Forever in Blue

the fourth summer of the sisterhood

by Ann Brashares

This is the fourth book of the series and is absolutely wonderful. The story is about four friends; Bridgette, Carmen, Lena and Tibby who found this pair of jeans in a thrift store several summers ago. And it has through the summers kept them close together, its magic has helped them through their troubles. And also at a physical level the jeans fit all four of them perfectly!

In this book, the sisterhood has been separated due to their different commitments. Bridgette is off to Turkey for an archaeological dig, Tibby is in film school and sorting out his relationship with Brian, Carmen is finding her footing with her identity, and Lena is in art school and handling her relationship with Kostos.

Well, firstly the story is great. Even though I'm not a girl but I can still relate to what each of the characters is going through. And even not, you feel for them and their lives.

On a writing level, well I love all the quotes in between these chapters for all these books. And the pacing of all four characters are perfect. It's just the sort of book you never want to end and just keep on reading and reading and reading. Alas, the ending is wonderful too.

This book is touching, lovely and beautiful. Pants = love.
