A classic coming-of-age story that explores the challenges of adolescence, family dynamics, and the pitfalls of sudden wealth.

In Then Again, Maybe I Won't, Judy Blume, the beloved author of Are You There, God? It's Me, Margaret, tells the story of Tony Miglione, a thirteen-year-old boy living in a cramped New Jersey home. When his father's invention catapults the family into sudden wealth, Tony finds himself navigating the unfamiliar world of luxury living on Long Island.

But newfound riches bring unexpected problems. Tony's grandmother struggles to find purpose without her cooking duties, while his mother becomes obsessed with impressing the neighbours. As Tony grapples with anxiety attacks and wishes for a return to normalcy, he realises that the seemingly perfect boy next door is hiding secrets of his own. The only bright spot in Tony's new life is Lisa, the neighbouring girl who undresses with the light on.

In this poignant and relatable novel, Blume masterfully captures the complexities of growing up, the impact of social status, and the importance of staying true to oneself in the face of change.
