Summary: Not worth the money
Review: I was on a vacation and looking for a good read when I picked up this book. I loved Judy Blume's charming books as a kid, (Fudge, Are you There God, etc.) and thought her writing style in Summer Sisters would be a grown-up equivalent. I was pretty darn disappointed. The book sort of reminds you of wanna-be, second-rate Danielle Steele. Judy Blume's trying hard to be racy, but the characters are totally two-dimensional and seem like ridiculous caricatures. The book is totally predictable: Vix, the solid, dependable friend meets Caitlin, the man-crazy bad girl. Ever read Sweet Valley High? That's the level of writing we're talking about here. The plot just kind of rambles, and the ending just seems lame. Blech.

Summary: Great book!
Review: Judy Blume has been a favorite of mine since I was a youngster in grade school. She's still got it, and what's even better, she's got it for adults, too!

Summary: Could I give it ZERO stars??
Review: This is not Judy Blume quality. I was disappointed and expected more. Too sexual for teens, too immature for adults. I guess she was aiming at the soap opera audience. Aim higher, Judy.

Summary: Summer Sisters is a believable and entertaining story.
Review: Summer Sisters is a wonderful story that stays interesting from beginning to end. The reading flows and moves quickly. The characters were diverse and believable. I love how the reader actually gets into each character's head and knows what they are thinking. The ending is a good conclusion, leaving the reader a little sad but with an easy feeling. This was my first Judy Blume adult novel and I will definately be going back for more.

Summary: I was sad when I finished the book
Review: I loved this story! When I finished I was sad, because I knew I would "miss" the characters. Anyone who has close girlfriend can relate to this heartwarming story of friendship and heartache...

Summary: After all these years...
Review: After all of the years she is still my favorite author, from pre-pubescence to adulthood, I still cannot put her books down.I can remember when I was eight years old sitting in a dimly-lit corner of our elementary school library reading 'Are You There God, It's Me Margaret?' hoping when it was my "day" I would have enough strength to tell my mother. After reading 'Summer Sisters' I am convinced her story telling is monumental. I sat, this time in my brightly lit living room of my own home, laughing and crying just as I had as a little girl, just with a few more years of experience wishing I had had the luxury of summers in Martha's Vineyard. (P.S. I thought the ending took an intense turn, which made the book that much more inviting.)

Summary: I Loved this book,I hated to put it down.
Review: Judy Blume was great with this book it brought me back to my adolesent years, I couldn't wait to finish the book but then was so sad to read the last page. I wanted Vix and Cat to go on forever.

Summary: Bad even for summer reading!
Review: Interesting that many readers' criteria for a good read is how quickly one can get through a book. This was absolutely terrible -- from the sex to the money to the dingleberries -- trash! Kills me that I saw copies on a rack for summer reading displayed with books by Anne Tyler, Jane Smiley, and Joanna Trollope, as though all things are equal!

Summary: Been there, read that
Review: I didn't find one original thought, one original character in the whole book. The book is like dozens I've read before and hope to never read again.

Summary: AWESOME!!! BUY THIS BOOK TODAY!
Review: I read Judy Blume books as a teenager and have loved all of them. I really enjoyed reading Summer Sisters. I couldn't put it down. I had pre-ordered the book before it became available and was done reading it the day after I got it. I just ordered another copy to give to my best friend. When I finished the book I was really sad. I missed Caitlin and Vix and felt like I had lost two friends. This is definately the best book I have read this summer.
