Looking Back -Summer Sisters

Looking Back... In an effort to transfer my book journal entries over to this blog, I'm going to attempt to post (in chronological order) an entry every Friday. I may or may not add extra commentary to what I jotted down in these journals.



Summer Sisters by Judy Blume
Fiction
1998 Delacorte Press
Finished in August 1998
Rating: 4/5 (Good)

Publisher's Blurb:

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...

My Original Notes (1998):

Very good! Entertaining. A little predictable, but it didn't bother me. I enjoyed watching how the two friends' relationship evolved over the years.

My Current Thoughts:

Nope. No memory of this at all. It may be one that I read with an online book group.

  1. I can't recall how long ago I read this - could be nearly 20 years but, I do recall enjoying it. Looks like a nice one to revisit at some point.

    1. Diane, I know I enjoyed it, but I doubt I'll read it again. I usually keep books that I want to re-read and this one isn't in any of my bookcases.

  2. I don't remember anything about this one either... except that I didn't like it much.

    1. JoAnn, I must not have loved it since I no longer own a copy for re-reading.
