None.  frozenplums | May 4, 2013 |  I felt like the girls were a little lame...Bee with brown hair...weird. (  ) melissarochelle | Apr 13, 2013 | A well-realized, strongly plotted explorations of adolescence from various viewpoints. (  ) satyridae | Apr 5, 2013 | OH MY GOODNESS. This book? At one point, I had to put it down to bawl my eyes out. I couldn't see to read the book for about 30 minutes. Yeah... Yeah. :*( (  ) saraferrell | Apr 3, 2013 | Picking up on the second book, this is the one where you see a lot of consequences and how realistic the Sisterhood are. While constant reverting the characters’ personalities in a series can be extremely frustrating (and is one of my major turn-offs), it works well here, because characters like Carmen and Tibby keep kicking themselves over their guilt for their actions and then turn around and keep acting like brats. I really like Bee’s story the best in her, you get the idea of how much of a façade she puts up and what happens when she breaks down. I loved her reconnecting with her roots and how she gets stronger. It’s a worthy sequel to the original book, and very enjoyable. ( ) princess-starr | Mar 31, 2013 | no reviews | add a review

Like the summer before, Carmen, Bridget, Tibby, and Lena share their individual adventures with the Pants collective, creating an engaging, kaleidoscopic narrative of four voices. This summer, Tibby attends a film program in Virginia and Bridget (Bee), whose mother has died, impulsively jets off to Alabama to get reacquainted with her estranged grandmother. Lovely Lena tries to protect herself from the heartbreak of loving her long-distance Greek god boyfriend Kostos, and Carmen deals (poorly) with her mother dating again and having the nerve to borrow the Pants!
The Second Summer, while breezy and fun to read, deals seriously with love lost and found, death, and finding the courage to live honestly. The teens' lessons are often painful, but the Sisterhood prevails. Quotations from luminaries such as Charlie Brown ("Nothing takes the taste out of peanut butter quite like unrequited love") to Nelson Mandela ("There is nothing like returning to a place that remains unchanged to find the ways in which you yourself have altered") open each chapter and cleverly reflect the novel's many moods. (Ages 12 and older) --Karin Snelson

I recommend this book to those who have skipped the first movie in favor of the book, or at the very least read the first book before seeing the movie. (
