Summary: Summer Sisters, by Judy Blume
Review: In this book two girls, Vix and Kaitlin, become friends at school. Kaitlin is a rich, exciting, and outgoing girl who brings Vix, a more quiet and reserved girl, to her summer beach cabin. The two form an unbreakable bond and call themselves the summer sisters. They continue to visit the summer cabin from the time they're 12 to they're 30. The story brings you through all the struggles and triumph of the girls through their lives. Also it tells about the heart breaks of their first loves.
This book does a wonderful job of describing the beautiful scenery of the cabin and the small town around it. It lets you feel like you are their with them in their turbulant relationship. Also Judy Blume does a wonderful job of depicting the feelings you have when first fall in love. You won't be able to put this book down. I give it two thumbs up!

Summary: Summer Sisters by Judy Blume
Review: This book was fabulous! I'm currently reading it for the second time. In Summer Sisters, Judy Blume truthfully captures the summer lives of a responsible girl named Vix and her free-spirited and sometimes destructive friend, Caitlin. This is the first adult book I've read by Judy Blume and I'm really impressed! When you read the book you can definitely identify with the characters and they're life-like enough that you probably know someone just like one of them. This book deserves 5 stars! it's great!

Summary: I wished I would've had a real-life Summer Sister!
Review: The book "Summer Sisters" by Judy Blume is detailed story about a friendship that stands the test of time. Ok well, maybe, just the challenging summers of the adolescent years. I highly recommend this book to any young lady or adult female. It's so rare these days to find yourself so caught up in a novel you can't put it down, and are sneaking to read it during and in between classes. From the start, the two girls' friendship is heartwarming. Vix idolizes Caitlin. While Caitlin sees Vix as innocent and remarkably different. By spending their summers, of 6th grade through out of high school, together the girls lay a foundation for friendship that can not be forgotten. Everything young girls wonder about is revealed through the characters: body changes, first crushes, first jobs, first kisses, and images of adult figures, school years, as well as curiosity about each other. The girls experience nearly every milestone of their childhood through teenage years together, but their very different reactions keep the storyline intriguing. The plot made me wish the book would never end. The few added twists at the end of the novel, played off by the character Caitlin, were of utter amazement. Vix and Caitlin became such developed characters by the end of the novel, I felt as though I knew them personally. After I had completed the novel, I wished I would have had a "summer sister" growing up. One thing I would warn readers of, is the sexual content and sexual references made by the characters. They in no way hinder the storyline, but instead add a sense of realism. In comparison to what is shown on cable TV, the sexual innuendos are nothing out of the ordinary. I plan on rereading this novel in a few years when I enter adulthood because it was such a captivating story about friendship, womanhood, and overcoming life's unfairness.

Summary: Young Reader
Review: I'm just 18 and feel in love with Judy Blume's book Summer sisters. She shows how friendship grows, what you gain and what you lose. She doesn't hide what being a teenager is she gives it in full color. I've read this book more than once and every time i do, i learn something new about my self and life.

Summary: Anyone who doesn't like this book has no soul
Review: I don't understand why there are so many bad reviews here. Have these reviewers never *been* children? Because Judy Blume does understand childhood, and she's not afraid to show it in its true colours. She writes from the heart, and that takes a lot of courage. This is a painfully realistic book that actually has *real* people in it, with real flaws and imperfections. It's disturbing at times, moving and tragic. It doesn't have a sentimentally happy ending, nor is it over-the-top sad. There are times in the novel when you think it can't get any worse for the characters, but it still manages to maintain a very positive feel. All in all, this is a beautiful story about friendship, growing up and the relationship between parents and children. Anyone who doesn't like it can't possibly have a heart or soul.

Summary: Superb-Not just a book for females!
Review: I am a 35 year old male who just finished "Summer Sisters." This book touched my heart in ways I did not know were possible. A tale of two females from pre-adolescence through adulthood did not seem like my kind of book. But someone convinced me to read it anyway. I am so thankful I did. "Summer Sisters" is one of the best coming of age and friendship stories I have ever read. The adventures of Caitlin and Vix left me with many emotions: sorrow, wonder, pity and laughter. As each season passes each girl changes ever so much. By the time Caitlin and Vix are in their twenties they wonder how well they really knew each other. This is a book that everyone from 16-100 and male and female should read. REMARKABLE!

Summary: Timeless
Review: Judy Blume who is an author I enjoyed in my pre teen years is never someone I figured would be able to capture an adult audience. Well I was wrong. The story of Vix and Catlin through several summers had me laughing crying and finding myself sneaking in an extra five mins of reading just to see what happened next whenever and whereever I could! YOu are certain to enjoy this book!

Summary: Not what I expected
Review: This book is an easy read, you could probably read it in one night. It was pretty predictable, the characters weren't exactly developed all that well.
