As a fan of the series - The Sisterhood of the Travelling Pants, although I was just beyond the usual age group, I was ecstatic to hear another book would be coming to finish the series. What a finish.

As excited as I was to read this book, the timing at which I picked it up was less than ideal. A book that I took along with me on my Nookster as I headed out of town for my grandmother's funeral. As a spoiler to the plot line for this book - one of the girls will die, but I will keep you guessing as to which character we have to say goodbye to. In this book, as many have said the tone is different because they have to deal with the death of a close friend, who is more like a sister. A somber tone to my already somber week, wasn't the greatest decision.

But in the same breath, I appareciated reading it where because as you revisit the girls in a new place in their lives, they are each battling with life decisions and just at the same age as I am now. It was refreshing to meet the girls who I had met awhile ago and see them at the same point in the road that I am at.

I loved this ending to the series. Although with a more mellow note than the rest of the books, the endeavors they shared fit with their childhood shells and as an adult I felt that their journeys were complete.
