Just As Long As We're Together By Judy Bloom: A Book Review by Sophie J.


Since second grade, Rachel and Stephanie have been best friends. But when Alison Monceau movies into their quiet Connecticut neighborhood, everything gets shaken up. Stephanie really likes Alison, and really wants for the three of them to be best friends, especially because they are all neighbors. But Rachel isn't so sure. Rachel is afraid that Stephanie likes Allison more than than her, and gets quite flustered. And of course, it doesn't help that so much is going on in all of their lives at the moment. Stephanie finds out that her parents are getting divorced. Stephanie and Rachel find out Allison's mom is the famous "Gena Farrel," and that Allison has a talking dog! After a while, Rachel gets quite mad at Stephanie and Allison. This is mostly because she is so jealous and is still convinced that they like each other more than her. She ends up saying some mean and personal things to them, and really hurts their feelings. Can their friendship be saved?
