Ann Brashares has created a wonderful, heartfelt series for teens (and adults) around a pair of pants. In her breakout bestseller, The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants, Brashares introduced readers to four girls, Lena, Bridget, Carmen, and Tibby, and to the magical pair of jeans that fit them all perfectly, and inspired them to live their young lives to the fullest. Forever in Blue, the fourth and final novel in the series, promises a dazzling finale--one "last glorious summer" for the four girls, and their fans.

A Note from Ann Brashares

Dear Amazon Reader,
Well, here we are together again. If you are getting ready to read the fourth book, Forever in Blue, that means we've probably spent some time together. I hope you've enjoyed it. I know I have.
We don't know each other and we may never get to meet, but I feel like we are connected nonetheless. We've spent time with four fictional girls together. We've puzzled over their lives and their choices. We've rooted for them and sometimes felt annoyed by them. We've shared some hopes for them, I think, and in the process for ourselves.
So thank you for being part of the sisterhood with me. I have really appreciated your company along the way.
Happy reading,
Ann

Now, I am not sure if I was just disappointed that the story was coming to a close or that I read through the series too fast. I loved the other books, but this one I think was not as good. Now, that's not to say you shouldn't buy it-if you have read the other books, you MUST complete the sequence, but just know that this one lost a little of the steam the others had.
I sent the whole series to my niece- she loved them all!
This whole series of books is amazing. This book really wraps things up nicely, although it did leave me wanting more. :( It is a page-turner. I couldn't put it down and stayed up all night reading it. The author writes in a way that gets you attached to each character. A must-read!
