Description

At long last, SSR tackles the infamous “Judy Blume sex book” — her 1975 YA novel Forever! On Episode 75, Alli and her guest discuss the way that the book portrays teen sex and informs readers about the importance of consent and safety. They also chat about the ways in which mixed messages about sex and relationships can inform the way a teenager makes decisions and the ways in which different kids react to the end of high school. Does Forever really deserve its reputation as the “Judy Blume sex book?" Listen and find out!The guest on Episode 75 is Emily Edwards, freelance writer and host of the Fuckbois of Literature podcast.

Each week, freelance writer and lifelong bookworm Alli Hoff Kosik will challenge a guest to reread a literary throwback or to experience for the first time ever a book they may have missed as a kid. After that, they'll be asked to spill all the feels and all the opinions about that book on the air for your podcast-listening pleasure. Every Tuesday, you can find us breaking down an old school read from our tween and teen days on a new episode of the show. We'll cover everything from The Baby-Sitters Club to Holes, Nancy Drew to Harry Potter. This time around, we're a little wiser (yay!), a lot older (ugh.), and of legal age to drink wine... so we'll have a lot to say. Happy Reading!
