Publisher Description
'Summer Sisters is a book to return to again and again. Judy Blume is my hero.' COLLEEN HOOVER
Vix Leonard is twelve when she meets dazzling, reckless Caitlin Somers. Invited to spend holidays on Martha's Vineyard with Caitlin and her eccentric, mysterious family, Vix is welcomed into a life totally unlike her own. As days of bold adventure give way to nights of shy discovery, she and Caitlin come together in the complications of growing up; the refuge of belonging; the pact to Never Be Ordinary . . . Until one devastating summer when a local boy changes everything.
Years later life has driven them apart, but the bruise of their friendship remains. When Caitlin begs Vix to return to the Vineyard for her wedding, Vix knows she will go. She wants to understand what happened that last shattering summer - and why her best friend still has the power to break her heart.
An unforgettable story of two women, two families and the friendships that shape a lifetime from Judy Blume, the author who shaped our teenage selves.
'Insightful, thought-provoking and she knows exactly how women think. I absolutely devoured it. If you liked Blume at school, you'll love this.' DAILY MAIL
'Judy Blume knows exactly how women think and feel. Perfect summer reading.' JENNY COLGAN
Customer Reviews
Timeless book about female friendship
I first read this book when I was 18. I loved it and hated it and it made me cry. 16 years later I read it again for the second time, imagining it would not affect me again. But once again I was moved to tears and I was surprised by how well the writing has withstood the test of time, and, what surprised me more, how much more I could relate to it the second time around.
Must read
I read summer sisters for the first time 14 years ago. My mum, who has always been an avid reader, gave it to me and was insistent would love it. It was the first book I ever remember reading for pleasure and I fell in love with books and reading from that day.
I now read at least a book a week and when I stumbled upon, ok I did a search for, summer sisters I was a bit apprehensive to read it again for fear that it wouldn't be as good as I remembered. Well, I had nothing to worry about, it was even better then I remember!!!!
I have read so many books I can hardly remember books I read two weeks ago. However Summer sisters will never be lost from my memory.
