And indeed, it will change their lives forever-but in ways that none of them could ever have expected.Īfter reading the first few chapters of Sisterhood Everlasting I was perfectly willing to give the book 1 or 2 stars as I felt that author Ann Brashares had completely ruined the characters I've loved since my teens by writing them OOC and dropping THAT major bomb upon us readers so early on in the book.

Lena finds solace in her art, teaching in Rhode Island, but still thinks of Kostos and the road she didn’t take. Carmen is a successful actress in New York, engaged to be married, but misses her friends. And though the jeans they shared are long gone, the sisterhood is everlasting.ĭespite having jobs and men that they love, each knows that something is missing: the closeness that once sustained them.
