As a devout fan of Judy Blume's adolescent books, I was enthused to finally dive into one of her adult novels. Even now, Blume manages to surprise me by flinging the doors of reality wide open. Smart Women is a quick, eye-opening, and fun read. The characters are relatable, and the plot flows smoothly with just enough excitement. Also, the natural dialogue and the easy-to-follow changes in perspective added a refreshing quality to the novel.
I recommend this book to all young adults who have a close-minded outlook on the world (like myself ;P) and to the adults who know all too well.

Margo and B.B. are divorced mothers, libing in sun washed Colorado. They cope with it all, careers, loneliness, crises, new lovers, old lovers, their own and their childrens. Smart Women is tender and sexy, funny, sad and sweet, a stunning tour de force from the phenomenally successful Judy Blume.
