3.75 AVERAGE


Probably would have enjoyed it more when I was 13, haha.

What a beautiful book..

and a beautiful message

I read this book because I thought it might be an entertaining YA book to pass the time until my pre-order of another author arrived. I thought realistically, the pants probably would not have been passed all summer, SOMEONE will get lazy and it would not be a priority or lack of funds would prevent the forwarding of the pants.

I feel a lot of different ways about this book. Tibby’s portion of the book was so incredibly profound. It was such an amazing idea and so well executed. Carmen’s plot was also alright. There were times where it was really strong and times where it felt phoned in. I’m still kinda pissed at her dad though. I will say the whole thing at the end with her step brother almost ruined her whole plot line for me. Then there Bee and Lena. Both of their plot lines felt like after thoughts. They were so boy centric and I feel like I don’t know either of them as characters whatsoever. They were so poorly developed, especially Lena. Also those pants needed to be washed, I could not stop thinking about how bad they must smell by now.

If this book was entirely Tibby’s POV 5 stars. But with the others stories added in, 3/5 stars.

This is one rare instance where I'll say the movie is better than the book (blasphemy, I know)!

A fun YA story that I think is intended for a younger YA audience. Still very much enjoyed the ride as an older adult. :)

I cried over both deaths

i really liked this book.

my friend and i would add in additional emotions and sometimes act some of the story out. when we added our own stuff we would say 'footnote' which meant that it would go at the bottom of that page.

I really enjoyed it because it dealt with everyday things that girls feel.

its a real chick flick book.

I love the friendship of these girls and the book itself.

Dunno why I'd never read this series before, but I absolutely loved the first book and now I have the urge to watch the movie again.
