5/5 (I would give it more if i could!)
Oh, my, gosh. I loved this book. It was surely the best one in the series, but it's the last one =(. I think this is the best series-ender ever! Believe it or not, when I was done reading the last few words of the book, I could not bring myself to closing it. Weird, eh? I was just simply unwilling to close the book. It was so... touching. I absolutely loved it.
Tibby, Lena, Bridget, and Carmen are back after their first year of university. Since they were apart during the school year, they passed the Pants around even though it wasn't summer. They decided to just carry on from and continue with the same pattern.
Lena can't forget Kostos. Every second, she finds herself thinking about him. Longing to see him again. She keeps reminding herself to forget about Kostos, but she seems to forget to forget. Which isn't helping all that much. Then, she meets an extremely talented artist in her class; Leo. Just as Lena starts to get to know him, she forgets about Kostos. But what if the moment she forgets about him is the moment she sees him again?
Tibby, still missing her beloved friend Bailey whom she met three summers ago, is in love with Brian. But after a pregnancy scare, she decides to end things with him. She thinks it's for the better, for both of them, but they both seem unhappy without eachother.
Carmen never thought she would be on stage, acting. But.. she is. Shakepearean plays don't seem like her thing, but everyone believes in her. Well, maybe everyone except her new, gorgeous, talented, popular friend; Julia. When Carmen gets a main role, Julia can't believe it. Hadn't Carmen always wanted to work backstage? Behind the scenes? Why did she get all the attention?
Bridget is out to dig; in Turkey. Her handsome archeology professor is so into her! Not to mention she likes him too.. but it's impossible nothing can ever happen. First of all, Bridget has her own boyfriend; Eric. And Peter, the professor, was ultimately unavailable. How? You'll see.
I was so sad when I finsihed the book! there were so many loose ends, and the ending isn't extremly predictable. But.. I loved this book. I finished it a few days ago and I'm still not over it. I mean, I got over Shopaholic and Baby overnight! And I'm still not over this book! AHH!

Jess,
Even though the girls are at university and the pants are still making the rounds, it sounds like their life is never dull.
I think everyone would like to have a great summer of adventures like these girls did.
Yes, I have a few favourite books that when I put them down, I had a feeling of regret. There are some books that I keep at home and when I want a predictable old favourite, I go back to them.
We read Stargirl for book club a few months ago and I loved it. There were a few of us who kept talking about it. This book even has a stargirl club associated with the book.
There is nothing wrong with feeling strongly about a book. I think that is a testament to the author that you could have such strong feelings about a book.
I am glad that the sisterhood makes you feel that way. Sisterhood might be one of those books, you give to daughter, niece, etc. down the road as a book that you treasured.
