Love your pals. Love yourself. "Light and romantic." --The New York Times "Fits like a favorite pair of pants." --USA Today "A great summer read." --The Sacramento Bee "As comfortable as an old pair of jeans." --Kirkus Reviews, Starred

Review:
Ann Brashares' The Second Summer of the Sisterhood will be found equally riveting by the teens who loved The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants (2001). As in the first novel, four teen girls who have known each other since birth (their moms shared a pregnancy aerobics class) further forge their bond of friendship through a pair of thrift-store jeans that magically, impossibly, fits them all perfectly.
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 programme 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, Amazon.com
"Light and romantic." --The New York Times "Fits like a favorite pair of pants." --USA Today "A great summer read." --The Sacramento Bee "The characters seem like old friends, and the author's sure ear for dialogue and her empathy for her protagonists' complicated emotions creates a story as comfortable as an old pair of jeans. A big, complex, satisfying sequel." --Kirkus Reviews, Starred "Equally authentic and engaging." --Publishers Weekly "The Second Summer, while breezy and fun to read, deals seriously with love lost and found, death, and finding the courage to live honestly." --Amazon.com "[A] big-hearted, complex tale of living, learning, and caring." --School Library Journal "Brashares has done an outstanding job of showing the four teens growing up and giving readers a happy, ultimately hopeful book, easy to read and gentle in its important lessons." --Booklist "It takes a really good book to leave you laughing one moment and crying the next. This book did just that. It is even better than the first book." --VOYA "Although these teens deal with issues common to YA novels--identity, romance, parental conflict--Brashares' tale, with its lively characters, honest emotion, and wry wit, rises above the norm." --Children's Literature
