The other day we got the first images for Are You There God? It's Me, Margaret. and speculated that the trailer wasn't going to be far behind. It turns out that was the truth. Today, Lionsgate released the first trailer for the big-screen adaptation of the Judy Blume classic novel. The time of life that the book explores and infamously one of the most dramatic and life-changing for teenagers, and the reason the book has prevailed throughout pop culture as long as it has is the honesty with which it approaches its subject matters.

It's been a long time since I've read the book, but this trailer for Are You There God? It's Me, Margaret. It is taking me right back to being that age and begging the universe for a sense of normalcy. There isn't anything more universal than that.
