The day before their first summer apart, they find a pair of pants that Carmen was planning on throwing away. The Pants fit all of them perfectly, even with all of their different body types. They decide to send the Pants back and forth between them, so they have their friends with them during their travels.
The first three books are the summers of high school. Lena goes to the Rhode Island School of Design, Tibby goes to NYU for film school, Bridget is at Brown (I think), and Carmen goes somewhere.
The fourth book is the summer after their first year in college. I have to say that Carmen has the hardest time of the four, as she really lost her way during freshman year at college. But by the end of the summer, a fragile conclusion is reached.
The last book is set ten years later. The Sisterhood has fallen out of touch, with Bridget living in California, Carmen busy being an actress, Lena a poor artist, and Tibby in Australia.
They plan to go to a Greek island where Lena is from to spend time together, but when they get there, they receive some unfortunate news.
They are lost.
By the end of the book, a real conclusion is reached. Bittersweet, but real.
These books are so sad, especially the last three. But the first two have their heart wrenching moments. I love these books so much. Definitely read them.
