Forever in Blue

Brashares, Ann. Forever in Blue. New York: Random House, 2007. 384 pages. (Fiction Series)

It’s the fourth summer of the sisterhood and Lena, Carmen, Bee, and Tibby have gone to college. This summer they’re off on their separate ways and they must rely on the Traveling Pants to keep them together- maybe a little too much. Bee is off to Turkey for an archeological dig where she falls in love with the floor –literally. Lena tries to forget Kostos but is reluctant, fearing that the day she forgets him will be the day she sees him again. Tibby finds her true love, but something will change her mind. Carmen expects to spend her summer working on sets but is dragged into another role. At the end of all this the pants (which may be smarter than them) will find a way to bring them all back together.

These books definitely are unpredictable, but they leave some to be desired. I guess I thought the last book would be phenomenal but it just wasn’t. It’s not like they are bad books they just don’t have enough passion to hook you and make you want to never stop reading. Granted, this book did have a good ending for the series. Okay, but not the best.
