Sisterhood Everlasting
Ann Brashares
2011
I read the entire Sisterhood of the Travelling Pants series when I was younger. I loved the books (and the movies) and was so excited when this book was released last summer. And it didn't disappoint.
Sisterhood Everlasting starts a while after the ending of the last book. Tibby, Lena, Carmen and Bridget are grown up and have their own jobs and lives and boys. Carmen is an actress in New York and is engaged. Lena is teaching art in Rhode Island and still longing for Kostos. Bridget is still with Eric, but she can't seem to settle down. And Tibby is still Tibby. The girls haven't seen each other for a long time, and Tibby orchestrates a meeting in Santorini, but this trip doesn't go as planned. After certain events, their lives are all changed forever and they have to figure out what to do and how to get through it.
Sisterhood Everlasting is not as light-hearted as the previous books. It's as if Ann Brashares has made the book grow up to match the age of the readers. I had fallen in love with the characters throughout the first four novels, and this book just continued that love. There are some new characters, but they add so much to the story. The story was amazing; sad, but amazing. The plot nicely wraps up everything that had been started in the first four novels.
I'd recommend reading this book only after you've read the first four. But I also highly recommend the first four. Once I get through my large stack of books to read this summer I think I'm going to reread the whole series.
I don't know which part of the book is my favourite. I think it's the excitement about them all getting together in Greece again, to a place where they lost so much. Once I reread it, I might change my mind. My other favourite part was how this book just snuck up on me. I hadn't heard anything about it, and then all of a sudden it was being released.

I give this book 4.5 stars out of 5. I loved the characters and the story and how it brought an ending to a very good series. I highly recommend this entire series.
