Two 30-somethings try to find their way through the complications of post-marriage love in this beloved novel from number one New York Times best-selling author Judy Blume.

Margo and B.B. are each divorced, and each is trying to reinvent her life in Colorado - while their respective teenage daughters look on with a mixture of humor and horror. But even smart women sometimes have a lot to learn - and they will, when B.B.’s ex-husband moves in next door to Margo....

Includes a new introduction by the author.

Critic reviews

“Filled with good insights and great, quotable one-liners...Men are always asking what women like and don’t like, want and don’t want. Why don’t they read Judy Blume and find out?”—The Washington Post

“Emotionally satisfying...compulsively readable…triggers both laughter and tears...you’ll be utterly captivated.”—Working Woman

“Blume’s sensitivity to a child’s viewpoint elevates this book...the children are splendid in their richness.”—The New York Times Book Review

This author is just ahead of her time. She took a lot of hits for her books but they are always entertaining and fun to hear. So happy that she wrote some for grown up girls! Thank you, Judy. You will be sorely missed!

The foul language that did not help the story. it wasn't a little...it was overkill and nothing like I remember the author being like.
