Tibby feels guilty when a mishap at home has devasting consequences for one of her siblings and threatens her relationship with Brian. Since the death of her grandfather, Lena's father has been pretty strict and now he's not sure his daughter's art talents are a promising future. Now high school graduates Lena, Tibby, Carmen, and Bridget should have it all figured out, but with changes on the horizon they face another summer of the world as they know it being changed. It may be outdated in terms of technology for Gen Z, but I think the plot and friendships are still something they very much could relate to. I absolutely loved this book and I am so glad this series is standing the test of time. She’s spending the summer watching Lena’s grandmother Valia, who is miserable in Maryland after being ripped away from her home on an island in Greece. Carmen is going to be an older sister really soon.
But when an accident happens close to home, she freaks out a bit and doesn’t know how to move forward. Tibby and her friendship with Brian is progressing to something even more. (Also this was the best Lena plot of the three books so far, imo). When her father demands she must leave art school and attend a regular university, Lena needs to prove to him and herself she has what it takes to become an artist. Lena is heartbroken still over Kostos (is this her life story? I am not a stan) and wants to attend art school in the fall. Approaching cautiously, Bee vows to just be friends with Eric as she doesn’t want to fall too deep again. Bridget coaches at a soccer camp where she comes face to face with Eric, the boy she fell in love with two summer ago. All of them face life defining choices and none of them are easy to make.
This summer is the last before the sisterhood begins college. I’m also slightly mad that my mother didn’t make friends with three other pregnant women in an aerobics class in the late 80's so that I could grow up with three best friends. Rereading this series as an adult woman and falling in love with it all over again.
