Third book, still funny, still a great read!

That was a very sweet book! I’m really enjoying this series, and I think I may have even liked this one best. Somehow it felt deeper than the other ones, since it was about the girls going off the college soon, and dealing with growing up and moving apart. It had some great heartfelt moments, as well as some hard-hitting and advice-filled passages.

If you’re looking for a girls’ teenage coming-of-age story, then this might be the best one out there (at least that I have read).

Love these characters.

had the thing with bridget and eric not started so creepily in the first book you could mayyyybe enjoy it in this one, but like. she's going into her first year of college and he's going into his last, correct? so it's still gross

i don't understand the lena/paul thing because they're never really shown interacting but tbf that was the same thing the first book did with lena/kostos so

and i did like lena working for her dreams especially when her father is so against her

i loooooved carmen/win i would've loved to see them onscreen together

at the end of the book, the girls run into the ocean together and i just wonder if that was intended to be some sort of foreshadowing for what happens in sisterhood everlasting (if ann brashares had even thought that far ahead who knows but lemme tell you it's definitely hanging over me as i reread the series and i'm not looking forward to rereading that one idt i'm gonna keep the books anyway i just don't love them the way i did as a teenager) OR if when writing sisterhood everlasting she was looking back at the original series like "ah yes i know just what to do with tibby now" anyway i hate to think about it even though i'm gonna be rereading it soon

It's been quite awhile since I read the first two books, and I remember loving both of them. This was an enjoyable, quick read, but the love wasn't there. It makes me wonder if I re-read the first two, how I'd feel about them now.

This one was less enjoyable than the first two. Tibby has the usual emofit and wallowing period that normally goes to Lena or Carmen, Carmen is extra bratty, and Lena is actually able to develop a backbone in this book. Not a bad way to spend an afternoon.

A light refreshing read for summertime!

Not my favorite of the series, but still a good read nonetheless!
emotional funny lighthearted medium-paced

I don’t know why but the sisterhood books always take me long to read, even though I love the book I just can’t wait to read more the next two sisterhood of the traveling pants books
