The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants, by Ann Brashares
This book came out when I was a sophomore, maybe a junior in high school. I can remember being at the bookstore with my best friend and us both getting a copy. We totally fell in love with it and read it over and over. As the rest of the series came out, we lived across the country from each other and we would both faithfully go to the bookstore and get our copy and read it then talk about it. We even went and saw the movie together, but… ugh. Don’t want to talk about that.
I loved this book just for its focus on teenage friendship and all the little quirks and emotions that are involved. They are pretty light and fluffy and fun, but they also go into real issues and have real heart. I think this was a pretty great book and series anyway, but I know that that fact that I still tie it to memories of my best friend make it all the more memorable to me.
And besides, what is better than a perfect pair of jeans?
