Rachel L's Reviews > Forever in Blue: The Fourth Summer of the Sisterhood

4 stars

I enjoyed this fourth book but it seemed to lack the same emotional punch as the first three books. Considering it was “last” when it was written, reading it felt like closure on the series. I haven’t read the next book, so I’m curious as to how everything is in that one.

-Bee is spending the summer on an archaeological dig in Turkey. Sad that Eric seemed to make summer plans without keeping her in his thoughts, she ponders how she feels about him in her life. Bee also spends time at home, wondering how her family fell apart since the death of her mother and how she can put it back together again.

-Carmen is spending the summer at theatre camp. The last year of school she felt like she really lost herself and when she auditions by accident for a play, she discovers a talent she didn’t realize she had. Carmen also learns a lot about friendship and what kind of people you want to keep around in her life.

-Tibby is spending the summer in NYC with her boyfriend Brian stopping by whenever he is able. When something happens between them, Tibby is left shaken to her core and must decide what she wants in the future.

-Lena is attending art school and strikes up a friendship with another artist, who may help her forget Kostos (finally).

I thought this was an excellent addition to the series, it makes sense that a series with four main characters would have four (technically 5) books in it. My favorite parts were reading about Lena with Leo and about Bee and her family. I’m so glad I decided to revisit and reread this series, it was a gift for me.
