Great book!

While everybody else I know who has read this book has only good things to say, I was disappointed. While reading about a young adult's sexuality was fun and intriguing when I was younger, we were hit over the head with it in this book and it was just too much. I found the book depressing. It was an easy read but I did not enjoy it.

I have read all Judy Blume's books for children. I loved them all. I decided
it was time to read one of her "adult" novels. I read *Smart Women*
first and enjoyed it. I then decided to read *Summer Sisters* and loved it. I am
30 now, but could totally relate to Caitlyn and Vix - it reminded me of my
friend and I growing up.
The one thing I was slightly disappointed in was the ending. It wasn't
terrible, but it wasn't really fulfilling either. I was left feeling like Vix
would never really get over Bru. Her relationship with Gus was thrown together
so quickly. It was as if the last few chapters went by way too quickly. I think
if the relationship with Gus and Vix would have been introduced earlier, it
would have been better.
Either way, I truly enjoyed this book. I would highly recommend it.

A friend of mine recently lent this book to me & I couldn't put it down once I'd started. It was fantastic ! I remembered when I was at school I had read a lot if Judy Blume's books & I thought they were great then. I was really blown away by this one. This book got my emotions going, from laughter to tears. Read it !

I just finished reading Summer Sisters this evening. It came highly recommended by several people. I found very little to like in this book and don't understand why others rave over it. It reads like a trashy novel. The sexual escapades of two teenagers does not make a good read. I doubt there were even 25 pages in the entire book that did not discuss sex or private body parts. I would expect something better from Judy Blume. I would not recommend this book to anyone.

I Read about "Summer Sisters" in a magazine. A friend lent it to me when I questioned whether she had read\heard of it. I honestly could not stop reading. It was like an addiction. It evokes so many emotions and memories from the reader. I became instantly sucked into the lives of the two Summer Sisters. It was truly of the best books I have ever read. I bought a copy for myself and some for friends. Judy Blume is my hero and I hope that one day I will have the incredible writing talent that she has. So powerful and interesting. Judy Blume has done it again.

I was so happy when I heard Judy Blume wrote a novel for adults. As soon as I read the first two pages, I knew I wouldn't be able to put it down. I finished this book in less than two days. You become the characters in the book. It's definitely a keeper!
