The Book I Kept Reading as a Teenager.... - By: , 22 Sep 2004 
I read Just as Long as We're Together several times throughout my teens & still own itin my collection now, many years later. As with most of Judy Blumes books, it's a fictional story based on Steph who leads the life of a typical teenager & is tackling the typical problems a teenager faces - problems with friendships new & old, boy issues, puberty, divorse & a tiny bit of world peace. Judy Blume has written lots of books aimed at kids, teenagers & adults all of which are close to reality & all help inform & educate the reader. This book was definitely my favourite. Well worth a read, or two.
An extremely valuable worthwhile and cool read - By: , 23 May 2003 
It's a classic tale of friendship but totally modernised & not at all boring - with quirks & ebbs & flows - basically with the Judy Blume touch. It's a Judy Blume book & if you appreciate her other works such as 'It's not the end of the world' & such like, you will undoubtedly like this one.
Personally, I think the main character Stephanie a beautiful character & its just a really enjoyable read. From someone that seems to be livingin the mind of a teenager.
Its especially good for teenagers, although I think it has a timeless appeal to all ages.
I thought this book was fantastic. - By: harriet@tenthire.co.uk, 01 Apr 2002 This book is about three friends who do a lot of things with each other until Rachel falls out with Alison,the new personin the street & Steph. Steph & Rachel had been best friends for years until Alison came with her dog & says that it can speak! This book tells you the things that can happen with friendship & boys. Will the friendship survive? Read it & find out!
Boring teen friendship/romance storyline. - By: , 13 Feb 2002 
After reading Judy Blume's sensitively written,emotional & dramatic story, 'Tiger Eyes', I wanted to read more of her books, but I found 'Just as Long as We're Together' a total disappointment. The basic storyline being about three teenage girls & their little friendship & boyfriend problems, I found this book boring, dull & unoriginal. The only serious issues addressedin this book are briefly mentioned family seperation/divorce problems. The teen friendship/romance thing has ben done too many times before!
5 stars - By: miztli.cadena@talk21.com, 02 Aug 2001 This book has been very well written. it discribes what fun it is to be a 13 year old girl as well as the many problems of being 13 too. This book is not at all superficial & is written to fit the average kind of girl.when stephanie has two best friends things are great at first. Towards the middle of the book that when you get all the problems of having two best friends, secrets are being kept from eachother.All three three of them have a leval of secrecy & confusion & lies. but stephanie has the biggest secret of all. the book is topped off with the humar with funny lines & catchy comments. This book also has a deeper meaning which judy blume explores thoroughly. This is a very good book!
