I can't say there was anything remarkably special about the Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants but there wasn't anything glaringly terrible either. It was enjoyable, the characters were developed and unique, and the structure—one scene per girl then on to the next—helped keep the story moving in a way I haven't seen in too many books lately. There is such a trend toward lengthy, complicated scenes that draw out over 10-15 pages so it was nice to breeze through scenes that only spanned a page or two, three at most.
It truly was the simplicity and ease of this story that I enjoyed. I will definitely dig into the second book, at some point.

Maybe because I’ve seen the movies and I liked them so much, maybe why I didn’t like the book. I did like how short it was though.

This book was such a great book, it really made me realize that being a reader is worth it. It wasn't a particularly sad or funny book but it's essence was just pure "girlhood." It was very relatable and the characters were all pretty loveable (except at one part when I was really frustrated with Lena). It's a quick read and great to get out of slumps (which I desperately needed).
