Forever in Blue: The Fourth Summer of the Sisterhood

The last Traveling Pants book is a MUST read!

The worst part of Forever Blue was the fact that it is the last book in the Sisterhood of The Traveling Pants series. Luckily, I discovered this series a couple of years after the series was published, so I was able to read all 4 books within a two month time period in quick succession. I can't imagine reading one and waiting several months to a year for the next one to be released! Forever Blue put some completion on the series, but left the readers hanging in some ways. Not too happy about the uncertainty of the pants in the ending, but I also believe it was appropriate in order to wrap up the series. This book changed my feelings about some of the characters. Carmen's growth from the third book was still being highlighted, and I liked her much more than I did in the first book. Bridget's journey into adulthood included playing with fire, but moving on with lessons learned. Tibby reverted back into a cranky child at times in the beginning, but evolved through a gratitude lesson by the end. It was fun to watch Lena follow her dreams. This book did enter the realm of sexuality in a way that the other books didn't. I figure that it is the natural evolution of things, as they were high school students in the other books, and this one is a college journey. I definately wouldn't let my 10 year old daughter read this one.

irresponsible!

A lot of sex, but no birth control! I was shocked at the lack of responsibility exhibited by these seemingly intelligent young women. The earlier books were appropriate, funny and touching. Not this one.

Luved It!

I luved the book! It was sooo interesting i never wanted to put the book down! It is a great idea to read the first 3 books and then read this one. I felt like i was the 5th member of the sisterhood! The author writes the book very well and makes you feel like you are in the book and you can see the setting and everything! Read the Book! You'll luv it!

Sisterhood 4ever

In this beautifully written book, the author tells the begining to the end, and every other question is answered. The 4 girls grow from teens to be beautiful women. The sisterhood shared in reality, between all women, is related into the amazing book. The 4 girls stories intertwine beautifully and seem as though they are 1 person, each girl a different part of that person.

OMG! OMG! OMG!

Loved it!!! Its one of those books that you can't help but feel like you are the people in the book. It was so good! "Forever In Blue" is the 4th book to the "Sisterhood" of the 4 sisters: Carmen, Lena, Tibby, and Bridget or "Bee" :). In this fourth book these sisters go through all the normal young adult ways. With the help of the Pants though of course. The sisters are confronted with problems and loneliness that with the help of the Pants (and some guys) they grow up together into the world of their magic. Read the first book "Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants" now!!!

post

Good Book

This book was good but definitely not my favorite. I think the first book was the best in the series. It gives you a thrilling scare and has a romantic touch. As the pants traveled throughout the four girls, it soon became their only link to each other. Secrets were kept from others and fights went on. When their friendship began to fall apart, a rather unexpected problem came upon them and it brought them to a place in their friendship they've never been before. This series was so good. Anyone who hasn't read this book should pick it up and read it.

very romantic!

out of all the series i think that this book hit
me the most in the romance-y area.

all though i'm in 8th grade, there were a lot of words i didn't
understand.

you should carry a dictionary!!

overall, this book was probally the best in
all the series of Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants.

remember!! this is the last book, not the first!

TwItEeN's ReViEwS ;o)

I have to say this book was amazing. The character's really seem to find themselves in this book. It is true the ending leaves something to be desired but overall it was a great read. My favorite story would have to be Bridget's. After losing her mother, and as a teenager reconnecting with her grandmother to find herself again in the previous books, in this book she learns it's okay to miss someone. Something that she's had to lock up for quite some time. She steps back and look at her family a relizes she has to do something about her brother who spends to much time in his room and her distracted father.
Lena's tragic love story with her Greek ex-boyfriend, Kustos, alway's leaves me wondering what's going to happen next. The things the author comes up with are always surprising. It's a true romantic drama, full of twists, lies, promises, and the hard truth of love that is so strong but just not meant to be.
Tibby has to find the love she feels for her once a nerd now a hunk boyfriend again. I was frustrated with her for breaking his heart and breaking up with him, but still dosn't feel happy. I got angry at her for telling Effie she was okay with her and Brian going out and then taking him back just because he wasn't available any more, but angry at her as I was I couldn't help but relate to her. Sometimes you have to lose something to realize how much you actually love it.
And Carmen. Missing her friends she starts to lose the very essence of who she is. I think it's something a lot of people can relate to. Being in an unfamiliar place with unfamiliar faces, having your so called friend turn out to be a witch who's only happy when you fail. Well okay maybe that last part is to specific :)
But the ending in my opinion is a little vague, but maybe that was the authors point. To leave it open for the reader to decide what next. If that were the case the possibilities are endless. It still amazes me that the base of the story is just four freinds with a pair of pants.
