Summary: Total Spring Break on the Beach Book.
Review: I was totally hooked into this book from the first word. As a huge fan of Judy Blume since childhood, I was so excited to see an adult novel by her. I really loved it. I think it's the perfect book for the beach and those lazy days in the sun. CHECK IT OUT!

Summary: Great Book
Review: I am only 13, but I was truly able to relate and enjoy this wonderful book. My friend read this book, and highly recomended it to me. I am really glad she did. After I read it, i recomended it to my other friends, and now most of the girls in our grade have read it. We all enjoyed it, and recomend it to women of any age.

Summary: Another page turner
Review: I have read nearly all of Judy Blume's books. Whenever I read one, I read it in a day. This book was no exception. I identified so much with the Vix character, and her dysfunctional relationships. Sometimes, I felt like I was reading about myself.

Summary: I was really disappointed
Review: I was also amazed to know this book had made the NY Times best seller list. When my daughter was a little girl, we read a lot of Judy Blume's children's books together, I truly enjoyed reading them with her. When I saw that she was writing stories for adults, I quickly grabbed the first one I saw. Big mistake. Abby, Vix and a few others were wonderful characters with depth and personality..... It could have been a good book had Caity been left out. If I had to describe this book in one word, "Weird" comes to mind.Stick to children's books, Ms. Blume.... they, are enjoyable reading.

Summary: Very good and entertaining
Review: This was a terrific book and I completely enjoyed it. Aside from the sexually, well, odd, scenes, it was a terrific story that many people can relate to. I could especially relate to Vix, but at the end, I could relate more to Caitlin. I loved this story! I would really really recomend it.

Summary: Stick with Blume's childrens books
Review: As an educator, I've always been a big fan of Blume's childrens literature. However, this adult novel fell short. I felt as thought I was reading a cheap romance complete with a predictable plot and shallow characters. I finshed the book but it was a chore. The characters were mildly interesting but I couldn't really relate to any of their trials and tribulations.

Summary: Promotes low self esteem & lack of character as virtues!
Review: I think the reason so many people either loved or hated this book is that most of us could identify with some of the things that happened to the characters. I think the difference between the people that liked this book and those who didn't like myself, is what we look for in a book. I need to like the characters in the stories I read. I want to be able to respect them if not always agree with what they do. It was extremely disappointing to me that not once in this story did I feel a real connection with any of the characters. I think many of us have met people that have influenced our lives; but I was never able to understand the desire of either of theses characters to remain friends? I felt this entire novel dealt with an extremely unhealthy relationship between these two women. I strongly disagree with the reviewers that feel this is a must read! I think that Caitlin and Vix lacked self esteem and character. I don't really understand why some many people think we need to celebrate that?

Summary: EXTREMELY AMAZING!
Review: UPON READING THIS BOOK YOU WILL FEEL AS IF YOU ACTUALLY TRAVELED TO THE HOLYLAND. THE PHOTOGRAPHY AND NARATION ARE BRILLIANT. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS BOOK. I ONLY WISH IT WAS STILL IN PRINT AS I WAS DEEPLY UPSET WHEN I HAD TO RETURN IT TO THE LIBRARY.

Summary: A Book You'll Want To Share
Review: From a person who really hadn't read a book all the way through in quite some time I am here to tell you this book grabbed me and pulled me in. It had me sitting up crying at 5:30 in the morning. Judy Blume takes you through the life of a girl from a poor income home who is befriended by an unusual rich girl which changers her life forever. This book shows takes you through first loves, fond memories, tradagy, and the endurance of friendship. It is a must buy for any who would like to know the true meaning of friendship.
