melissa_withthelonglastname 's review for:
The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants
by Ann Brashares
I will always love this series for what it brought to my life. Rereading it as the mother of a nearly-15-year-old daughter was a trip. ;)
That's the first thing that jumped out at me. Bee is not the only motherless girl in this group. They all care for each other as the other three moms seem completely checked out of their daughters' lives. It's probably a plot device, but the absence of parents was glaring on this re-read.
I think my favorite thing is that Brashares shows us the worst versions of the girls before we even have a chance to like them. She asks us to trust that they are all good and kind and loyal...just because she says so.
