3 Willows: The Sisterhood Grows (Sisterhood, #4.5)
by Ann Brashares
I enjoyed this book. Ann Bra shared is wonderful at creating these unforgettable friendships. Things that would have made it even better?
* if Brad here's had left out the storyline connection to Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants. It wasn't necessary. This book could have stood on its own. Because of this connection, I ended up disliking Effie from the Pants series.
* I liked the willow tree motif, but felt the. quotes and anecdotes between chapters seemed a bit forced. They were not nearly as good as the quotes Brashares used in the Pants series.
* I felt that in the skipping around of the stories, not enough of the stories was told. This book felt sparse in a way.
Things I was pleasantly surprised about-
* Brashares making one of the characters black. I found the aspects about Ama's hair true for a black girl. At the same time, there were moments when I felt I couldn't tell what color Ama was, and I liked that because most of our stories are universal.
*even though it started out as a middle grade book, it is clearly intended for older middle grade. She got the voice and perspectives right in that regard.
