After reading the first book, I knew I'd want the read the next three right away. I launched straight into this second one, and found that I actually DID enjoy it. Though I knew it'd be a quick and fun read, I kind of had my doubts about whether it'd really be worth my time. The author dealt with so many major issues in the first book that I wasn't really confident that she'd left enough meat for the other four. I can't speak about the third or fourth yet (though there's room for new issues, surely, with college on the horizon), but the second was genuinely and surprisingly good. It's a similar style to the first, so if you didn't like that one, don't bother. But if you liked the first, give this one a try, and give it a little time. It's slightly slow at the beginning, but it gets better and more involved, even if it is predictable. (show less)

No, it's a flop!

I found this book a lot harder to get into then the first one. I felt like it didn't next a next book but they kept writing them. I find that if you find you are over these books don't keep reading them... I stopped after this one I think it was the right thing to do. (show less)

  Another good one from Ann Brashares. We follow the girls again for another summer of learning, loving and growing up. I didn't realize until I was part way into the book that there was a recurring theme of mothers and daughters and how similar yet different they are from each other. All of them had to learn about love on some level; about accepting it, feeling worthy of it, and letting it go in order to live again. I felt for each one of them while reading the book, and was happy to see them ... (show more)

All of them had to learn about love on some level; about accepting it, feeling worthy of it, and letting it go in order to live again. I felt for each one of them while reading the book, and was happy to see them all come out the other side of yet another tough summer of growth.

  It was interesting to see the bits they pulled from this book to make up the second movie, and where they ended up in the movie. The movie worked for me, and this book stands well on its own as well. I'm curious now to see in the third and fourth books what they took from them. (show less)

  Just as good as the first! Although, I have to admit that I felt that Bridget's story was the most compelling of all four girls, while the others bordered on annoying. I did, however, find traces of myself when Carmen's mom began to date. I wasn't as bad as Carmen, but I certainly understand how she felt and why. I hate that Brashares made Kostos turn out to be such an idiot, but I know that she must have so much more in store for Lena. And finally, every scene where Tibby remembers Bailey an... (show more)

And finally, every scene where Tibby remembers Bailey and struggles with her feelings brought me near tears. It made me love Tibby even more! (show less)
