Not as good as the "Sisterhood" series, but once I got into it I enjoyed it.
The biggest problem with this book was probably that I am too old now. I can imagine how a 16 year old would feel but these girls were 14 and it was just a bit hard to imagine. I liked the story and the fact that all these sisterhood characters were in it though (Effie's still a bitch yay :D)
This was a wonderful for all those who loved The Sisterhood books. This is a trio of girls linked by the original sisters with the six degrees theory. Funny and bittersweet, it reminded me that I would NEVER want to be 14 again.

2-4 stars. I thought each plot from each person was really interesting. I liked how each realized that what they thought before, wasn't really what they thought it was. I liked how each person starts to grow, and weave together. I thought it was semi-cheesy and I really couldn't give any HUGE sympathy to the girls. It was an "if-if" book, and the part of having the previous sisterhood books, made it even cheesier. This is a good book if you really have nothing else to do.
It's impossible to evaluate this book without reference to Brashere's Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants series. Not only is the "Sisterhood" referenced in the title, but the Sisterhood itself figures in the story. In some ways, that's a good thing, serving to establish a setting with which readers are already familiar. In other ways, it's a bad thing, setting up expectations that aren't really fulfilled.
The first book of the Sisterhood is the story of a group of girls who have been friends since babyhood, and must learn how to continue their friendship as they spend their first summer apart. In 3 Willows, by contrast, the friendship among the three girls has started to unravel. Knowing what we know about the Sisterhood, the theme and resolution of this book, that old friendships are important even as we grow up, is somewhat predictable. Still, it's a good book, with each of the three girls well-drawn, sympathetic, and realistically written.

I like the world Ann Brashares creates, where everything is possibility and you can always learn something and find yourself.
