The Second Summer of the Sisterhood

This is The Second Summer of the Sisterhood by none other than Ann Brashares; it is 416 pgs. ( It may seem like a lot but once you get into it you'll wish there was more) This book follows yet again the infamous quad of best friends- Carmen, Lena, Bridget ( Bee), and Tibby. This is the girls 16th summer as friends and their second apart. So the girls break out their pair of magical pants to keep themselves together throughout their summer. Upon their reuniting they will once again document on their pair of pants and put them away until the next summer (Or when they need them). This summer is full of Adventures.

Lena is trying to stabilize herself after her boyfriend, Kostos, cuts it off with her. And just when she thinks she can get over him, he pops back up into her life.

Carmen's mom starts dating again and Carmen is NOT happy. When her mom keeps going on dates Carmen is starting to think her mom is more like a teenager than her mom. She want her to herself.

This summer Tibby goes to Virginia to a film program. Tibby is still trying to get over the death of Bailey who had a major impact on her life during the first book. During the time she is making her film her boyfriend pays her a visit and stays in her dorm for awhile.

This summer is a major one for Bridget (Or Bee). Her mom died when she was really little so she jets off to Alabama under a different name to visit her Grandma on her mom's side. She gets a job working at her house and learns a lot about her grandma. Her grandma knew who it was the whole time despite the 15 pounds she gained from her normally very fit figure (she stopped playing soccer for awhile) and her newly died brown hair from her lovely blonde locks. When she stopped by the soccer field, she saw some of her old friends and falls back in love with soccer. The whole time while learning about her mom and closing some gaps. This is definitely a summer that Bridget will never forget.

I loved this book. And how couldn't you. The author is once again very brilliant in her writing style. The book jumps from character to character and keeps you guessing throughout the whole book. I love each and every character and feel as though I know them. I get emotionally attached to each character and can't wait to turn the next page to find out what will happened to them next and the end is very sad because you what to know what happens after the book. And I think that all girls will love this book. But I would only recommend that girls over the age of 12/13 read this book. Again, some situations are a little too much for some younger readers. But I do recommend it. It is a story of an unbreakable friendship that can outlast anything. Go pick it up, you'll be glad you did.
