Relation Supposing Books Summer Sisters
In the summer of 1977, Victoria Leonard's world changed forever—when Caitlin Somers chose her as a friend. Dazzling, reckless Caitlin welcomed Vix into the heart of her sprawling, eccentric family, opening doors to a world of unimaginable privilege, sweeping her away to vacations on Martha's Vineyard, a magical, wind-blown island where two friends became summer sisters...Now, years later, Vix is working in New York City. Caitlin is getting married on the Vineyard. And the early magic of their long, complicated friendship has faded. But Caitlin has begged Vix to come to her wedding, to be her maid of honor. And Vix knows that she will go—for the friend whose casual betrayals she remembers all too well. Because Vix wants to understand what happened during that last shattering summer. And, after all these years, she needs to know why her best friend—her summer sister—still has the power to break her heart...

How did it make it to nearly 30 without this treasure in my life? Perfect solo beach day read.My boyfriend's sister gave me this book to read when we visited her in Eugene, OR. I read the whole thing on the plane between Portland and Norfolk. So, it's a fast read! I also had a friend when I was a girl who was like a sister to me, and although we didn't spent as much time exploring our "Power" as the girls in this book, there was a lot I could relate to. It's not life-changing writing, but it's an interesting story with unique, funny characters.
This was really an awful attempt at storytelling. If it hadn't been such a breezy read, I probably would have abandoned it. As a kid, I enjoyed her books but her skill set as a writer did not seem to evolve as she ventured into adult fiction. I kept waiting for a story to emerge but none did. This book was dull beyond description, the characters were flat, one-dimensional. Blume wrote in a point-of-view that was constantly flitting from one unimportant character to the next. I mean really, who
What a brilliant novel. Like some others have said, I loved Judy Blume's books as a kid so was interested to find this novel for adults. I was pleasantly surprised and blown away at the detail of this book.This was the best book I had read - possibly still remains my favourite book of all.I highly recommend it.
For a 400 page book exploring the relationship between "summer sisters" and the relationships around them, this book was incredibly shallow. Despite the years of information we're given on these girls, watching them grow up since the age of 12, I never really felt that we are able to truly "know" them. We are told so much, but shown so little, especially in regards to Caitlin. The lack of knowing their minds kept me from really caring about them on a deeper level. These characters are such
Not a book you read. A book you devour. Unsurprisingly, there are few reviews by men here. But I think any male writing writing female characters (in this case female friendships) could benefit from reading Blume. And, yes. This is a great hot summer read, best read on a dock.
3.5 starsI LOVED Judy Blume books when I was growing up. One of my favorite memories is reading her books over and over!This is my first adult Judy Blume book. I honestly wasn't sure if I would read any of her newer books. I'm not sure why... Maybe I just wanted to keep her associated with books from my youth. But I happened to come across this one when visiting my mother. Someone had dropped off some books for her to look through. I thought I would read a few pages just to see how it was and
