Like most of my friends, I loved Judy Blume as a kid/teenager. So, I was excited for her new book, In the Unlikely Event, to come out and even more excited when it finally came up for me on my library waitlist. I started it the day I picked it up. I really enjoyed this story that Blume framed around three plane crashes that actually happened one summer in Elizabeth, NJ, her hometown. While I don’t usually, I liked the jumping around from character to character and I liked the way they all tied together. And, I also liked that Blume didn’t entirely tie the ending up in a sweet little bow. This won’t make you want to fly anywhere this summer, but it was a good read.
