Forever in Blue: The Fourth Summer of the Sisterhood

Reader reviewed by Kit-Kat

Phenomenal...really. Books don't often blow me away, most are just quite pleasant to read, but this one is the only exception besides anything by Stephenie Meyer.

I am not comparing Brashares to Meyer, because there is no comparison there. For me, Stephenie will always come out superior.

But Ann's book is not that far behind Stephenie's. This is my favorite book out of the whole series. (The first one is ok, but they just keep getting better and better.) I think this one is where the characters learned the most about themselves. (I am very big on well-rounded characters.)

Also, the little lessons they learned were really quite inpirational. And then the ending - nothing would have fit any better. It was the perfect way...not all the ends were tied up, leaving somethings for you to imagine for yourself, but most of them were pretty much resolved.

Great read - definitely on the top of my list.

I loved this book. It was so fun to read just like the ones before it!!! Any teenage girl should read Ann Brashares Traveling Pants series because chances are they'll love (much like i did)

The only thing i was disapppionted about was the ending. It seemed to end kind of abruptly and didnt have a lot of conclusions to things (i.e. how did the relationships end up????). But it ends in a good way and keeps you thinking on what could happen....

But overall (and really OVERALL) the book was awesome. I love reading the different stories for each girl.

PANTS=LOVE!!!!

I really enjoyed this book and im sure you will too.


If youv'e read the first three books then you'll have to read this one. it's not as good as the ones before it but if you don't read it the others won't make as much sense.

It's about four best friends who find a pair of pants that fit them all even though they're all different shapes. Now after three summers with the pants the girls are finally splitting up. Going over seas, colleges and all of those things but do they need the pants to help them stay together?

READ IT!!

To be honest, I felt like FOREVER IN BLUE start off rather slowly and depressingly, but in fact the novel is so astounding and fitting for the final book in this amazing series that I am still reeling from reading it.

The SeptembersCarmen, Tibby, Bridget, and Lenahavent really gotten together since the summer before they each went their separate ways to college. Now, its the summer after their freshman year of college and once again theyre apart, though together in spirit. Still, though, each girl has her own mistakes to make and lessons to learn.

Tibby is taking a summer screenwriting course at NYU. At the same time, she takes a big step forward in her relationship with Brian&with consequences that shatter their old ideas of almost blind love. Lena opts for an art studio class at RISD, where she develops a crush on the intense, incredibly talented artist Leo and asks herself whether she has, in fact, actually moved on from Kostos.

Carmen has tagged along with her college friend Julia to a theater camp Julia is excited to attend. In a move completely unlike the invisible background person shes become over the course of the year, Carmen tries out for a highly esteemed part in a play&and gets it, much to Julias dissatisfaction. Finally, Bee is on an archaeological dig in Turkey, where she has feelings for her older, married professor and tries to learn how to miss someone and remember to have a home.

The ending of FOREVER IN BLUE is bittersweet and excellent. Its realistic, touching, and satisfying, all at once. All the years weve loved these four girls, here is one last time to see them mature and learn how powerful their bond with one another is. Its a bond that can outlast anything, even time and distance, and that is what makes this series so special.
