The Sisterhood of the Travelling Pants
The Sisterhood of the Travelling Pants | Ann Brashares
Carmen, Tibby, Lena and Bridget have been best friends all their lives. They live in the same small American town and usually spend every moment of their long summer holidays together. The year they turn 16 is the first time they have separate plans for the summer but the girls are determined to keep in touch. Tibby buys a pair of jeans in a second-hand shop and the girls discover that the trousers magically fit each of them perfectly, despite their different figures and heights. They hit upon a wonderful plan of sharing the jeans throughout the vacation - sending them on to the next friend when they feel the time is right. From Baja California to Greece, from film-making to football, the girls - and the traveling pants - encounter first love, family upset and fatal illness. Secure in the knowledge that their friendship is constant - and the symbol of it need never be more than a parcel-delivery away - the girls survive their summer and return home with a wealth of new experiences to share. A perfect teen-chick summer read; a quirky, humorous and memorable cut above the rest.

A read when I was in high school and now years later I still enjoy this this book

I probably would have enjoyed this book heaps more if the ebook copy I read didn‘t have full spaces between every paragraph and no distinguishing factor for when it changed perspectives. I also don‘t have any nostalgia for this book. I am not down for a 15 year old wanting to date a 20-something year old. I also felt way more invested in Tibby and Carmen‘s stories than Bridget and Lena‘s. This just wasn‘t for me. 3⭐️

I posted about this 5 years ago but I finally finished The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants! Take that Ms. Mora. 😝 Might come full circle and do Wuthering Heights next because I‘m pretty sure I skimmed for that project. This was my March #DoubleSpin I may continue the series.

The.Great.Catsby Sometimes, you just gotta revenge read! Hahaha 2y
TheAromaofBooks Woohoo!!! Glad you finally got this one checked off!! I read Wuthering Heights for the first time since high school earlier this year with the #PemberLittens and still thought it was ridiculous 😂 However, now that I'm older, I didn't take it as seriously, so that helped. And I printed off a little family tree so I could X out characters as they kipped over! 😆 2y
MatchlessMarie @The.Great.Catsby Yes! I love that idea 😈 📖 2y
MatchlessMarie @TheAromaofBooks oooh I may need to creep on some of those posts 😂 That sounds like an excellent craft lol 2y

Apart they are a girl trying to find her way in the world, learning hard lessons and changing into the women they are becoming. Together they are a force and mighty.👭👭👖
Oh and a warning, the last book gutted me, I read it bawling in the breakroom at my job at the time.

Traci1 Such a great series. 3y
Eggs Nice choice!! I‘ve read 3 or 4 / are there more?? 3y
Tera66 @Eggs Goodreads lists 6, but two I think are about other girls.Its been awhile since I read them. The last one is Sisterhood Everlasting and was devastating to me, but its worth the read. It's about the 4 main girls. 3y
Eggs @Tera66 it‘s the fifth one I didn‘t read according to bookvooks. People upload books there for free reading. I started it already. Thanks for the recommendation 💕 3y

Read this when you need a cup of comfort. A sweet memoire about the incredible bonds of friendship and coming of age. It will remind you of the layers of your own human soul‘s onion- that tender shallot you were long before. The characters were real, honest and interesting. It touches on challenging aspects of life and shed great light and wisdom. It was a bit predictable but that, in itself, kind of added to the enjoyment of this comfort read.

Kind of liked it but I feel like it's written by someone who has no clue whatsoever about how teenage girls behave. A bit unrealistic in my opinion. However, I can understand why this would be a fun read as a teenage girl. Maybe i'm just an old and bitter lady myself.

I watched this movie for the first time this week when I learned it was leaving Netflix soon and then I decided to read the book. (Usually I‘m a book before movie type of person.) It‘s a quick YA read. I enjoyed the close friendship of the four girls. I found the rapidly changing viewpoint without obvious separations confusing. There were numerous times I didn‘t realize the narration had changed from one girl to another, but overall, a nice read.

I never actually read this as a teen so it was fun to experience now as an adult! A great summer read! It was fun to compare myself and my experiences with the different girls and storylines.

LibrarianRyan I loved this entire series and I read it as an adult. The last book where they are all 30 year old adults about broke my heart. 5y

Since I couldn‘t find the book version on Scribd I found the audiobook version and so far is pretty damn good. The voice reader really captures each of the girls. This book is for my second prompt on the #Disneyathon of Li Shang feat. a squad. I thought about Six of Crows but I have it for another readathon prompt. So this book fits lol.

I needed to read a book turned into a movie for a book bingo I‘m participating in and decidedly to give this one a go, not expecting to enjoy it much because I love the movie but I was wrong! It was equally as good as the movie and now I can‘t wait to read the rest of the series. And It completed my bingo row. Fun times!

Coming from a place and community where arranged marriages are a way of life and completely normal, I understand Lena's exasperation. 'Love marriages' are usually frowned upon and considered as western culture by conservative Indians. I'm not trying to generalize over here but it's definitely not uncommon.

BTW, I'm loving this book!

I know I must have read this as a teen but after finishing a re-read (?) of it today, now I‘m not sure. Either way, I thoroughly enjoyed myself! In fact, I originally picked this up because I am reading a much more emotionally draining book at the moment and needed something to lighten the mood. Well, didn‘t you know- I got hooked and ended up putting that other book aside while I finished this one first!

Read this for the POPSUGAR Reading Challenge (as a lot of the books I read this year will be!) the prompt was “a book with an item of clothing or accessory on the cover.” I have always wanted to read this book and found that it was okay. Cute story but not very fulfilling.

Experienced ALL the high school feels throwing it back to The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants and chatting about it with awesome teacher and bookstagrammer Katie Hartman (@katiefullybooked). There‘s so much more to this story than I realized — questions of sex, depression, death, blended familes, and more — PLUS (obviously) great friendships, romances, and a cool pair of jeans. Check out the link in my bio to listen! 🎧

Well, went through that fast lol. I see now why I loved this as a teenager - because I could relate to all four girls in some way, even though they are all so different. Re-reading this also taught me something sad, and it's that I've outgrown this book. I am happy to be able to give another young girl the chance to love this book (*series) as much as I did.

This used to be one of my all-time favorite books as a kid, so I was a little wary upon rereading it. It might be part nostalgia, but I still really liked this book! Especially the characters feel so real and sweet, and are still pretty relatable to me.
