Sisterhood Everlasting (Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants) (Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants, #5)

by Ann Brashares

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER
 
Four friends
One sisterhood
Ten years later, the story continues

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.

Ann Brashares tells a good story. She pulls you in and makes it hard to put the book down. I read this in a day. I stayed up late to finish it. I was totally emotionally invested in it.

This isn't one of those books that's going to stick with me forever. I'm still not cool with what happened. It was pretty cheesy and the ending was too idyllic. But I liked it while I was reading it. It was a good story. There was character development. I fell in love with Bridget, who I don't remember liking that much before.

This probably won't stand the test of time, but it was an enjoyable read.
