The Second Summer of the Sisterhood

The sequel to the Travelling Pants, and rumoured to be a film waiting to happen. I have to say that I enjoyed the Second Summer much more than the first. Bridget finds that her Dad has hidden letters from her Grandmother. She decides to go down to stay with her Grandmother for the summer, but she doesn’t let her Grandma know she is coming. Tibby goes to film school for the summer and has to decide what she wants to do with her life. Lena struggles with the after-effects of what happened in Greece the year before and tries to uncover a secret that her Mom has been keeping.  Carmen now has to deal with her feelings as her Mom starts to date again.

The stories are all very interesting although Bridget’s was the most compelling. I started to get annoyed with Carmen, although I think that may be because I’m getting old. This is definitely a good summer read with just the right amount of serious conflict.
