This was a super cute read, I loved following all four girls! It was the perfect comfort read that I needed while recovery from wisdom teeth surgery 🩵 👖

I just recently revisited this series after buying the last book to accompany the rest in my book collection. Even though I've read it multiple times and know what's coming at each twist and turn, it still keeps me invested. Being able to come back to this book, and the sisterhood, felt like coming home.

The rating (4 stars) is from when I first rated it in Goodreads back in high school. I loved this series as a teenager, and enjoyed brushing off The Pants again as an adult. I’m not sure if my rating now would change because these books were so special to me as a child that it feels wrong to rate them less.
Carmen and Tibby’s stories were the most touching to me as an adult, and as a pre-teen reading this I think I longed for Lena’s story the most. Bee’s story broke my heart both as a preteen and as an adult for vastly different reasons.
There were parts of the book that were rough (the intro with the racist dog eating thing), and others that were so indicative of the time the book was written/published. Like Carmen’s dad picking her up at her gate in the airport. Such a bygone thing!!

Both times I read this story I came to the conclusion that Carmen’s dad is a dick (preteen me would say “jerk”), and that still stands. He’s a grown man that never mentioned proposing to someone??? Moving in with them??? In all the times he visited the DC area and saw Carmen??? What the absolute fuck!!!
Also Eric, what a scumbag. Truly what a gross dude. Yeah, he resisted for a bit but… then he didn’t. And it’s on him to keep that boundary. He’s the adult. Just gross.
