TL;DR Summary

Judy Blume, the author of "Are You There God? It's Me Margaret," has been running a nonprofit bookstore in Key West with her husband for the past seven years. The store has become a popular destination, attracting more tourists than locals. Blume, who has sold over 80 million books, is currently enjoying renewed interest with the release of a Hollywood adaptation of her breakthrough novel and a new documentary. She has challenged many taboos in her writing, leading to frequent challenges and complaints from censors. Blume insists that her books are personal and intimate, not meant to be read aloud in a classroom.
