The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants by Ann Brashares

I just finished this book this morning after starting it a couple days ago, it's really a quick read. Then again, it is a Young Adult book. This book was published in 2001, the year I graduated from high school, and so I considered my high school years while reading it. It's a good story of friendship, in that the Pants unite 4 girls otherwise completely different in personality.

I like the fact that the Traveling Pants came from a secondhand store; I feel compelled to mention my business blog while discussing this, as I'm currently trying to open my own store - consignment to be exact. I love when people are thrilled with their purchase from such a store!

Back to the book - it was a good, fun read, and I may eventually read the next 3 in the series. I enjoyed the quotes Brashares included on the pages in between chapters, I'll share a couple below.

• "Sometimes you're the windshield: sometimes you're the bug." - Mark Knopfler
• "You will make all kinds of mistakes: but as long as you are generous and true and also fierce you cannot hurt the world or even seriously distress her." - Winston Churchill
