Rating:  Summary: What a great book, couldn't put it down! Review: What an interesting story. This book made me laugh, sad, and at the very end the unexpected made me cry. Loved it!
Rating:  Summary: excellent description of female relationships Review: I could not put this book down once I began to read it. I am 29 years old, and I have had so many relationships/friendships in which I was Vix that I cannot count them. Because of this, I have very limited contact with women now. The pain of being betrayed is hard to handle, but the pain of letting go and not having a friend at all is equally hard.
Rating:  Summary: It was the most touching, intriguing book I have ever read. Review: Me being a 17 year old girl going through about everything in this book, the hard college decisions the love affairs, having what you thought was your closest friend in the world and then you turn around and they back stab you or they do something that you would never think they could ever be capable of doing.. Everything in this book is like what goes on today... It touched me and inspired me so... That I told all my friends that they just had to read this book... I think Judy should come up with a sequel cause I would absolutely read it and I know others would also... I Loved it... It was one of the best books!! One that you know you will never forget about, cause it touched you so....
Rating:  Summary: heartbreaking... Review: this story hits close to home for many women... very disapointed that vix did not end up with Bru. the ending seemed more contrived and not as flowing as the rest of the story.
Rating:  Summary: To those who say they don't like this book: GET REAL!! Review: This book takes an honest look at a time that many of us forget; a time when all we had was our feelings and instincts and therefore lived from our heart. Not everyone will be comfortable looking back at those days, but I say it's a great learning experience and helps address many feelings that remain unclear to those living solely in the future and not enough in the past! Because it's such a quick and easy read, even the couch potatoes won't miss that much TV time.
Rating:  Summary: An All Nighter book Review: This is one of the best books I have ever read. It is so discriptive, and very realistic. I started reading it and couldn't put it down. I read the whole thing in a day. It was that good
Rating:  Summary: Yuk... Review: Bloom should stick to writing children's books
Rating:  Summary: Amazing!!! Review: Judy Blume has always been my favorite author, ever since i was a child. Summer Sisters was an incredible book. It touched on everything and every emotion that people have to deal with in life, and I really think that it made me a stronger person from reading it. I highly recommend it to everyone.
Rating:  Summary: May I suggest my thoughts for the sequel? Review: I've read the reviews by everyone else and so far I think I am the only one who felt emotionally misled. Throughout the entire book we are drawn to the character of Victoria because we can sympathize with her tough life circumstances. However, at the end we know for sure how in love with Bru she is. It was not wrong of her to put off thoughts of marriage to him and for the year after we see that she can never forget him and is about ready to make a life with him. I was so hurt for her! I'm glad she got Gus, but I didn't feel as though it was the same kind of love. So here is what I suggest Ms. Blume: In the sequel Gus has died from a rare form of cancer. Vix moves back to the island. Bru and Star have long sinced parted because he only settled for her thinking Victoria was out of reach.He is so successful as a contractor and has matured a great deal raising his kids alone. He is hired to renovate Victoria's home and the sparks fly again. This time, they can both discuss their feelings, especially since Bru lost his Mom to the same disease that claimed Gus. Caitlin comes back just as Vix and Bru are about to realize a life together but this time Bru does NOT sleep with her. As a matter of fact we learn that years ago, Bru was preparing to join Victoria in NYC when Caitlin talked him out of it. Please??? A happy ending?
Rating:  Summary: Judy Blume at her best... Review: Having grown up reading all of her wonderful books, I had high expectations of her writing to the same audience as adults...I was not disappointed. This book was true to Judy Blume's style...honest and refreshing. I loved every minute of it!
