"Remember this, Precious Childโ€ฆ nothing matters but the moment. There might be no tomorrow, and even if there is, nobody gives a damn."


Well, I finally read my first Judy Blume book!

When I started Summer Sisters, I wasn't sure what to expect. Was it a YA? Was it a summer romance? A story about two best friends? In a way, it was a little bit of everything, and it kept my attention.

I sat down to read a few pages and flew through the first 100. It was a quick read that captured what it's like to be young on the cusp of adulthood. The Summer Sisters took me back to summers with my childhood best friend as we attempted to navigate growing pains, friendships, boys, our parents, and just what it means to be us. There's never been a time quite like that one.

Summer Sisters concludes in the "present day" as one of the two MCs is getting married. I didn't expect the ending we were given, but it made sense.
