The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants- Ann Brashares

I started reading this book two weeks ago, and it's a book about four friends who were born around the same time and whose mothers were pregnant around the same time. Carmen, a Puerto-Rican-American sophomore girl, Tibby, a rebel, Lena who was Greek,shy,quiet and beautiful and didn't fall for boys that easily and Bridget,the athletic girl who had lost her mom. They were all different yet the same! This summer they were going to be apart for the first time; Bridget(Baja California for Soccer), Lena (Greece to spend summer with grandparents), Carmen (visiting her father for the first time in South Carolina) and Tibby was staying home. Each of them find new ways to have fun without each other; they all have different experiences , for some the summer is the worst and for some it's irrestible and never-ending ! Before departing,though, Carmen finds a pair of pants that fits them all and now that same pair of pants is passed around to the four of them with something memorable written on it from all of them to be reminded of the summer they had.
It was a great book with a lot of interesting things happening simultaneously with different characters which kept it exciting and progressing. I think the four characters and the way this book was organized reminded me of The Joy Luck Club and how it was written, and they were all friends with all of them having their own stories. This book was some pages around 350 and it took me two weeks to finish it. I'm really anxious to watch the movie now to see how the director portrayed the characters and the plot and if his/her interpretation was the same as mine. Usually I write the pre-analysis of the book I'm about to read but this time I tried doing things a little differently, with the information of the book after I have read it.
