I had high expectations as I began SUMMER SISTERS, but when I finished I was disappointed. While it was a quick, easy read I found the main setting (Martha's Vineyard) more interesting than the characters who seemed shallow and stereotypical to me. I just never bought the friendship between Caitlin and Vix. Author Judy Blume does a good job capturing the awkwardness of adolescence but overdoes it when it comes to their sexual experimentations. Also, for me much of the story was sad, portraying the human condition in a hopeless, not uplifting, way, with a particularly unsatisfying ending.
