Query: I don't believe in throwing books away, but....

this one went into the trash. I was very disappointed. I read and loved all of Blume's books as a child and so when I was in need of a vacation book, and had no idea what I wanted, I picked up Summer Sisters. I was distracted by the poor quality of the writing, technically speaking, although it did improve as the book went on. More importantly, I found that the story line was weak, and Blume was stretching to entertain her audience rather than augment the story with her excessive, redundant sex scenes.Contrary to another reader's opinion, I was not impressed with Blume's description of the book's settings, or with her development of the characters.To sum it up, I don't recommend this book. Unless you are looking for a mindless and quick read, spend your literary dollars elsewhere.
