Megan (lahairoi) | 7470 comments Just completed #22 (alliteration) - The Second Summer of the Sisterhood by Ann Brashares. Really well-done sequel to the first Sisterhood book! The author managed to pick up where the first book left off and quickly update the reader while getting to the story. Good character development. There was a bit of teen angsty in this book, but not quite as much as some YA includes. Definitely worth reading! 4 stars

The concept was fascinating and carries an idealism of the way humanity could improve. Definitely worth reading! 5 stars
