I liked this one okay enough. I couldn't remember the first book so I had to keep looking up details online so I wouldn't get the girls mixed up. The story switches between the four girls, sometimes within very short periods (a page of one girl, a page of the next, etc.). Sometimes it was annoying because the girl we were focusing on never did anything or I was more interested in what another girl was doing, but doing so did also sometimes showed how close the girls were (and how some summers, nothing interesting actually happens). I had to keep reminding myself that the girls were teenagers and were bound to make stupid decisions. Of the girls, I was incredibly frustrated with Carmen and Tibby. Carmen acted really bratty because her mom was dating someone and Tibby was making friends with the wrong people. I had to remember that they were bound to make stupid decisions and they did eventually realize that. I was more interested in what Bridget was doing because she was staying with her Grandma that she hadn't seen since she was really young, but was pretending that she was someone just looking for a summer job. Her story was one of the more heartfelt ones in the bunch.

Overall, I was annoyed at points, confused at points, but I also wanted to see how these girls were doing. I admittedly am jealous that these girls are such close friends because I never had friends like that. While I am not wowed by this series, I will likely keep going because I own the rest of the books and I am curious to see where these girls will be when they are older.

I wasn't terribly impressed with the first book, but I was interested enough in the characters to want to read more. I am so glad I did!

This book seemed more realistically teenaged-girl, both the good and bad. The girls had to face things in their lives that they could avoid as children, and came out stronger.

Though other people criticized the way that Bee changed, I thought it was actually a pretty accurate depiction of a girl hurt by her early sexual experience. Teenagers experiment with their appearance and stereotype all the time, and Bee did not have a family to try to steer her course.

For whatever reason this book just touched me in a way that the first one didn't. I like book series that age with their audience, and I think this one has really managed to do that.

It was ok. Didnt enjoy this as much as the first one... so I think I will stop here :)

Teenagers are frustrating but I love this series

3.5 ⭐️ rounded up. I feel like in my mind this would be like the second movie where they were in Greece- but it totally wasn’t! But that’s okay, I really enjoyed the character development of them all. Leena and Carmen are still very dumb, and the worst. But it was a cute read, I’d say better than the first in some ways.

I listened to this on audio for a read along #pantsalong. I was hoping to like this as much as book one but it just was a bit boring and unrealistic. Just like the first book the quotes between each chapter just made no sense at all. Also the switching of POVs without notice still continued to make me confused and frustrated. Towards the end I was getting annoyed with the girls and wanted to know more about the parents. I have the next book and I'm debating on continuing or not.

I forgot what Kostas did! Ugh!

This book is honest to a fault. Again the girls are very real and evolving at their own pace. I didn't like this at first, as one of the girls air headed all of a sudden and very unlikable. Where the others were growing up. But then I remembered, not everyone learns and grows at the same time.
A few far fetched plot lines, but once again they are incoorperated well into the ultra realistic. Beautiful writing, focusing on mothers and daughters, i liked the link between The September groups. onto the next...

Re/read 2016
I'm struck once again at the link between mothers & daughters. B & her grandma, linked through hair and the loss of her Marley.
Tibby & the shame of seeing the movie about her mother. Turning the tables on her and making her want her mum.
Lena, her mother, Kostas and Eugiuen. Greek lovers and privacy.
Carmen's insolence being braught up short by the grace of her mothers behaviour towards her ex husband and new wife.

Actual Rating 3.5 Stars.

I picked this whole series up in a second hand book shop for a few dollars as I quite liked the first book and the movie that followed. This was more of the same - but just set a year later.

In the first book I hung on every word of Lena's story and her trip to Santorini (still a sore point as the movie totally botched the whole story of that...anyway moving on :-P....). However, in this book I was totally immersed in Bree's story and would just keep reading to get to the next section on Bree. Bree is such a strong and dominant character - but also very broken - so having her fall apart to come back stronger was quite impacting.

Carmen and Tibby's stories were pretty average for the whole book and I could see the ending coming for Lena's story the second her Mum's back story with Eugene was introduced quite early on in the book - so it was just waiting for the inevitable ending to happen. It was a "nice" book but it left me quite unsatisfied as it was all a little too superficial in its dealing of some big issues. So I ended with a feeling that I more than liked it - but didn't quite love it. A half star rating it is. Will get to the final two books sometime later this year and finally get to watch the second movie.

Hehe hehehe don't read PG 269 if ur pretty you g

Following the tradition of last summer, the Pants make their rounds again. Tibby's leaving for film school, Bridget's off to Alabama while Lena and Carmen spend their summers at home.

I loved the Second Summer of the Sisterhood! This book was much more emotional than the first. I shed a few tears along the way. My favourite character in this instalment would have to be Bridget. She did a 180 from her impulsive and reckless ways in the first book and took time off to rediscover herself. I really liked her grandmother and Billy. I love how the book alternates between the four girls' stories in a way that you will never get bored.
