    Sequel to: The second summer of the Sisterhood. This is the best one yet. Brashares's writing definately has improved.Quotesp.88 [Carmen] There should be a law disallowing eight-year-olds from decorating their rooms, especially where stickers were involved. Why had her eight-year-old self saddled her seventeen-year-old self with so many dumb decals and see-through unicorn window appliques. They were impossible to get off.I thought this was a great statement illustrating how we change as we grow up. Brashares does a wonderful job stating this idea/reflection...p.155 [Tibby reflecting about the former Nanny] Some people spent their lives wallowing in resentments, and other people, like Loretta, let ill fortune wash right over them.Too often we focus on the negative and don't realize the positive.

    The Pants first came to us at the perfect moment. That is, when we were splitting up for the first time. It was two summers ago when they first worked their magic, and last summer when they shook up our lives once again. You see, we don’t wear the Pants year-round. We let them rest so they are extra powerful when summer comes. (There was the time this spring when Carmen wore them to her mom’s wedding, but that was a special case.)

    Now we’re facing our last summer together. In September we go to college. And it’s not like one of those TV shows where all of us magically turn up at the same college. We’re going to four different colleges in four different cities (but all within four hours of one another—that was our one rule). We’re headed off to start our real lives.

    Tomorrow night at Gilda’s we’ll launch the Pants on their third summer voyage. Tomorrow begins the time of our lives. It’s when we’ll need our Pants the most.
