Summary: great book
Review: i first read this book when i first turned 16. i found it to be such a great book. my friend and i read it together every free second, we even gave up our lunch to read it. i became our *bible*. we compare ourselves to vix and cait and we r similar in many ways. we spent all last summer together, and she had basicly adopted me. now i am living with her and her family and we couldn't be any more similar to vix and cait. it is a great book and i highly recomend it to any best friends who wanna read a good book.

Summary: Disappointing
Review: I actually read this book out of curiosity. Reading a book by Judy Blume had been a taboo growing up. I was never allowed to by my mother because she was supposedly too controversial. So, when I found an adult book by her, I was determined to rebelliously snatch it up. Aside from the sexual content, the book seemed pretty dull to me. I felt like I was reliving my teenage years through the characters: the best friend stealing my boyfriend, the boyfriend that I barely know other than physically, the pettiness of people, the misunderstandings and lack of communication between everybody, mothers that leave their children to be brought up by strangers. I just wasn't impressed. Yes, it's easy to read. But there's no suspense. The whole book is so surface-level. I supose it's realistic, but no award winner. The book seems to end just because it shouldn't possibly go on any longer.

Summary: Classic Judy Blume, great story telling
Review: This is the perfect beach read book. I have loved Judy Blume's books over the years and this one was no exception.Vix and Caitlin are friends who always spend the summer together. Vix is self-centered and selfish, Caitlin the more giving and sensitive partner in this friendship. The ending was worthy of the story (but I'm not giving it away here) and it is enjoyable to follow this friendship as the girls explore love, sex, betrayal, and friendship loyalty. This is an adult read, not for the younger set, and I think it is a classic example of Judy Blume's skill of great story-telling, coming of age exploration and looking within ourselves.

Summary: A moving story of true friendship and true love
Review: Once I began reading this book, I couldn't put it down. I laughed, I cried, and I related to so many of the events that took place in the story of "Summer Sisters". If your best friend has always seemed to be wilder and crazier than you and you have been envious of that, then you will enjoy this book. If you have ever met a man whom you perceived as unattainable, then you will love this book.

Summary: Enjoyable summer reading
Review: This is the story of Caitlin & Vix (Victoria), two young girls that met in Elementary school. Their friendship begins in 1977 when Caitlin invites Vix to spend the summer at her cottage by the ocean on Vineyard beach. Judy Blume takes us on their journey through teenage years right into adulthood. Friendships ; how often they can become bittersweet...to what length is Caitlin willing to go to find happiness ? Could she even betray her best friend ? Why can't she find contentment in her life? Why is it that even as adult we sometimes look for answers outside ourselves? It's all about choices and how they affect our lives and the choices these two girls make are very different yet through thick and thin their frienship remains.
This book is about sisterly love and the real bound that exist when you have a true friend.
This was a great summer read for my vacation.

Summary: A non-trashy beach read
Review: I loved Judy Blume when I was growing up and I am delighted that she has some works aimed towards the adult crowd too. "Summer Sisters" is about Vix, a young girl who is invited by her classmate Caitlin, to spend the summer with her family at Cape Cod. Vix and Caitlin spend each summmer growing up together on Cape Cod, where they go through first jobs, first loves, and sexual experiences. Vix, who has an unhappy home life with her own family, enjoys these summers. But there is an undertone of female jealousy whenever she seems to pull ahead of the vivacious Caitlin. This is a great little read, particularly if you are fmale and have a female friend close enough to be your sister!

Summary: A real thinker
Review: First off, I am a fantasy book addict. So this is not my typical choice of reading material, but this is my best friend's favorite book, so I figured I'd give it a try.
This is a book that is, for lack of a better term, real. It goes into topics like growing up, dealing with your family, encountering the opposite sex, dealing with friends and enemies, and even death. This is the type of book that makes your head hurt because you think about it too much.
I can read a good novel in one night, and this book didn't take me that much longer to finish. It is not a bad read and I at some points I didn't want to put the book down. I like how you get sections from each characters perspective. But the reason my rating is not higher is this book spans twenty years and I think they started to jump around too much. Towards the end, it seemed like everything was rushed just to finish the book. Also there were way too many characters introduced, only to never be heard from again. I found myself wondering who all these people were and I would confuse their names and have to go back to find out how they fit into the story.
The main characters, Vix and Caitlin, are very well done. I found aspects of myself in each girl, and other parts that were so totally opposite from me. I like how you could relate to many of the characters well.
Overall, if you like books on "life" this would be the book for you! If you like books that have nothing to do with "life" read some fantasy!

Summary: Summer Reading
Review: This is one of the best books I have ever read. If you are looking for easy summer reading I highly recommend this book. My friends and I took this book on a houseboat and all three of us read it within two days. It has everything you need and want in a book.
