Sinossi
Riley e Alice, due sorelle tanto unite quanto profondamente diverse - la prima atletica ed estroversa, la seconda graziosa ed elegante -, da sempre trascorrono le loro estati a Fire Island, un'oasi di libertà in cui camminare a piedi nudi sulla sabbia calda, cullati dal rumore del marea. Un luogo dove tutto sembra possibile. E lì ogni anno ritrovano Paul, un bambino trascurato dalla madre, troppo solo nella sua casa da ricchi. Tra loro esiste un patto: ricordarsi a vicenda ciò che è vero, rifiutandosi di entrare nel mondo adulto, compromesso dalle convenzioni e dai sotterfugi. Ma il tempo passa, Paul ritrova Riley e Alice ormai ventenni, l'amicizia si trasforma in un sentimento più profondo e tutto cambia, stravolgendo le vite dei tre protagonisti e costringendoli a fare i conti con le complessità dell'età adulta.

This might be the hardest review for me to write. I hope someone reads it. :) When people ask me what my favorite book is I always say Pride and Prejudice , and that isn’t really the truth anymore.

I cannot stop raving about this book. To me, this book is a gem that holds a special place in my heart, because it is very perspective, raw with emotions, and just the right book I've been looking for. I am officially in love with the very mature way Ann Brashares explains her story. The plot, to me, Leggi tutto
This is the author's "first adult" book following her string of "Traveling Pants" novels for young adults. It's about three people -- two sisters and their next-door neighbor -- and summers spent living the island life. Riley's the older sister, outdoors-driven to the point where she eshews "normal" Leggi tutto
Eh. Definitely a light and easy read. I found her writing style somewhat annoying. I feel like she was trying too hard to be philosophical or sound intelligent. She's big on using contrasts. Over and over. She would write things like "She didn't know if he needed more or less of her. Maybe neither.
The Last Summer (of You & Me), by Ann Brashares (the author of The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants series) is an adult novel which tells the story of three friends/siblings: Paul, Riley, and Alice. Each is in their early twenties, and like the generation they belong to, they’re still on the cusp Leggi tutto
Quite a disappointment for me, as I've really enjoyed Brasheare's Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants' series. Or at least the two that I've read. I have a high tolerance for frequently trod tropes if a) I really like the characters (for whatever reason) and 2) the writing is engaging and surprising.
