crabbygirl reviewed Deenie by Judy Blume (Laurel-Leaf Library)
Review of 'Deenie' on 'Goodreads'
3 stars
another for the GD summer challenge, this is a re-read for me.
it was pretty much as i remembered except this time i could see the foreshadow of the scoliosis from the first 2 pages, and the mother character really grated on me from the start. and i forgot how nice the sister reacted. someone over at Girl Detective noticed that Blume's books always have a nasty mother, but there's always a good relationship between the fathers and the protagonists so i really noticed that as well. i wonder how Judy Blume's mother took that - every mom a mild sort of witch (but maybe i'm reading too much into that - teenage girls always have a rocky relationship with their moms and that's one of the reasons why i loved Blume books - she got me)
