Enjoyable summer reading This is the story of Caitlin&Vix (Victoria), two young girls that met in Elementary school. Their friendship begins in 1977 when Caitlin invites Vix to spend the summer at her cottage by the ocean on Vineyard beach. Judy Blume takes us on their journey through teenage years right into adulthood. Friendships ; how often they can become bittersweet...to what length is Caitlin willing to go to find happiness ? Could she even betray her best friend ? Why can't she find contentment in her life? Why is it that even as adult we sometimes look for answers outside ourselves?
It's all about choices and how they affect our lives and the choices these two girls make are very different yet through thick and thin their frienship remains. This book is about sisterly love and the real bound that exist when you have a true friend. This was a great summer read for my vacation.
A beautiful coming-of-age story...it's so real This is my new favorite book..it's beautifully nostalgic, and although I'm only sixteen myself it made me feel nostalgic about my own life, friendships, relationships, family..Judy Blume portrays the beauty of female friendship, and unconditional love, in this completely unpretentious and very real way. I loved the detailed descriptions of summers in the vineyard, watching the characters grow with each other. Of course you have to be mature enough to handle the descriptive sexual content, but it is written sensitively and realistically. I particularly enjoyed the excerpts where the story was told through the point of view of different characters, which added depth and perspective on the intertwining lives of all the people surrounding Vix and Caitlin. This book is indescribable, but you will be left with a feeling of completeness (and a bit of sadness, but the good kind) when you finish.Good chick book Normally I go for Clancy, Vince Flynn and Nelson DeMille but this is a good, light summer read. Guys shouldn't bother - this is definitely a chick book - but the ladies will enjoy it. I got annoyed by the ending - it was pretty abrupt and you never find out what happened to Caitlin. However, the Somers' were a good portrayal of a rich, eccentric family and Vix's family was dead-on realistic. And sometimes extraordinary girls like Vix do fall for shallow boys like Bru.
