  2. "#JudyBlume, the acclaimed #author of young people’s #novels, saw resurged interest in her work in 2023. One of her most famous #books, Are You There God? It’s Me, Margaret, hit the big screen as an acclaimed feature-length #film; that same year, Amazon released a #documentary about her, Judy Blume Forever.
