We're on a holiday break, but we're re-releasing one of our favorite bonus episodes, all about Judy Blume's cherished novel, "Are You There God? It's Me, Margaret."
Having both missed out on this gem in our tween years, we unpack the novel's continued relevance. This deep dive sheds light on the book's educational value in navigating the roaring tides of puberty, the quest for religious identity, and the tug-of-war of familial relationships.
We feel this movie adaptation is a perfect movie to watch over the holidays with family of all ages. It's truly an all-time great adaptation.
Enjoy this re-released episode, and we'll be back with more content in two weeks! Merry Christmas & happy holidays!
