I don't care how "childish" anyone says these books are. They are great and paint, to a close perfection, the life of high school friendships--later transitioning to college. They're poiniant, captivating, and well written. They make you laugh, they make you cry. It's a beautiful thing.
Confession: I own them all and have read each of them at least twice. Okay, three times.

These books were fun reads and definitely reminded me of how it as to be a teen and all the drama. The friendships were touching and I could relate to each of the characters in different ways, but I could have done without the repetitive emphasis on teen sex. In a couple instances, I felt the author did the subject a little bit of justice because the characters endured the heartbreak, uncertainty, etc. that inevitably results, but in the end, the subject was just treated too casually. And by

I started reading these books while I was on vacation in the DR because I wanted a story I knew and wouldn't need to put much thought into while I was relaxing.
Having seen the movies first, I knew how the stories that would unfold and yet I was still interested in reading each of the novels in the series because they were different enough from the movie to keep my interest.
I enjoyed how with each book you saw the characters grow. Brashares does a very good job at reflecting the growt More...

Quatre filles très fortement liées depuis leur naissance vont, pour la première fois, passer leur été séparément. Avant de partir, elles vont faire un genre de pacte autour d'un jean magique, qui sera leur lien pendant l'été, et elles devront se le partager à tour de rôle.
Les quatre filles, Carmen, Tibby, Lena et Bridget sont vraiment différentes les unes des autres, de part leur caractère, leur passé, leur situation familiale... Chacune va passer un été différent, mais elles vont toutes v More...

These books are amazing, and were supposed to be finished at just 4. Now, Ann Brashares has another one coming out in June, and I am so excited I could explode! The movies for these are really similar to the books, and also AMAZING!

These books are written for and read by teens and preteens?!! I certainly wouldn't let any daughter of mine read them! Talk about teaching girls its okay to be loose, and that friends are more important than family. Bleh!

I thought these were a fun, light read. A little hot and heavy at times for the teenage crowd. The last couple books were a bit too dramatic and jumpy for me, but when I start reading a series I pretty much have to finish!

I really liked these books. It was such a fun but touching story about 4 girls growing up. They are quick reads. And my most favorite part ( you might think I am funny but) I loved the quotes at the beginning of each chapter.

This series was a fun one to read. My mom and I read them together. It was a blast. We could never wait to get our hands on the next juicy book. I think the first two were the best.

I really enjoyed the first but the books get progressively worse. The also get progressively immoral. They get teenage girls sucked in and then introduce them to smut.

I LOVED these books. Awesome set of characters. I couldn't put them down and love re-reading them. I felt like I saw myself and my friends in the characters.

I love these books. It is funny because when you describe the premise of the book it can sound silly. But these books are deeper than that.

I own all these separately, why did they have to publish so many different versions of the cover. This box set look mighty tasty.

Overall, I think that the whole series was great. There were a few parts that I thought were innapropriate.

I loved these books. The covers look sort of childish, but they are more mature than you'd think.

Reading these was my guilty secret. They are definitely for kids, but semi-amusing. :)

I've always loved these books so much- for me they are home in so many ways. When I'm ever sad they're a comfort and I feel like they were written so beautifully and the theme of undying bonds of sisterhood and friendship are so strong and it flows so well. Each one is not the same without the other 3 either, so to truly love them it's important (from my pov) to read them all! They are lovely and the relationship brighten you because they're so life like and sweet to the heart.
