For the record, the Are You There God, It’s Me, Margaret movie is wonderful. So true to the spirit of the book, the performances are delightful, and, yes, I did squeak and point when I spotted Judy Blume on the screen.
🎬 Eleven-year-old Margaret moves to a new town and starts to contemplate everything about life, friendship and adolescence. She relies on her mother, Barbara, who offers loving support, and her grandmother, Sylvia, who's coming to terms with finding happiness in the next phase of her life. Questions of identity, one's place in the world, and what brings meaning to life soon brings them closer together than ever before.
📝A really sweet, uplifting and feel good story about growing up, societal expectations, and peer pressure. I absolutely loved it. There is no violence or hate in this movie, just a simple story about a girl with lots of questions. I loved it and I highly recommend it. It's now available on Amazon Prime.

And another one, everybody. This one is incredibly personal to me. I have to admit I cried harder watching this scene than Henry’s apparent death (he just forgot to tell everyone he got into another plane, silly guy)
I spent three months studying in England before I dropped out after weeks of mocking my accent, the way I write or that I’m strict and not fun at all. I had so many questions, I just wasn’t sure why all that happened. I rewatched this scene recently. First time after going back home- and it felt like all the doubts and emotions from back then were finally out into actual words. So this scene really does the job for me
