Sisterhood everlasting by Ann Brashares 349 pages
Readers who grew up with the Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants series will welcome revisiting the characters. Although they grew up best friends, they have gone their separate ways until Tibby sends them an invitation to come to Greece. They arrive, but their reunion is anything but joyous. Tibby's body is found, she died just before they arrived under mysterious circumstances. Although they are approaching 30, none has settled down. Lena, gets reacquainted with the impossibly romantic, and now incredibly successful Kostos. Carmen is a "real" actress with a reoccurring role in a TV series and seems to be on the brink of stardom. She is kind of engaged, but her fiance is happy to postpone the wedding if it means that she may advance their careers. While Bridget is still with her long-time boyfriend, Eric, she has a restlessness that prevents her from contentment. Angst and bittersweet, this is true to the series.
