Book Reviews of Forever in Blue: The Fourth Summer of the Sisterhood (The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants)
Book Review: Loved it!
Summary: 5 Stars
Let me just start out saying that I loved this book! It exposed human nature and thought unlike a lot of books I have read. I can relate to a lot of their thoughts and insecurities, and this comforted me. Also, it was full of surprises--a few predictable ones, but a few not so predictable.
I was sad from the beginning that Win (Carmen's love interest in the 3rd one) was not in this book-but at the same time I appreciated that. Life is never going to work out perfectly, so I am thankful the book was somewhat realistic. It also allowed you to see Carmen down and depressed and not confident and out-spoken anymore. If things had worked out between Carmen and Win, then Carmen would not have been so lonely without any of her friends. However, the whole way through I was hoping she would call Win or something because I just loved him.
I also didn't really like the whole Bridget making out with a married man, but hey, she discovered herself through that and something she needed to change about herself. I loved the stuff with her and her family at the end...that was really important!
Lena and Kostos sort of being together at the end made me happy, and I really appreciated the points Ann Brashares made through this that their love fell apart and was somewhat imaginary because you can't love each other when you are trying to be perfect. You have to learn to love the imperfections and relax and show your own imperfections to each other. Both of them had to learn to not be people-pleasers.
I really appreciated what happened between Tibby and Brian. Oftentimes, couples don't realize how sex changes your relationship. However, I do wish that at least one of the girls could have head a steady relationship through the novel, but that would probably be too boring haha.
Anyways, I couldn't put this book down and read it all in 2 days even though I was soooo busy! I am sad the series is over, but at the same time, it was able to end on a good note and really expose human nature!

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
