  • I thought that this book could have been ended better...seriously...the pants get lost? I understand the characters needed to move on, but it seems like losing the pants was an easy out

  • Other than Carmen's story which was so-so, this book finished the saga out perfectly. Oh and Kostos/Lena fans have nothing to worry about. :smile smile:

    What a contrast from the other novels in the series! It starts off somewhat depressing...with Carmen missing from the groups' summer kick-off and her chapters so depressing and it seems Carmen lost all of her self-esteem in her first year of college. How did it disappear?Quotes, Questions & Commentsp.43 [Lena observes Leo for the first time] Desire was just the dumbest thing. You wanted what you wanted until it was yours. Then you didn't want it anymore. You took what you had for granted until it was no longer yours. This, it seemed to her [Lena], was one of the crueler paradoxes of human nature.-Have you ever wanted an event to occur or to get something, but once it happened or you got it it didn't seem as desirable? What are your thoughts on this situation? Why do we feel this way?**SPOILER**A fitting conclusion, I suppose. A few loose ends were tied-up while a couple more were added, but not big enough to compell Brashares to write more in the series--especially since the pants are gone. A sad, but fitting conclusion.

With unraveled embroidery and fraying hems, the Traveling Pants are back for one last, glorious summer.

Lena: Immerses herself in her painting and an intoxicating summer fling, fearing that the moment she forgets about Kostos will be the moment she sees him again.

Carmen: Falls under the spell of a sophisticated college friend for whom a theatrical role means everything and the heritage of the Pants means nothing.

Bridget: Joins a dig for an ancient city on the coast of Turkey and discovers that her archaeology professor is available in every way except one.

Tibby: Leaves behind someone she loves, wrongly believing he will stay where she has left him.

Join Ann Brashares's beloved sisterhood once again in a dazzling, fearless novel. It's a summer that will forever change the lives of Lena, Carmen, Bee, and Tibby, here and now, past and future, together and apart.
