So I just started “The Second Summer of the Sisterhood” by Ann Brashares. I am excited to read it, because I think it will be good just like the first one. But I hope no one dies in this one, because that was soo sad. But I guess it was a lesson in a way, to show that life can be vulnerable and must be treasured.

Bridget had hit a big bump in the road, because she ended up being with Eric. The book didn’t really say what happened, but I can make a guess. Because Bridget became very upset and secluded from everyone at the camp, even Eric. Everyone was worried about her. Eric was so worried he finally met with her privately to talk to her. The talk was very sweet, but it was upsetting. He basically said how in a different time it would work out, but because the rules of the camp and their age that it would not work out. I feel so bad for Bridget, because she had been through with her mom being dead. Through the whole summer all of the girls had been sending letters to each other, sometimes they would call if they could. Bridget had been sending Lena letters that worried her. So it was the day Lena and Effie were traveling back home, when Lena decided she would catch a flight to Baja, California to comfort Bridget and return home with her. She knew she had to make it all work out, because the next day Bridget would be getting on a plan to go home. Lena wanted to make she that Bridget would get on the plan and have a safe flight. Lena ended up making it to Bridget’s cabin, which surprised Bridget. Lena gave the pants to Bridget to make her feel better, because it would feel like Tibby and Carmen were there. I think Lena is an amazing friend for going to see Bridget. Lena knows Bridget so well that she knew she had to be there for her. I think friendships like that are very rare, and if it happens people should embrace it. I love how all the friends knew each other so well, and even when they are in a fight they still know what to say. I think more friendships need to be like the one in this book, I find the book somewhat inspirational.

I finished “The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants” by Ann Brashares. It was a pretty good ending, I guess. Tibby’s one friend Bailey died. It was sooo sad, because Tibby got really close to her over the summer. Bailey was a mini Tibby. Carmen finally hit her breaking point when she was at her Father’s. She was upset about the dress fitting for her Father’s wedding. Carmen went with her soon to be step-mom, Lydia, and her soon to be stepsister, Krista. The seamstress was being very rude to Carmen, because the dress was not fitting properly. Carmen ended up leaving and taking a walk, when she realized it was really late and her Father would be worried about her. But when she looked through the window, she saw her Father, Lydia, Krista, and Paul saying grace without her. She got so upset and threw a rock through the window and ran. The author never really established how she got home though. But, Carmen did return home and hung out with Tibby and Bailey. Which was a good thing Carmen came back, because she helped Tibby deal with Bailey who was in the hospital. Plus she was there for her when Bailey had passed away. Lena ended up meeting up with Kostos on her last day, which she also got the pants back. She explained to Kostos everything and apologized to him too. She noticed how he was patient with her, because many things she was saying came out wrong or it was hard to get out. They had their first kiss too, which I wish happened a long time ago. I think Kostos seems like a good guy, especially for Lena.

So Tibby and Carmen’s summer has gotten a little bit more exciting. Tibby is starting to hang out with her new friend Bailey. Tibby met Bailey at work, when Bailey collapsed on a display and passed out. Tibby tried her best to do the right thing in the situation. She called 911 and looked through her wallet to contact a parent. Also, she went with Bailey to the emergency room. I thought it was very kind of Tibby to do that, when she did not even know Bailey. Anyways the two of them are a good pair, even though Bailey is a few years younger than Tibby. I think in the beginning Tibby hung out with Bailey because she found out Bailey has leukemia. After the two been hanging out, I think Tibby actually likes hanging out with Bailey. The two get along very well with their personalities. They decide to start a documentary with different people they know. They have so far interviewed a women Tibby works with, and this nerd that play this arcade game at a seven eleven store. The last part I read was when Bailey asked to try on “the pants” to be interviewed by Tibby for the documentary. I think Lena overreacted when Kostos accidentally caught Lena skinny dipping. She made it seem like Kostos hurt her, and Lena’s Grandparents and Kostos Grandparents got into a fight. Her Grandfather, Bapi, had to go to the hospital, because he broke his nose. The only people Lena told the truth to was Carmen and Effie. I do not understand why she was even upset about it. She should have just been embarrassed, not angry and upset. I will blog about Carmen and Bridget’s vacation when I read more about it. I am at a spot where I need the whole story to understand and talk about their summer.
