Description

#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • READ WITH JENNA BOOK CLUB PICK AS FEATURED ON TODAY • “Summer Sisters is a book to return to again and again.”—Colleen Hoover

“As warm as a summer breeze blowing through your hair, as nostalgic as James Taylor singing ‘How Sweet It Is.’ You remember. So does Judy Blume. How sweet it was.”—Chicago Tribune

 
In the summer of 1977, Victoria Leonard’s world changes forever when Caitlin Somers chooses her as a friend. Dazzling, reckless Caitlin welcomes Vix into the heart of her sprawling, eccentric family, opening doors to a world of unimaginable privilege, sweeping her away to vacations on Martha’s Vineyard, an enchanting place where the two friends become “summer sisters.”
 
Now, years later, Vix is working in New York City. Caitlin is getting married on the Vineyard. And the early magic of their long, complicated friendship has faded. But Caitlin begs Vix to come to her wedding, to be her maid of honor. And Vix knows that she will go—because she wants to understand what happened during that last shattering summer. And, after all these years, she needs to know why her best friend—her summer sister—still has the power to break her heart.

    The overview of the book did not hint at the focus on preteen newly discovered sexuality. While the characters were interesting, I didn’t finish the book. If Blume can’t tell a story without relying on sexual innuendos, she should stop writing. So overdone...
  • Amazing beyond measures

    Sometimes the joys of life are the most taboo principles. Judy Blume writes books that are at the same time easy to read and deeply moving. I enjoyed her as a young adult and now as a middle aged (nearly) senior woman. Her story epitomizes our fears, our dreams, and even our realities. I recommend this book for any woman aged 12 to 112.

    I loved how the author told the story over life time events, it really made the whole story come to life and really pulled you into the story. I loved all the characters and liked how you got to hear from each character in the book, even the ones who didn’t play a big roll in the story plot. I loved Judy bloom books when I was a kid, but this was the first time I read one that she had wrote for adults and I have to say it kept me just as entertained as when I was a kid!
  • MUST READ!!!!!
