My aunt Diann gave me this book to read while I was home. The author, Ann Brashares, is the same person who wrote The Traveling Pants books (which I have not read). This is her first novel written for adults.It's a bitter sweet story of three kids who grew up together summering over at their beach houses on Fire Island. But when they grew up, they found their friendships morphing into deeper relationships, and the issue then became: how do they deal with the complexities involved with those changes?
While it does not claim to be deep literature, it is a pleasant read, and it connects to readers on multiple levels.
3.5 Stars, in my book.

You always fool me with your titles. I figured I would happen upon a nostalgic post about how after this summer there would be three of you and no longer two. Alas, I was wrong. You should definitely read The Sisterhood of the Traveling pants though. Very good. Movies...not so much, but the books are great!
Oh, that would have been good!
Sadly, I merely used a book title.
You do make me laugh, though.
