"I was surprised at how much I enjoyed this series. I think I read all four in a week! I hunted down the final books at various libraries. I became very attached to seeing how the characters would end up. This last summer the girls were grown up (college age) and there was more mature content. "

— CJ , 9/10/2018" Wow...beautifully written! It will make you laugh, make you cry, make you want to yell and scream at the world, but more importantly, this book will make you think about your life and appreciate it all the more. Great job Ann Brashares! "
— Dionne, 2/1/2014" An excellent, if heartbreaking, conclusion to a series that has followed a generation of readers. I've always loved Lena, but I saw a lot of myself in her in this installment... Too bad I don't have my own Kostos! "
— Dominica, 2/1/2014" Excellent story that really brings these characters back to life, but opens up just a few more questions right before the ending. "

— Jess, 1/11/2014" I cried my eyes out. I hated it at first, but I slowly fell in love with the characters I dearly missed. "
— Karradyne, 1/5/2014" In eerste instantie (na een paar hoofdstukken) wist ik niet of ik het een leuk boek zou vinden. Nu wel, het is prachtig. Een waardig vervolg. "
— Jeske, 12/21/2013" The four friends are all grown up! A little depressing and pretty predictable, but I did like the characters and it was an easy read. "
— Lindsay, 12/8/2013" it was good. it was really sad when tibby lost her life, but a lot of parts made me happy. Like when Lena got with Kostas, or when Bee found out she was pregan, or when we first met bailey. :) "
