The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants

By: Ann Brashares

I liked this book because it was about a group of friends that want to get closer to each other before summer because they are all going away over the summer to do something different. It was a good book to read because it was cool to see how a group filled with all different girls who were all friends found a pair of jeans that fit and looked good on them all. Also, how after they all left to go thier separate ways over the summer, they all took turns with the jeans and each would wear them and write a note to the next girl that got to wear them saying what good things happened to her as she was wearing the jeans. I thought that this idea that they came up with was a different way to stay close with each other as they all were all over the world without each other over the summer since most friends don't share jeans and write letters about them.
I would recommend this book to my peers, but just girls because obviously this is the chick flicks of books.

What was unique about the setting of the book and how did it enhance or take away from the story?
The fact that each girl was in a different place, some across the world and some at just a different parent's house over the summer made the setting enhance the story because you got to see what it was like for each girl to live her summer in a different place than her normal, everyday life.

Do the characters seem real and believable? Can you relate to their predicaments? To what extent do they remind you of yourself or someone you know?
The characters in this book seem real. I can relate to their predicaments because every person has friends and spends time with them. They remind me a lot of myself because i have a lot of friends that I like to spend time with a get closer to.
