The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants by Ann Brashares

3.0

---

I remember liking this okay. I don’t remember reading the second one. I didn’t ever have any friends so reading about friend groups always made me sad. I was more of a solo protagonist or family dynamic kind of reader. I also don’t remember how the soccer romance was handled in the book but I fully stopped the movie over it due to my own trauma. I know these topics can be handled properly and I hope it was but I will probably not be rereading this even though I very very very much remember reading about Lena in Greece. Omg. That was my dream growing up. Going to Europe and literally falling in love with someone I shouldn’t? YES PLEASE. And then the fat out of place stepkid thrown into a perfect family for the summer… that one really really really hit home. I don’t remember the other two very much but honestly I think if I just skip all of the soccer camp stuff I could really enjoy this book.

Please let me know if the man in the book handles her properly bc it was so uncomfortable in the movie.
