I didn't read Judy Blume as a kid growing up, but I did read Summer Sisters in high school (Judy Blume for Adults!), while I don't remember that exact plot line from that book I do remembered I liked it because I owned a paperback of that book until recently (I moved cross country and books had to be purged).

I liked this book and I have been in a book slump of not being able to read or finishing a book, so I was excited when I borrowed this from the library because she was safe and prose is simple. But what bugged me most about this book was all the characters. I started having a hard time keeping track and I then just focused only on the family of the main character towards the end. The action and the pacing of the book does pick up around 2/3rds in but I was going to plow through for the characters I was interested in, which meant when headings for certain characters appears, I quickly scan to see if anything major to the plot was happening and moved on.
