The Second Summer of the Sisterhood

Rating:
Summary: great book
Review: I really enjoyed reading this book. It was a great sequel to the original, The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants. What makes this book so unique is the fact that there are four main characters unlike most books with only one main character, so the reader can really connect with at least one of the characters. The four main characters are Tibby, Carmen, Bee, and Lena, who are four teenagers that are true best friends. Each girl is going through something different than the others. Tibby is working on a movie for classes that she is taking during the summer, Carmen is at home and babysitting, trying to make some money, Bee went to see her grandmother that has wanted to see her, but her parents did not want her to go, and works for her grandmother without telling her who she is and why wshe is there, and Lena is working and misses Greece, where she went the previous summer, and misses her ex-boyfriend back in Greece. In the first book, they find a pair of pants that fits all of their different body shapes, which is amazing, so they start a sisterhood, or secret club, and during the summer, they send the pants to each girl for about two weeks. In the sequel, they are all changing and growing older and they are sending the pants to each other during the summer. The significance of the pants, are that they are a part of each girl, and hold certain memories that are special to each girl. One of the rules of the pants is that they cannot be washed, because all of the girls wrote on the pants, to help remember each occasion in them. This is truly a wonderful book, but you would deffinitely have to have read the first book to understand this book. I would particulary recommend this book to teenage girls, because they, like myself, would be able to relate to the characters the best.

Summary: a great read
Review: this was a good sequel to the sisterhood of the traveling pants.. Tibby is off to film school which is pretty interesting. Carmen stays home and gets in a huge fight with her mom about her new boyfriend.. she is my least fav. character. Bridget goes to her grandmoms to find herself and gets back into soccer, meets an old friend but doesnt tell anyone who she is till later. And lena.. has broken up with kostos because of distance but he comes to visit and they have a hot romance.. BUT you wont BELIEVE what is in their way.. personally i really liked kostos and their romance and i didnt like how lenas story ended :-(.. but all in all it is a good book.. however make sure you read the first one before you read this.
