review: I loved it. It was so touching...so sweet...but also totally realistic. The sentiment of this book ran really deep and I laughed and cried at the same time throughout the book. Although it made me cry, it's not sappy at all. It's really genuine. I can totally relate to Rachel, Allison and Stephanie. They aren't perfect people, but they share the same concerns and feelings that I do, as well as any other normal adolesent girl. I may not be in the exact circumstances as Stephanie, Rachel, and Allison, but I've also had trouble with friends before and this book helped me see all three points of veiw (even though Allison didn't narrate either of the books "Just as Long as We're Together" or "Here's to You, Rachel Robinson", I could still understand how she felt.) Thank you for writing my favorite book, Judy!

Summary: This was the best book I have ever read!!!!!
Review: This was a great book. It was defnitely Blume's best. It is a great book for young teens who like to read about other girls their age. This book is about 3 girls who are about 12 years old. They are all best friends. Stephanie, an over- weight girl suffering from her parents spliting up, she is also very jealous of her best Rachel who is just prfect in everything is the main charector in this book . The 2 girls have been best friends since second grade. But then Stephanie makes a new friend, Alison, and now they are all best friends. Then Stephanie and Rachel get into a big fight because Rachel thinks Stephanie chooses Alison over her. They may become friends again at the end but you should read the sequel, "Here's to You Rachel Robinson", as well, to find out. This is a great story of friendship and of girls growing up. I highly segest it to people 9 to 18.

Summary: A GREAT, TERRIFIC, WONDERFUL BOOK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Review: I love this book! I think It's so amazing that Judy Blume knows so much about what's going on inside a teenage girl's head. I can definitly relate to Stephanie. Like her, I also have two best friends. Like her, my parents also are divorced. This book shows exactly what it's like for kids who's parent's are getting divorced. It's also about growing up, friendship, and dating. A must for 12 or 13 year-old girls, although I don't think 9 or 10 year-olds would like it as much.

Summary: This brings up such sweet memories!
Review: I remember reading this book when I was in elementary school. Back then I was such a book worm and I have read everything Sweet Valley Twins to The Babysitters Club. But Just As Long As We're Together was my all-time favorite. Judy Blume really knows how the teenage mind works! It's an amazing book and I recommend it for all little girls.

Summary: As Tony the Tiger says, "There GRRRRRRRREEEEEEEAAAAAATTTTTT"
Review: This is a great book! I read this in 2nd grade, and I loved it! Rachel is Stephanie's best, since second grade they have shared all their secrets, good and bad. So when Alison moves in, Stephanie really likes Alison. After all, they have even more to share now, including seventh grade and Jeremy Dragon, the cutest boy in junior high. Even though the three of them live in a quiet Connecticut neighborhood, there's a lot going on there lives. Stephanie wishes her father didn't go to work so far from home and she worries that Rachel's talents will get in the way of their friendship. Rachel and Alison have to deal with the changes in their own lives, yet Stephanie is sure everything will work out fine- "just as long as we're together..."

Summary: A Great Book
Review: This is one of the best books I've read, although I don't think a 9 year old should really read it. It's more like something for the Junior High age girl. That is mostly beacause of the content of the book and the fact that the characters are Junior High age. I would like to compliment Judy Blume though on writing such a fantastic book. I definitely give it 5 stars.

Summary: Blume blossoms young women ("okay...")
Review: The book is very well written, and you can tell that Mrs. Blume relates in earnest to the types of experiences featured in the book. (transcription courtesy of reviewer's blossoming older brother)
