Book 5
Sisterhood of the Travelling Pants.
Another "SSR" book completed. I find myself extending SSR time, because I'm selfish and I want to keep reading.
Well, it was everything I expected, after seeing the movie first. I now want to see the movie again. I didn't feel all that emotionally invested in these kids until it was almost over. Although there are other books in the series, I don't think I'll go out and buy them right away, as I did with the Twilight series.
It makes me remember a time when life was more simple though, and friendships were the biggest part of my life. Me and my girls that I'd grown up with. I remember one year, having a slumber party on my friend's parents' floor and from our "big bed" (as that's what we called it when we drug out ever single blanket and layed it on the floor and all snuggled up)my friend said, "promise we'll always be like this." And we did. And yet we aren't.
While its sad, yet poignant, its a fond memory. I don't know if I've ever had a network of family/friends since those girls.
This book just reminded me of all of us. Now, we're all still friends, but no longer sisters as we once were. I feel sad thinking that eventually, all these girls in the book: Tibby, Carmen, Bridgett, and Lena will eventually just be friends and not sisters any more...
