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
Beautiful!
A thoroughly beautiful book that was a joy to read from start to finish. An absolute delight for anyone, whether you were a fan/addict of Judy Blumes literature in their childhood as I was, or not!!
Despite the story being gripping and un-put-downable, it was such a joy to be reminded of how immersive Judys style is. I will not reveal anything of the plot, because I loathe people that do that in reviews, but what I can say is that I was extremely sad that I came to the end of the book, as i knew i was really going to miss the story and all the characters. In fact, that is my only criticism of this book: It finishes!!
And then, to add insult to injury, I discovered that iBooks have NO OTHER Judy Blume books available to buy!!! (Not her grown up stuff anyway)
Sort it out, iBooks, Please!
