by Ann Brashares, Angela Goethals
The plot of this one and Forever in Blue are getting muddled in my head since I read them so close together. I like that this one wasn't as themed as the last book. The last book was very focused on mother/daughter relationships and this book has more variety to the storylines. My main issue is th...
Hello everyone and how's it going for you all? I hope you're doing well! Well, for me I'm doing pretty good. Today I'm going to do a review on The Sisterhood Series by Ann Brashares. I've seen the movies way before I read the books this year. I was shocked and surprised at just how different the boo...
These were never super fantastic books but I liked them. I think it was because I was about the same age as them?
In my opinion, while “Girls in Pants” is the weakest out of the four, I don’t think it’s a bad book. It feels more like a filler to set up for the grand finale.

My sister said these Sisterhood novels, about friendship of four teenage girls aided by a magical pair of pants, always have this gloomy aura lurking beneath. I tend to agree with her.

The last is inexplicable and maddening. Brashares seemed, like Alcott, tempted to have an earthquake swal...
MUCH better than the second one. I no longer felt frustrated/infuriated by the main characters. Instead they ended up making me fall in love with them all over again. Especially Tibby. And I LOVED Carmen scolding the police officer who pulled them over for speeding, when they were rushing to be with...
I like the arc of the series, as well as the characters.Here's a question: are these books realistic fiction, fantasy fiction, or magical realism? One's answer depends on whether or not the pants are actually magical, and I've never made up my mind. Have other readers?
