The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants has been a series that has surprised me. I went into it thinking it would be a light fluffy summer read and end up loving it so much and really feeling like it spoke to me. I have been putting off finishing the series because I knew this was a side story that didn't feature any of the main girls from the main series. My hesitation was proven accurate. I didn't connect with these girls as much as the first group, I'm not sure why. I enjoyed the story, but it just didn't have the "punch" that the others had for me.

That being said, I did enjoy the idea that the original Sisterhood kind of took on a mythical status in their hometown/school among younger girls. That was an interesting perspective that I could definitely see actually playing out. The themes of sisterhood and self discovery were still very strong and definitely the saving grace of the story.

Overall, this series will stay as an unexpected favorite and hold a special place on my bookshelves for years to come. Maybe, someday, if I have a daughter, I will pass these on to her to enjoy when the time is right.
