On the cusp of turning thirty, Tibby, Lena, Carmen, and Bridget are now living separate lives, out on their own. Yet despite having jobs and men that they love, each knows that something is missing: the closeness that once sustained them. Carmen is a successful actress in New York, engaged to be married, but misses her friends. Lena finds solace in her art, teaching in Rhode Island, but still thinks of Kostos and the road she didn’t take. Bridget lives with her longtime boyfriend, Eric, in San Francisco, and though a part of her wants to settle down, a bigger part can’t seem to shed her old restlessness. Then Tibby reaches out to bridge the distance, sending the others plane tickets for a reunion that they all breathlessly await. And indeed, it will change their lives forever—but in ways that none of them could ever have expected.
My Review:
I love the Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants series, so when this came out I wanted to read it. But then I kind of forgot about it, til I found it on the sale rack. So of course I bought it. From the start of this book it was not what I wanted! I couldn't believe the direction she took their story. 4 best friends from birth, of course growing up and starting their own lives would take a toll on their closeness, but you always knew that somehow they would work it out. They are all so different. While the author does have a tendency to run on and on, oh my gosh I would skip paragraphs, I still love her characters. The end of this book gave me what I wanted, kind of, in a way. I thought about my closest friends and how they impact my life. This book was happy and sad and all of the in-between. It is a pretty adult book, language, a little bit of sex. But I highly recommend reading ALL of the Sisterhood books, and of course this one also to complete the story.
4 out of 5 rating.
