Summer Sisters by Judy Blume

This is the only adult book I have read by Judy Blume, and I was pleasantly surprised. I really loved this book. I love books that wrap you up in the character’s world and really make you feel all different kinds of emotions.

The book takes you through the ups and downs of two girls’ friendship. They are two very different girls who, almost by luck end up becoming best friends. They consider themselves “summer sisters” since they spend every summer vacationing together and this impacts their lives in very defining ways.

During the course of this book I couldn’t help compare the two girls to one of my best friends and myself. I think anyone who has had a really close friend would enjoy this book because it really brings you back to those days. I will say, I thought the ending was a bit weak, but the rest of the book made up for it.

I give it 4.5 stars and consider it one of my favorites.
