I can neither remember how old I was the first time I read “Forever” nor how many times I’ve reread it since. What I can recall about reading Judy Blume’s seminal 1975 novel for the first time is that — even as a millennial girl growing up in the early aughts — it made me feel less alone with my questions and desires. In the novel, Katherine details falling in love for the first time with her boyfriend, Michael. Katherine spares no detail.

This piece includes spoilers for “Another Simple Favor.”Nothing about “Another Simple Favor,” the sequel in the unfortunate and unnecessary “A Simple Favor” franchise, makes sense. But, to be fair, the 2018 film didn’t have that much going for it either. The main draw for the original movie, which is based on Darcey Bell’s novel of the same name, is the unexpected pairing of Blake Lively (and her striking wardrobe) and Anna Kendrick.

Dance has been a consistent influence in the shows created by Amy Sherman-Palladino and Daniel Palladino. From the glitter-throwing kids in Miss Patty's annual recital to the prominent role of the musical in the Gilmore Girls revival to the plot of Bunheads, a short-lived show about teen ballerinas, to the burlesque performances in the award-winning The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel, it's easy to see how Sherman-Palladino was shaped by her past as a trained dancer.

Still looking for 1-2 people to talk about the tv and movie moms that have shaped them. Email [email protected].
Do you have a movie or TV mom who has meant a lot to you in your life? For me, it’s Lorelai and Call the Midwife, and they are even more important to me since my mom died. Email me at [email protected] if you want to tell me about the female characters who have shaped you.
I absolutely loved A Nice Indian Boy. The story combines elements of both the American rom-com and the Indian Bollywood film to create a new and much-needed type of love story. It's a must watch. https://t.co/AaLPMImTAr
Snow White is a strange, hot mess, but my daughter is still probably going to love it, so I’m not really sure that its messiness matters. https://t.co/Tx1VigXvgE
