Reading Refliction 7

Welcome back blog followers,

So, I just realized that I never posted my reading reflection 7 from Monday. 

Book: Sisterhood Everlasting 

Author: Ann Brashares

Pages read: 1-42

In the prologue, it tells us all about the four friends. It also lets us know that this book will take place 10 years since the day that the pants where lost in Greece. The girls are about to turn thirty. None of the girls have children. I wonder why this is? I hope they explain this later on in the book. The prologue also tells us that Bridget got injured except it doesn't tell the reader how or when she got injured. I wonder if it will be explained later in the book. 

In the first chapter, we are told about how the girls, I mean women are up to in the last ten years. 

The chapter starts with Carmen sitting in a chair getting her makeup done. It then explains that she is an actress in a TV series. It also tells us that Carmen is a friend with a guy named Jones. Who is Jones? Maybe a boyfriend? I hope they explain this later in the book.

The chapter tells the reader that Tibby moved to Australia. What I wonder is why she decided to move so far away from her family and friends? 

They don't really explain what Lena is but I'm guessing she is an art teacher at some school because it mentions that she put her feet up on her desk and balanced sketchbooks on her lap. Is she an art teacher? 

Lastly, The chapter wraps up with telling us about Bridget's life. It tells us that she is still with Eric (the guy she met at soccer camp in the first book) and that they have moved four times in the last year and a half. Why is this? It really doesn't tell us. Eric and Bridget talks about future plans (a.k.a. marriage) in which, Bridget has no plans to get married in the near future. I wonder why this is? Does she not love Eric that much? 

The second chapter starts with Carmen going to meet Jones. I'm guessing he is her boyfriend because he is calling babe. A couple pages in, it says that Carmen's dad is coming to visit her. He is coming to visit her because he is lonely after his wife (Carmen's step mother) Lydia died. What did she die from? Why can't Carmen's dad live with Carmen if he is so lonely? 

The chapter then switches to Lena. Lena can’t get over Kostos and I’m wondering if he will show up later in the book. Will Lena try to get him back?

The third chapter starts with Carmen on her way to meet her dad at his hotel, which is only a few blocks away from where Carmen is shooting her TV series. Carmen can’t believe that her dad looks so different since his wife died. This chapter explains that Lydia died from breast cancer a year and a half ago.  Carmen asks about her stepbrother, Paul. Her dad tells her that Paul has just got back from Afghanistan. Is he a shoulder there or something else? It doesn’t really explain this. Her stepsister, Krista, has three children. In the other books, Carmen’s relationship with Krista was not that good. Will the death of Lydia bring the stepsisters closer together?

Yet again, the chapter goes to Lena’s life. This chapter explains that Lena’s grandparents died and now it is up to Lena’s dad to decide if they should sell their house in Greece. But, why wont Lena’s dad sell the house?

That is all I have read so far in the book.
