Summary: Great display of the joy and heartache of friendship.
Review: This booked expresses a great display of friendship ..all the joy and heartache that goes along with it. The young adult 'coming of age' experiences are written so well. This book will bring back memories of how naive and curious you were growing up.

Summary: What a story!
Review: This was an amazing story that flowed from chapter to chapter so nicely that it was hard to find a stopping place that allowed me to go on about my day without thinking about the next event within the book. This novel kept me interested from the beginning and I only put it down when absolutely necessary (i.e. to use the bathroom, go to work, etc.). This was a story so universal, with such diverse characters that I would be at a loss to find someone who can't relate to at least one of the characters. Blume is a writer who can appeal to people of all backgrounds. This is evident in her ability to write books aimed at both young and old with such elegance, charm and humor. The story was fun and uplifting and I recommend it for anyone who wants to spend a day in a soap opera type fantasy world. Like a soap opera, some of it is very predictable and unbelievable to people living in the real world, one puts its flaws aside to live in a fantasy world of forgiveness and unconditional love.

Summary: Couldn't put it down and neither could all of my friends!
Review: Wow, what a great book! Perfect for those almost 30 year olds who were less than angelic growing up. It is fun to think about the good old days and thank your lucky stars that you turned out as well as you did, thanks Judy.

Summary: Not worth the money
Review: I was on a vacation and looking for a good read when I picked up this book. I loved Judy Blume's charming books as a kid, (Fudge, Are you There God, etc.) and thought her writing style in Summer Sisters would be a grown-up equivalent. I was pretty darn disappointed. The book sort of reminds you of wanna-be, second-rate Danielle Steele. Judy Blume's trying hard to be racy, but the characters are totally two-dimensional and seem like ridiculous caricatures. The book is totally predictable: Vix, the solid, dependable friend meets Caitlin, the man-crazy bad girl. Ever read Sweet Valley High? That's the level of writing we're talking about here. The plot just kind of rambles, and the ending just seems lame. Blech.

Summary: Great book!
Review: Judy Blume has been a favorite of mine since I was a youngster in grade school. She's still got it, and what's even better, she's got it for adults, too!

Summary: Could I give it ZERO stars??
Review: This is not Judy Blume quality. I was disappointed and expected more. Too sexual for teens, too immature for adults. I guess she was aiming at the soap opera audience. Aim higher, Judy.

Summary: Summer Sisters is a believable and entertaining story.
Review: Summer Sisters is a wonderful story that stays interesting from beginning to end. The reading flows and moves quickly. The characters were diverse and believable. I love how the reader actually gets into each character's head and knows what they are thinking. The ending is a good conclusion, leaving the reader a little sad but with an easy feeling. This was my first Judy Blume adult novel and I will definately be going back for more.

Review: I loved this story! When I finished I was sad, because I knew I would "miss" the characters. Anyone who has close girlfriend can relate to this heartwarming story of friendship and heartache...

Summary: After all these years...
Review: After all of the years she is still my favorite author, from pre-pubescence to adulthood, I still cannot put her books down.I can remember when I was eight years old sitting in a dimly-lit corner of our elementary school library reading 'Are You There God, It's Me Margaret?' hoping when it was my "day" I would have enough strength to tell my mother. After reading 'Summer Sisters' I am convinced her story telling is monumental. I sat, this time in my brightly lit living room of my own home, laughing and crying just as I had as a little girl, just with a few more years of experience wishing I had had the luxury of summers in Martha's Vineyard. (P.S. I thought the ending took an intense turn, which made the book that much more inviting.)

Summary: I Loved this book,I hated to put it down.
Review: Judy Blume was great with this book it brought me back to my adolesent years, I couldn't wait to finish the book but then was so sad to read the last page. I wanted Vix and Cat to go on forever.
