This was a re-read for me, and I pulled it off my shelf because I felt compelled to revisit this summery, sisterly book. Always nice to come back to Carmen, Lena, Bridget, and Tibby again. ( )

The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants is a novel I really should have read back in high school!

I found this book surprisingly fulfilling for me being an adult now reading about pre-teens. These stories are sweet and made me want to know more about these characters. I watched the movie years back, but this makes me want to watch it again for all the silly, girly feels (and I miss those ladies who starred in it
The pants being a symbol in this story was a really honest yet fun take on passing the themes around in a book. I truly think it's a smart way to make the symbol so obvious yet... not? I feel like as a pre-teen I wouldn't have noticed the theme, but now as an adult it just warms me up!

Ann makes you love and feel for these girls in this book. It wasn't the fastest moving story, but it still had me hooked at every word. I want to fall into these girls's worlds and be best friends with them (or mentor them, at this point in my life).

I think this would be a great book for adults to read to their middle grade children, or introduce to their teens. It's sweet and heartfelt - and it doesn't bring you down. It lifts your spirits up, which is something we really need in this world.

If there are any cons about this book, it's that it isn't made for adults - if you are looking for an adult themed book, this isn't it. It's all about teenagers and their problems, in the minds of teenagers. It's not an adult look at teens, in my opinion.

Overall, I'm in love with this series! I hope I'm able to find the rest of this series so I can fall into their lives once again.

Four out of five stars! ( )

I really loved the characters and the pacing. I hadn't watched the movie, so I picked this book up and breezed through it. It was a wonderful story of young adult girls and figuring out life. Passing it on to my high school age niece who is mature and can handle the content and is also a voracious reader like me :) Don't know how I never thought to read this one before! ( )

Four girls, daughters of The September Group (their mothers took an aerobic class for pregnant ladies when they were all nearing their due dates around September) have been friends since before birth and have shared their summers. This year, they are going separate ways and a pair of ‘magical’ pants that look good on four very different bodies will help keep them connected. Just the rules are a hoot. Joy Stuart. ( )
