Summer Sisters / Judy Blume / 400 pages / USA Today Bestseller

This Judy Blume book was a complete surprise to me!  It is catalogued as adult fiction and rightfully so.  I would hate for a younger fan of Judy Blume to ever get their hands on this.  It is the story of two summer sisters, Victoria and Caitlin.  They seem to be opposites.  Vix is shy, working class, and a bit plain,  Caitlin is wild, rich, and beautiful.  The friendship begins when Caitlin invites Vix to join her family on Martha's Vineyard for the summer.  The two discover boys, sex, and secrets over the next six summers.  The two friends grow apart as friends sometimes do and are brought back together as Caitlin marries...

  1. I remember reading this years ago. Yeah, I thought the same thing, its way to racy for younger YA readers.
