Title: Girls in Pants
Author: Ann Brashares
Genre: YA
Rating: 9/10
# pages: 352
Date read: November 2006
Summary: Best friends Tibby, Carmen, Lena and Bridget are back with their magical pair of shared jeans in Girls in Pants: The Third Summer of the Sisterhood. Each summer brings new and difficult challenges, as the perennially separated friends discover afresh this last season before college. Tibby struggles with the idea of close friend Brian becoming her boyfriend, and their fragile relationship is soon tested by a tragedy in her immediate family. Carmen doesn't know how to react when she finds out that her middle-aged mom is pregnant, and Bridget is unpleasantly surprised to be reunited with the boy who broke her heart two summers ago. Finally, Lena, still coming to terms with the loss of her first love, tries to convince her strict father that art school is a better career path than Greek restaurant management. But through every crisis, each girl is assured of the love and support of the created sisterhood when she pulls on the denim armor of the cherished, and by now, a bit fragrant ("Rule # 1. You must never wash the Pants.") Traveling Pants. (Amazon.com)
Review: MUCH better than the second one. I no longer felt frustrated/infuriated by the main characters. Instead they ended up making me fall in love with them all over again. Especially Tibby. And I LOVED Carmen scolding the police officer who pulled them over for speeding, when they were rushing to be with her mother as she gave birth. LOL!
