Summer Sisters is an adult read about two friends from young through adult, Caitlin stays on Martha's Vinyard every summer with her father and has invited Vix from Santa Fe to stay and this becomes an every summer happening. Vix becomes a part of this privileged family through these summer visits so the family pay her Harvard education while Caitlin is the wild one who chooses to live the lavish life in Europe instead of school. It is a good fast read.

I loved this book; I did not want it to end. It starts out rather slow but after a few chapters it picks up nicely. It made me laugh and made me cry. I wish Judy Blume would do a sequel to it.

I didn't really care for this book. I thought that the way the book was written was confusing. At least Judy Blume puts each name at the top of the pages so that you can following who is thinking and saying what. I thought that there were too many characters to keep track of - I kept getting them mixed up with who belonged to whom. I really didn't like the way the book ended - to much like a television series finally (never really tied up the loose ends).

Beware: This is definately an adult book with a great deal of references to adult themes.

I really enjoyed the story, made me want to visit Martha's Vineyard. The story was a bit far fetched, but wonderfully told.

I read this book in about 1 week, and couldn't stop reading when I got to the last quarter of the book. Hope you enjoy reading this book too.

I did not like the book. I expected better writing and less smut from the author of the children's books I loved.
