Girls in Pants by Ann Brashares

Girls in Pants (Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants, #3)

by Ann Brashares

Summer is always a special time for the four teenage best friends: Bee, Tibby, Carmen and Lena. They have the time to hang out, get jobs, share secrets, discuss boys - and wear the amazing jeans they call the travelling pants. This year there's an added poignancy as the girls know this is their last summer together before going off to different universities. With Lena defying her father, Carmen resenting her mother, Bee rediscovering her first love and Tibby trying to escape her family, the air is fraught with tension. Can the strength of their friendship overpower the feuds in their families and leave the girls with happy memories of the third summer of the sisterhood?

I am really enjoying this series, and love getting to catch up with these four ever summer.

• Lena really took charge of her future, and I was really proud of her.
• Tibby finally admits something that everyone else already knew, and though she was a bit frustrating, I liked seeing her finally taking a leap.
• Bridget really reflects a LOT on that first summer, which shows how much she had grown. She makes an effort to be kind and help people shine, and gosh darn it, her romantic storyline was great.
• It was amazing to see Carmen admit all her shortcomings, but she really stepped it up in this book. Brashares gave her the most adorable love interest, but knowing Carmen, it will go nowhere.

This was a big summer for the girls, and I shed a few tears as they said goodbye, and went their separate ways. I also saw them grow up quite a bit, and look forward to seeing how their first year of college worked out.
