Double Fudge' by Judy Blume is such a nostalgic throwback for me! The main theme revolves around family dynamics and the chaos that comes with younger siblings. Fudge, the little brother, is obsessed with money—hence the 'double fudge' pun—and his antics drive the plot. But what really sticks with me is how the book captures the exasperation and love in sibling relationships. Peter, the older brother, is constantly annoyed but also protective, which feels so real.
Beyond the humor, there's a subtle theme about materialism and values. Fudge's money fixation mirrors how kids absorb societal attitudes, and the way the family navigates his phase is heartwarming. Judy Blume always nails the balance between funny and meaningful, making kids laugh while quietly teaching them about life.
Reading 'Double Fudge' as a parent now, I appreciate its themes way more than I did as a kid. It’s not just a silly story About a Boy who loves money—it’s about how families adapt to each other’s quirks. Fudge’s obsession forces everyone around him to confront their own feelings about wealth, fairness, and even jealousy. The book doesn’t preach, but it shows how parents and kids can learn from each other.
What’s clever is how Blume uses humor to soften the lessons. The scene where Fudge tries to 'buy' a friend is hilarious but also a little poignant. It’s a reminder that kids interpret the world in their own weird, wonderful ways.
I’ve always loved how 'Double Fudge' tackles big ideas through a kid’s perspective. Fudge isn’t just a troublemaker; he’s curious about the world, and his fascination with money leads to conversations about value—both monetary and emotional. The theme of growth is everywhere: Peter learning patience, Fudge discovering boundaries, and even the parents figuring out how to guide their kids without stifling them.
The book’s lightness makes it easy to miss how smart it is. Like when Fudge creates his own 'Fudge Bucks,' it’s not just a gag—it’s a kid’s way of grappling with abstract concepts. Blume’s genius is making that feel like pure fun.

My mom taught me one important thing "Never trust anyone because they all leave when they're are done sucking you dry" And yes, that's how I ended up being a 24 year old single woman with no boyfriend, no girlfriend, no bestfriend but a shitty job and apartment.
Life was normal until I found the job at C&S Clothing as the executive assistant. It's not a problem to work for a gay couple right?
The problem is when the two sinister hot-as-hell bosses are the epitome of every fantasy you've had. Jared Scott and Hardin Calu were going to take me to an early grave.
Hardin Calu
I HATE WOMEN. I hate every fucking thing about them. That's why I was married to one and only man I had in my life. Jared! He was everything one could pray for. He saved me from my old self and turned me to a loving person. But fuck me, I was still cold and hard as ice. Everything that involved women made my skin crawl painfully. Their rosy scents and gloss-smeared lips, their tied skirts and slutty suits, fucking everything about them was a reminder of what happened. What made me scared.
Until the little Faith McChrystal walked into that office.
Jared Scott.
Money! Power! A good marriage! I had it all. Life was beautiful with my man. Hardin Calu! He was a loving husband who'd wake me up with breakfast, and a kiss on my head, who'd kiss every pain away. Who made me see the world differently. I was complete with him. Or so I thought!
Because a fucking nerdy chick walked into our office for interview and turned everything upside down!
Declan Callahan knew the instant he saw her at school: Evie McCarthy was his.
He claimed her with a sick obsession, married her, had a daughter—until the day he lost her forever.
Or so he thought.
Six years later, in the middle of her wedding to another man, Declan storms into New York Cathedral, snatches the bride from the altar, and throws her over his shoulder. Evie doesn't remember him. She doesn't remember anything. To her, he's just a dangerous stranger.
But Declan doesn't care.
He'll take her back to Dublin.
He'll imprison her.
He'll mark her.
He'll make her remember—even if he has to break her to do it.
Across the ocean, Harvey Prescott, the man who kept her trapped in a lie for five years, declares war. Two obsessed monsters. One woman.
Between fragmented memories, toxic desire, and an attraction she can't control, Evie discovers the darkest truth: she doesn't want to choose.
She wants both.
My mother sells special éclairs. Each one costs a thousand dollars, but the female customers fight each other to buy them. They look like they can't get enough.
My sister wants to take a box to share with her boyfriend when she sees how popular they are. However, my mother firmly rejects her. She says she's the only one who can touch those éclairs.
My sister refuses to listen. She secretly sneaks into the freezer in the basement. Then, in the middle of the night, I hear her wanton moans.
Flynn inherited his father's million pound chocolate business at 18 and is secretly gay. He's very far into the closet due to his upbringing and lives with two fears. One is that he will ruin his father's business and the other is that someone will work out that he is gay. Lucas, his new employee is the opposite. He's openly gay and very flirty. Or rather, he constantly flirts with Flynn. As time passes, Flynn finds it harder to pretend that he's not gay and that he doesn't like Lucas as more than his best employee. He's also been plagued by dreams that seem to be from his childhood where he made a promise with someone who feels like Lucas. Lucas' problem is that Flynn doesn't remember him and doesn't feel he deserves to be happy. Lucas' mission is to make Flynn happy, but it's going to be a hard one.

I was born Vanessa Montgomery.
But to be honest, I have always hated that name.
~
In a small fantasy world where loving your fellow gender is a crime that can get you arrested or worse, killed, Vanessa is asked to choose between going to jail or going to a home for 'getting better' and she might be a little bitch but she knew she would not survive a day in prison so getting better it was.
Except if she knew what she was getting herself into, she would have gladly ran to prison and kissed the prison guard personally.
In a place where each individuals name is changed into flavours that match their personality and are drawn to one another like magnets.
Would she able to ignore the attractions that come out from her in waves for them or would she find herself tangled in a web of madness that she would never be able to escape from?
WARNING: This is a polyamory/polyfidelity book with more than three characters having a relationship. There would be slight use of cuss words, mature content and basically everything that makes a book half smut and half fluff.
The heart of 'Superfudge' really lies in how it captures the messy, hilarious chaos of family life. Judy Blume nails that mix of sibling rivalry and unconditional love—Fudge’s antics drive Peter up the wall, but you can tell deep down he’d defend his little brother in a heartbeat. The book also subtly explores adjusting to change, like the family’s move to Princeton or the arrival of a new baby. It’s not just about the big moments, though; Blume finds humor in everyday stuff, like Fudge’s obsession with money or Peter’s awkward attempts at independence. What sticks with me is how relatable it feels—decades later, kids still see themselves in Peter’s exasperation or Fudge’s wild imagination.
One thing I love is how Blume doesn’t sugarcoat family dynamics. Peter’s frustration feels real, but so does his growth. The theme of 'growing up' isn’t just about age; it’s about learning to see your siblings as people, not just annoyances. The book’s genius is wrapping these deeper ideas in scenes so funny (Fudge at the dentist! The Thanksgiving disaster!) that you don’t realize you’re learning about patience or adaptability until later. It’s a comfort read that never talks down to kids.
