I haven’t read this book/ series in over 10 years. I must say that the age gaps are a lot more alarming to me now.
Read this while in college and loved it, even though it's for pre-teens
Listening to this as an adult made me appreciate it so much more. A lot of this book didn’t make it into the movie, and that’s a shame, because Brashares tackles some serious problems that teen girls face. Excellent book, all around.
I’m FLYING through these. The Fourth Summer of the Sisterhood was excellent. Lots of great examples of the highs and lows of friendship, and what it means to show up for the ones you love. I’m sad that I’m almost done with this series! :(
I'm not really sure what to say about this book. I feel like everyone knows it is about 4 friends during a summer of their life. It definitely brought me back to feeling like a teenager, some of it was too real for me. I read for escape. I have the second book so I might read it to see where their story takes them. I think I wished the girls would have been 17 and not 15.
"Bridget felt that Molly would make a good grandmother someday. It was too bad she was only twenty-three."

This is the story of a pair of pants that look amazing on 4 best friends, despite their size and shape. Since they look so great on each of them they decide to mail the pants to each other so that they'll all have the pants at least 2 times during the summer while they are a part for the first times in their lives.
I expected the story to be superficial and silly but found a lot of realistic depth in the story. Each of the four girls faces something difficult during the summer. Lena goes to Greece for the summer and has to deal with the consequences of a rash judgement; Tibby stays in their hometown and befriends a young girl with cancer and learns about relationships and what is really of value in life; Bridget goes to a soccer camp and finds unanticipated consequences of her manic pursuit of Eric, one of the counselors at the camp; and Carmen goes to spend the summer with her father only to discover he is getting remarried and has a "perfect" new family and has to learn where she fits in.
I loved that the girls are not perfect and do not always react the way that they should, in fact none of them do, but they learn and grow. The pants connect the girls to each other, as do letters but for the most part they are on their own for the first time.

The first book is my favorite and overall a very enjoyable series.
