“My daughter said, mother, couldn’t you write a book about teenagers who fall in love and do it, and nobody has to die?” Blume says of her famous book Forever… in the trailer. “I grew up as a good girl with a bad girl lurking inside. So by the time I started to write, I really had lot to get out. I could be fearless in my writing in a way that maybe I wasn’t always in my life.
