Review: I just finished reading this book today. I started it this morning and I could not put it down for a second. It was so true to life and I'm sure everyone can find a piece of themselves in one of the characters.

Summary: Summer Garbage,Yuck!
Review: I could have written this worthless, horrible, book. None of the characters were endearing in any way. The story was your usual rich girl, poor girl, dysfunctional family fiasco.I have been reading Judy Blume since I was a little girl and she has grown up into adult novels. This book, however, was her absolute worst. Please try harder next time, Judy!

Summary: Ah, sister...
Review: Great book. Judy Blume's earthy language in some parts surprised and captivated -- and completely captured the essence of friendship between two young girls. Ah, sister ... my summer sister of so long ago ... where are you now? Has life been kind to you? This book brought back so many memories and a yearning for the friend of my youth. It transcends generations -- and in fact, was loaned to me by my daughter!

Summary: Summer Sisters
Review: I haven't read a Judy Blume book since I was in grade school. My summer friend, Laura and I always traded books, and Judy Blume's were always our favorites. This book was no exception to that! I couldn't put it down, and longed again to be a girl with my summer sister! It's a great summer read!

Summary: A GREAT BOOK!
Review: I really loved this book! From the moment I started it, I didn't want to put it down, and hated to come to the end. It is a beautiful and touching story about the relationship between two best friends and the paths that their individual lives take. It is such a real story that I laughed and cried, and really felt what the characters were going through. The book had a lasting impression on me and I continued to think about it for days after I had finished it.

Summary: Summer Sisters is nostalgic for girls of all ages
Review: Judy Blume is one of the best story tellers of all time. "Summer Sisters", the story of an unlikely friendship developing between 2 very different people, is incredibly well told and can make the reader laugh and cry at the same time. Judy Blume effectively uses plot twists and foreshadowing to totally envelope the reader. The first time I read this, last summer, I read it in 3 hours while in my motel at the Jersey shore; I simply could not put it down. The friendship between Caitlin and Vix reminded me so much of my friendship with a girl named Jaclyn - I am just like Vix and Jaclyn was just like Caitlin. It brought back some of my very best memories, entertained me, and I got completely wrapped up in the characters as if they were people I knew. The book is one of the rare few that I can read to the very last page and then start over again right away. I definitely recommend "Summer Sisters" for anyone who has ever had a best friend.

Summary: Summer Sisters by Judy Blume
Review: Just when I thought I had grown out of Judy Blume books, I was delighted to come across 'Summer Sisters'! This book moved me like no other. I could not believe how much this book brought back memories of my own childhood, and how I cried when I was done reading it because I wanted it to go on forever! There wasn't a day after that day for a long time, when I didn't think about how this novel had affected me. Super job, Judy! Keep up the good work!

Summary: Excellent Summer Reading
Review: Summer Sisters is an absolutely wonderful book. I have enjoyed reading Judy Blume's books for as long as i can remember. It's very true to life and true to a girl's emotions when she's in love for the first time. I'd like to comment on the person's review who said it was a waste of her time. Perhaps before purchasing the book she should have read the description on the back cover. It isn't about Cape Cod. It's about two friends, and their adventures on Martha's Vineyard. The characters are unforgettable, easy to relate to, and easy to love as well as hate. You'll laugh, cry and have a nice time remembering it afterwards.

Summary: Utterly moving!
Review: Summer Sisters is the story of two girls who form the kind of friendship we all wish for. Yes there are parts that are sexually explicit, but Judy Blume writes it with honesty, without being too graphic. The character are well drawn and you begin to feel as though you're there with them, growing up and discovering new things. I found it lagged a bit at a certain point, but I still give my praise for Summer Sisters.

Summary: The Best For a Girl Coming Into Her Own!
Review: As for me being 17 when I got this book I really enjoyed it. Icould relate to the girls growing up and going through life! Hell nowbeening 18 I'am able to relate even more, when I look back on it. I think it's one of the best books I've read in a long time if not the best.
