APPLE BOOKS REVIEW
Beloved author Judy Blume redefines the coming-of-age novel with this tender story of two middle-aged women navigating life after divorce. Architect Margo and realtor B.B. became friends while rebuilding their lives in Boulder, Colorado, in the early 1980s. Margo gets a second chance at romance when a new neighbor moves in next door, but the promising new love interest happens to be B.B.’s ex-husband. Told through the perspectives of Blume’s two heroines and each of their teenage daughters, Smart Women is hilarious and tragic at the same time. Blume offers a refreshingly honest glimpse into the giddy joys and crawl-into-a-hole embarrassments of mother-and-teenage-daughter relationships. Perhaps best of all, the novel is a treasure trove of early-’80s nostalgia, from Jazzercise classes to MTV-era pop stars.
