Review and recommendation: I did greatly enjoy this book. I loved how there was four stories going on at once. The book had a lot of big turning points. You never knew what to except! With all the hate, love, and drama I would love to say this was one of the best books I have ever read. I would recommend this book for 5th through 8th graders. The book had some inappropriate parts, but other than that it was great. Some other books Ann Brashares wrote are The //Second Summer of the Sisterhood, Girls in the Pants: Third Summer of the Sisterhood,// and //Forever in Blue: The Fourth Summer of the Sisterhood.//

//Rating: 9/10//
