These books were great and I am waiting for the fourth book to come out...(as well as the second movie). Just an all around great story about four girls who share a lifelong friendship and many adventures together. The action never stops..lol It kind of reminds me of the kind of things that Judy Blume might write about.
It was a nice change of pace in my classics collection (young adult series). Sure it has its real life lessons about growing up and dealing with change but it was just More...

I loved these books. Normally, I would not have read this series as an adult, but I was so curious after watching the movie. I knew that there was more to the books than what the movie had played out and I was right. The first movie is the only comparison worth mentioning since the second movie just combined (horribly I might add) three books in to one. Also, I liked the way the author told the story. She really got me in to the characters and before I knew it, I was on the 4th book.

I absolutely love this series! It is full of romance, loss, and everyday (some not so every day) problems. This is the perfect book for well... girly-realsitic-novel-lovers ( is that a possible phrase?). But even me who does usually not like these types of books LOVED them!

I thought that the auther did a great job of not covering up real emotions that girls go through and not making it sound all great and wonderful things happen when you choose these big things that every girl is faced with... It was a good read!

I picked up all four of these books and blasted through them in about a day. I decided to read them so I could talk about them with my 15-year-old sister. They were a fun, quick read. I liked that the book had action and consequences from real-life situations, and that the four girls in the book had to grapple with their own shortcomings and insecurities. Yes, there's lots of teenage drama and some fun love interests sprinkled throughout, but the real charm of these books is the self-discovery d

Book 1 - I finished this in 2-3 days - definitely a very fast read if I can do it that quick, but it was light, fluffy & fun. Perfect for warm weather, mindless entertainment!
Book 2 - Easily as entertaining as the first. I think I'm going to be sad when I'm done with the series.
Book 3 - Still as enjoyable as the first 2. Fun, light fluff, and still very pertainable to issues teenagers face with the attitudes they tend to have. I must read the 4th book!

At first I really liked these books, but then it started to bother me how alot of the stories are the same. They fall in love, realize themselves or something... it's like, how many times can you realize yourself? I say once. But anyway, it also bothered me how I have to wait so long for the story of each girl, like how their stories are broken up so much. But I had to give it three stars because I originally liked them soo much.

i always find myself reading these every winter. they are definately high school girl books, but i find the honesty in the characters intriguing. i find the girls empowering. plus, the setting is summer and when it's 20 below outside there's nothing better than pretending you're in the heat of mexico and italy...or just working at your summer job.

Easy read of fun young girls and their adventures over the summer. I truly enjoy reading silly books that don't cause you to think too hard about the different levels of the meaning of life. Although if you wanted to be deep you could come up with a few "deep thoughts" the book is trying to teach.

I really liked this series. It is one of those stories you just connect with. I am super excited to hear that a fifth book will be released this summer! It will immediately move to the top of my reading list. I haven't been excited about a new book coming out in a long time!

Friendship+Love+Summer+MagicPants? What fun! The enjoyment I got out of reading the these first three in the series outweigh the disappointment of the fourth. The movie based on the first was entertaining, but did wildly digress from the novel, just so you know.

Wow, I just listened to these on audio this summer and I have to say they were much better the second time around. Maybe these are the types of books that sound better read aloud. Or maybe I was just jaded last time, expecting teeny bopper dribble.

These books are so good. And if it has been awhile since you've read the last one they fill you up about it in the begining. I haven't read the last one yet 'Girls in blue' But I can't wait to. I bought it in California since they didn't have it here.

Very cute books, quick and fun reads. The characters really grow on you, and over the 4-novel series you get to watch them grow up. The stories are sweet and engaging, and this is a great book both for the young and young at heart.

I enjoyed all 4 of these books. (I THINK there were 4!) Got a little racy at times, especially the last book, but I had fun getting to know these girls. Made me think of my own terrific BFFs & how lucky I am. :)

Yeah, I liked this one, it just continues the stories of the 4 friends. There was a little bit of love happening, enough to keep me reading, but nothing overwhelming. I think I liked the first book the best.

Even though these are intended for young adult readers, I really enjoyed these books! If you work with adolescents, esp girls, you might, too. She's great at writing characters - it doesn't ever seem forced.

I loved all three of these books. They were very simple, but took me back to my early childhood books. I found all of the main characters to be so endearing, and they were just fun to read.
