Rating:  - Rating of Book: B
I had high expectations for this book. I enjoyed the past three books incredibly. So when I picked up "Forever in Blue" I was excited. I was reading when I realized that it wasn't up to par with the past few books. The book seemed like the author was trying to speed up the growth of the girls and it went too fast. First, they're going to college - Carmen goes to Williams, Bridget goes to Brown but is in Turkey for an archeology dig, Lena goes to RISD and meets a cute boy named Leo, and Tibby goes to the New York film school and is unsure about the relationship she and Brian have created.
Carmen has this snotty, unappreciative, decisive friend named Julia who is a total user and tries out for a play but ends up getting an mediocre one instead of the one that she really wanted. Carmen gets the good role and Julia will do anything to get on that show. It's very infuriating when Carmen's notorious attitude is pushed far inside.
Bridget goes to Turkey and sees that she has an attractive colleague working with her and is immediately attracted to her, but unfortunately, he's already taken. It's very similar to when she met Eric, but now she's more controlled and less reckless.
Lena is taking some summer classes and finds this gorgeous boy named Leo who is a great painter. Twists and turns happen in her summer, and I thought she was the most interesting this summer to read.
Tibby takes her relationship with Brian to the next level, only to have it backfire and weeks of worrying. Tibby finally has the courage to break it off but finds that she really does love Brian. She may realize this too late.
All in all, this book was okay. I didn't especially like the sudden turn from fun-loving, careless teenagers to a group of grown ups who desert their heritage. I didn't hear much about the Pants except at the end. This book, though, left me with many questions unanswered. There should have been something where it fowards a decade to show where the girls are at. I hope that Ann Brashares makes something like a new generation of the Sisterhood, with the daughters of the four girls. I recommend the first three books and possibly the fourth.
Rating:  - Great Book - includes sexual content
I enjoyed the book completely. However, a bit explicit for my 12 year old daughter! And after she read the first 3 books, I allowed her to read this one, too - but with some discussions about how the girls in the book are in college, a lot older than she is and able to make more mature decisions about their own sexuality than she is now or will be for many years.
Bottom line - a great book and conclusion to the "Traveling Pants" series!
Rating: - Good series
I enjoyed all of these books. Don't read this one though unless you read the other 3 first. This wasn't my favorite one, but I was still sad when it was over.
Rating: - I am sure it will be great
I am sure it will be great, but I have not read book yet, I am on book 3, but Amazon made me rate this book now. I am sure it will be good though.
Rating: - Sad to see the end
I love this Pants book as much as the first three and I was sad to read the end of it. Very touching and hearfelt.
