Wow! It was just perfect! The ending was extremely hard for me as a hoarder, but I know it was necessary. One of the many things that I love about this book is that even when you want to punch the characters in the face for there stupidity, you feel like some stupidity is necessary to keep it real.

So at first I didn't really feel the story, but as the plot progressed, I remembered just how much I love these four girls

** spoiler alert **
           I'm not sure why I wanted to reread the Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants. These books were such a critical part of my growing up because I saw so much of myself in Tibby, Bee and Carmen (ok and I GUESS Lena too). 

In retrospect as an almost 30 year-old woman reading these I think there are some things that are problematic across the series. Especially in regards to how sex impacts the story almost universally negative.

Bee has sex with Eric, has an emotional breakdown because she wasn't ready
Tibby has sex with Brian, has a pregnancy scare
Kostas has sex with Maryanne, she fakes a pregnancy
Lena has sex with Leo and realizes she doesn't love him
Tibby has sex with Brian, finds out she gets sick.

I don't know if this was intentional or not but I think that it's something to talk critically about with our daughters.
