The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants by Ann Brashares

This book was adorable, fun and just plain girly. It’s the story of four BFF’s and their first summer apart from each other. I thought it was great how each girl was totally different from the other yet they had the perfect friendship - they made each other complete. Lena the shy one, Bridget the impulsive one, Tibby the honest one, and Carmen the latina and self-conscious one. I became instantly attached to the characters and couldn't put the book down. I just had to know what would happen in Greece with Kostos, how Bailey was dealing with her Leukemia, if things were heating up with Eric, and how Carmen's 'new family' was doing. I saw the movie a while ago and was pleasantly surprised when I saw the differences in the book. I think women of all ages can relate to this story in so many ways. We can relate to the friendships, first loves, and different personalities. Now I can’t wait to get my hands on the other three books.
