... turn out. As in real life, there are times of humour and happiness, times of sadness and tears. Sometimes fiction can be lazy and an author will conveniently tie up all the loose ends in the last couple of chapters, so the hero marries the heroine and they all live happily ever after. As we all know, this isn’t always the truth and Judy Blume is content to write about life in a realistic way we can all recognise. CHARACTERS The novel concentrates on the relationship between Victoria and Caitlin, who seem ...more

Summer Sisters - Judy Blume: Discover The Power ... Of Judy Blume! (966 words)

INTRODUCTION I loved reading Judy Blume’s books as a child. They were a bit risqué, exciting, real. They were about kids you could relate to, kids growing up, kids with issues and problems many of us shared. Her books were a part of my childhood. A few years ago, Judy Blume started publishing books for adults, but somehow, I never got round to buying or reading them. Then my friend Hannah recommended the novel Summer Sisters, not just as a casual “You’d like this…” but in a way which radiated her own infectious love and enthusiasm for the book. So I read it, finishing it around 1am this morning. I am very glad I ... Read the complete review

Back in 1999 I was at a UMIST open day. Half way through we decided to skip the rest of the talks and tours and go shopping, and it was during a quick browse in the Arndale Centre’s WH Smiths that I came across this book. At this point in my life I usually bought books online as it was cheaper (and I still do as it still is) but I needed something to read on the train back to Blackpool so I bought this on a whim having enjoyed all of Blume’s other books. Summer Sister’s is somewhere between Wifey and Forever in terms of target audience, but it is a book which can be enjoyed by many. Caitlin and Vix are as different as night and day – ...

I have long been a fan of Judy Blume. I read many of her books whilst I was a teenager - including the infamous 'Forever'. However, Summer Sisters is certainly a 'coming of age' book from Judy. It's a fantastic book for young adults. The story follows the lives of Vix and Caitlin who meet at school and become inseperable. Caitlin comes from a fairly well off family and Vix spends every summer with her at her parent's beach house in Martha's Vineyard...hence, they become 'Summer Sisters'. The story spans many years, and follows their transition from young girls through to women. You learn of their slightly ... Read the complete review
