The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants

I just finished this book and really enjoyed it. I will admit after reading the "Twilight" Series by Stephanie Meyer, it's hard to jump so completely into another book, as you do with that series. However, this was a fun, easy read that I liked. I know there is a movie about this book, but wanted to read the book first so I could get my own sense of things. I was kind of confused as the book jumps from girl to girl, and I had a hard time picturing what Tibby looked like. They are writing letters to each other in the book, and I would have to re-read the next paragraph after each letter a few times b/c it would jump around and I wasn't sure who it was about. BUT I did love each of the girls stories and characters. I want more!! So I went to the library to find the second book, but they are out, so we'll just have to wait! I balled when Bailey died and felt so sad for Lena leaving Kostos. I didn't understand why Bee wouldn't snap out of it after her fling with Eric and I wanted shake Carmens dad and tell him to wake up!! It's fun to see the relationship that these four have and it makes me wish I had 3 girlfriends that lived so close! Why do you think the pants are so magical? And the only rule I would have to disagree with is the washing part. Eeew!
