that discuses masturbation.
All of girls in the novel are white. I grew up in Queens, N.Y., in the 1980s in a neighborhood white families like Margaret’s left. Still, I related to Margaret because just like the girls in the book, my friends formed secret clubs, snuck peeks at our dads’ girlie magazines — how else were we to know what grown-up bodies looked like? — and looked up the word “sex” in the encyclopedia, searching for a definition we could understand.
The movie succeeds in inclusivity where the book fails. Margaret’s teacher, Miles J. Benedict, who encouraged Margaret to examine her relationship with God, is played by Echo Kellum who is Black. One of Margaret’s besties, Janie Loomis, is played by actress Amari Alexis Price.where the girls get dressed up for a classmate’s dinner party. Janie, who wears her hair in two adorable Afro-puffs, gets her hair pressed straight with a hot comb for the occasion.
