"As I read this series I know I would have enjoyed this a lot more when I identified with all the teenage angst instead of with the mothers. I also would like to just enjoy the book instead of constantly asking myself when I will give these books to my daughter. Considering the relationship between Kostos and Lena and the few sex scenes she will probably discover the series herself first. The characters are widely diverse so pretty much any kid could see themselve in one of them. At its best it is a little brain candy for the teenage set, with a reasonable amount of teenage drama."

" Another amazing sequel to the Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants 1! "
— Teacool97, 2/16/2014" Lena's heart is broken, Bee's changed but finds letters from her grandmother ranging from 6 years ago! Tibby discovers more about herself and friends and carmen's dealing with her mother. So much going on. It's a good book but it's those kinds of books that just, you want to change the character back to the way they were. We'll have to see for the third book, Girls In Pants!! "
— Marisa, 2/2/2014" I started the Pants series because my 11 year old daughter asked if she could read it. She whizzed through the first three books on her summer break and I trailed behind. I appreciate many aspect of Brashares writing. She manages to include painful and real topics but she treats them with care and respect. It is a delightful series about true friendship. "
— Sandi, 1/24/2014" Great romance, terrific dialogue, and awesome friendships. "
— Noa, 1/15/2014" I was reading this, but i got really bored and didn't care about the plot "
— Allie, 1/7/2014" This was my favorite of the traveling pants series. I think the characters matured and were more developed. I really liked each story even more than I did in the first one - it was fun to see where they went/what happened to them. "
— Nancy, 1/5/2014" These are easy dock reads. "
— Jayne, 12/3/2013" this is my favourite one!!! "
— Madeleineg, 11/22/2013" just amazing can't wait to read the next one "
— Jessica, 11/15/2013" Not nearly as good as the first, I could barely get past the beginning. But as the story progressed, it got better. "
— Holly, 11/14/2013" such a great series. so much love and friendship, the characters gather your heart amongst their own. "
— Abbey, 11/6/2013" Not as great as the first, I kind of struggled to finish it, but I guess after a while it does grow on you. "
— Diana, 10/28/2013" Liked this one too! "
— Sue, 10/24/2013" Awwwwww, an all around good read about friendship and love. Looking forward to reading the next one. "

— Sarah, 8/9/2012" Great 2nd installment in the series. "
— Sian, 7/25/2012" The second in the series, and probably my least favorite out of all of them, but still good. "
— Fiona, 7/2/2012" I like the pants. I want the pants. I could use a little magic. "
— Wendy, 6/5/2012" One of my favorite series of all times. Even to this day I still re-read these books. "
— Christine, 12/20/2011" I love this book so much. Such a great book about friendship. This book is about a group of 4 best friends, Carmen, Tibby, Lena, & Bridget and how a pair of unique blue jeans bring the friends together as their lives start to part. "
— Leslie, 11/17/2011" Enjoyable, and a page turner, but a little too racey "
— Emilywagner4, 10/7/2011" I really thought this was rather cute. Feel so sad for Lena but loved seeing the growth in Carman and Bee. <br/> "
— Jaime, 6/25/2011" I guess I was bored and read the second one as well. I had the other ones checked out but won't be reading them. "
— Christie, 6/20/2011" Loved it just as much as the first one! "
— Julie, 6/16/2011" Likes: <br/>* Carmen learning to think about her mom <br/> <br/>Dislikes: <br/>* too much teen desire "
— Marla, 6/10/2011" Way better than the movie...but would of like Lena and Kostos to be together like in the movie!! "
— Nadine, 6/6/2011" I also loved this one, though not as much as the first one. I'm waiting to see the movie until I finish the rest of the series because I've heard that it is a combination of the last three. "
— Katie, 6/5/2011" The second summer is very mind catching.The girls have very different places to go to and the pants make them feel closer.And Bridget meets Eric again in her second summer at camp. "
— Adrina, 5/27/2011" More like 3½ stars. This book was slightly darker and more grim than the earlier one, but it sort of gave it an edge. It certainly made me want to read the next one as well. I was, though, a little sad that the pants sort of fell into the background. But oh well, they were still there! "
— Maja, 5/23/2011" This book made me cry and smile. Even though I do have a favourite of the four girls, I still felt for everyone. "
— Kim, 5/19/2011" I liked this book even more than the first one it was great "
