I really liked all of the stories but the one that touched my heart the most and made me feel emotion at one certain point was Tibby's story. Even though all the other girls, especially Lena and Bridget's stories were far more entertaining and controversial, I think Tibby's story and plot touched my heart and soul the most! It made me feel like I had read something that was supposed to hurt someone else's feelings. When Bailey slowly dies in the hospital, and when Tibby comes to see her secretly from the nurses and is by her side to show her that she's not alone was really sensitive and caring of her which I was not expecting from a rebellious girl like Tibby since she was sort of not interested in becoming friends with twelve year old girlS! but I'm glad Tibby and Bailey hit it off pretty well and they were great friends. I was actually crying by the time Tibby gets a phone call from the hospital and the funeral in the rainy afternoon in the graveyard. I was shivering with sorrow and an utter feel of mourning even though the author had said so little describing her death but the funeral description really nailed it for me. I think Ann Brashares is a great author with intellects and a sense of how to grab the reader's attention and drive their emotions in whichever direction she wants. That really impressed me about this book and how it's written; unlike The Joy Luck Club where the author goes from the past to the present and then from the present to the past, confusing the reader and focusing their attention on unwanted information rather than the real meaning or the idea of what they actually wanted to convey which Ann Brashares completely overrules and defines the real meaning of friendship and how people live together and face problems in their life but still manage to get over them and move on.
