The Second Summer of the Sisterhood by Ann Brashares

Carmen and Lena remain home for the summer but still learn more about themselves and their family. Curious about her background, Bridget visits her grandmother in Alabama and Tibby attends a film summer course at a college. The girls have grown some due to the previous summer’s experiences and things escalate in this installment. The Second Summer of the Sisterhood picks up the following summer. The girls decide to stay in contact by mailing the pants to each other along with a letter over the summer. Tibby, an aspiring film maker, stays home and finds a summer job while working on a documentary and beautiful Lena visits her grandparents in Greece. Bridget, who is tall, blonde, and athletic, is off to soccer camp in Mexico and Carmen, a curvy Latina, travels south to visit her father in South Carolina. In The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants, we follow the girls as they go their separate ways for the first time in the summer. The pants seems like any ordinary pair but when on, it accentuates the wearer’s features in an attractive way.

They only wear the pants during the summer. All born within weeks of each other, the girls formed the Sisterhood when they discover a magical pair of pants that not only fits them all despite their varying body types, but also seems to bring about major changes in their lives whenever they wear it. The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants series is a contemporary young-adult series about the friendship of four teenage girls growing up in Bethesda, MD. Why did it take me so long to finally read these books? I’ve been missing out on a fun but touching story about female friendships and family.
