Book Reviews of Forever in Blue: The Fourth Summer of the Sisterhood (The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants)Book Review: Why the unnecessary angst? Summary: 3 StarsI really loved the first 2 books in this series, but have been disappointed with the last 2. I feel the author threw in some plot points for the sake of drama, instead of just letting life unfold.
Bee-Now she's an archeologist? What? This was out of left field, though her being interested in a married man seemed in character.
Tibby-never would have treated Brian that way. Tibby was always my favorite and this just really wasn't how you'd expect her character to act. Why not continue to explore the relationship instead of a break up/make up?
Carmen-Morphed into a totally new person. She was always my least favorite of the girls, I like her even less here.
Lena-WHY can't an author occasionally give us a happy ending when it comes to the couple? Again-unnecessary angst here-they love each other to pieces, so just live with the long distance thing for awhile! Why yet another impromptu crying fest/reunion??
I did like this better then book 3, and fans of the series will want to see it through, it's just disappointing because it could have been so much better.
Summary of Forever in Blue: The Fourth Summer of the Sisterhood (The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants)With unraveled embroidery and fraying hems, the Traveling Pants are back for one last, glorious summer.
Lena: Immerses herself in her painting and an intoxicating summer fling, fearing that the moment she forgets about Kostos will be the moment she sees him again.
Carmen: Falls under the spell of a sophisticated college friend for whom a theatrical role means everything and the heritage of the Pants means nothing.
Bridget: Joins a dig for an ancient city on the coast of Turkey and discovers that her archaeology professor is available in every way except one.
Tibby: Leaves behind someone she loves, wrongly believing he will stay where she has left him.
Join Ann Brashares's beloved sisterhood once again in a dazzling, fearless novel. It's a summer that will forever change the lives of Lena, Carmen, Bee, and Tibby, here and now, past and future, together and apart.
From the Hardcover edition. Ann Brashares has created a wonderful, heartfelt series for teens (and adults) around a pair of pants. In her breakout bestseller, The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants, Brashares introduced readers to four girls, Lena, Bridget, Carmen, and Tibby, and to the magical pair of jeans that fit them all perfectly, and inspired them to live their young lives to the fullest. Forever in Blue, the fourth and final novel in the series, promises a dazzling finale--one "last glorious summer" for the four girls, and their fans.

A Note from Ann Brashares December 1, 2006 Dear Amazon Reader, Well, here we are together again. If you are getting ready to read the fourth book, Forever in Blue, that means we've probably spent some time together. I hope you've enjoyed it. I know I have. We don't know each other and we may never get to meet, but I feel like we are connected nonetheless. We've spent time with four fictional girls together. We've puzzled over their lives and their choices. We've rooted for them and sometimes felt annoyed by them. We've shared some hopes for them, I think, and in the process for ourselves. So thank you for being part of the sisterhood with me. I have really appreciated your company along the way. Happy reading, Ann Spend Time with the Sisterhood  Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants Boxed Set |  Girls in Pants |  The Second Summer of the Sisterhood |  The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants |
