The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants

by Ann Brashares

ONE LINE SUMMARY: When four best friends spend their fifteenth summer apart, they take turns wearing a pair of magical pants that fit all of them.

I didn’t expect to like this as much as I did. I only read this because two actresses/characters I like, Alexis Bledel from Gilmore Girls and Amber Tamblyn from Joan of Arcadia were in the movie of this book. I didn’t see the movie, but I made a mental note to check out the book when it finally came back into the library.

I thought the idea of magical pants kind of corny, but the author doesn’t belabor the whole magical idea, and the fact that the pants fit four very different bodies is mostly accepted pretty quickly by the girls (and me).

I liked this book, but I will admit I cried during it. I’ll still be reading the next book in the series, though.
