Hi blog followers,
So, you may have seen I finished
my "Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants" book last week. My mom got the
latest book in this series. The book takes place ten years later after the 4th
summer of the four friends lives. But, before I start reading this book, I
decided to do some research on the other three books in this series.
In the second book (The Second Summer of the Sisterhood),
while Bridget, Lena and Carmen are looking forward to spending the summer
together, Tibby goes off to a film school camp. Bridget finds a bunch of
letters from her grandmother (her mom’s mother)
In which her father has hidden from her. Bridget decides to
go visit her grandmother in Alabama.
Carmen goes on her first real date, in which the story
follows her through the ups and downs of dating. Her mother also goes on a
date, in which Carmen doesn’t like and tries to stop the relationship.
Lena is still madly in love with Kostas. Lena broke up with
him because of the long distance between them.
Like I said above, Tibby goes off to a film camp. Her
relationships with Brian and her own mother are damaged throw out the story.
When Bridget goes and meets her grandmother, she learns all
about her mother and herself. Her grandmother lets Bridget into the world her
mother grow up in and it explains why Bridget’s mother ended up taking her own
life.
The third book in the series (Girls in Pants: The Third
Summer of the Sisterhood) finds the best friends just graduated from high
school and trying to figure out who they want to be.
Carmen takes a job taking care of Lena’s Greek grandmother
(the one in the first book) to earn some money. Carmen also meets a boy during
the summer. The story follows Carmen on her adventures of dating. While all
this is going on for Carmen, her newly remarried mother gets pregnant and
Carmen is not happy with this.
Lena wants to keep doing her art but her father is not happy
with this.
Tibby experiences a family crisis while her relationship
with a male friends goes beyond “just friends”.
Bridget is still trying to figure out all the information
she got about her mother’s death. Eric (the guy she met at the soccer camp in
the first book) returns to try to get Bridget back.

online
The fourth book (Forever in Blue: The
Fourth Summer of the Sisterhood) is the last book in the series (of their teen
years). This book takes place the
summer after their first year of college.
Lena attends a painting class to try to get over
Kostos and becomes involved in a summer romance. She also is brought face to
face with the one person she hoped to forget about, Kostos. Mean while, Effie
(Lena’s younger sister) goes to Greece and ends up losing the magical pants.
Carmen goes to a drama camp at a university and
falls under the spell of a classmate and forgets about her friends and what the
pants represent.
Bridget goes on a dig for an ancient city on the
coast of Turkey after finding out that Eric is going to Mexico without her. At
the digging site, she falls in love with a follow co-digger (I don’t think
that’s really a word); however, Bridget can’t have him because he is a married
man.
Tibby leaves behind a person (Brian) she loves with
the hopes he will be there when she returns. She attends summer classes in New
York City. When Brian goes to visit Tibby in New York City, they make love and
Tibby thinks she maybe pregnant (she doesn’t end up being pregnant). They break
up and Brian ends up dating Effie. When Tibby finds out, she is not happy and
tries to get him back.

So, now you know what happened
in the other 3 books in this series. You are now caught up with the books. I hope
the last book will be as good as the first four books.
I love this series! I'm actually reading it right now. The last book is every bit as good as the other three. Which book was your favorite in the series so far?
ReplyDeleteI don't have a favorite. They are all good. Hopefully the last book is as good. I'm only on chapter 3.
