Product Description
With unraveled embroidery and fraying hems, the Traveling Pants are back for one last, glorious summer.
Lena: Immerses herself in her painting and an intoxicating summer fling, fearing that the moment she forgets about Kostos will be the moment she sees him again.
Carmen: Falls under the spell of a sophisticated college friend for whom a theatrical role means everything and the heritage of the Pants means nothing.
Bridget: Joins a dig for an ancient city on the coast of Turkey and discovers that her archaeology professor is available in every way except one.
Tibby: Leaves behind someone she loves, wrongly believing he will stay where she has left him.
Join Ann Brashares's beloved sisterhood once again in a dazzling, fearless novel. It's a summer that will forever change the lives of Lena, Carmen, Bee, and Tibby, here and now, past and future, together and apart.
From the Hardcover edition.
Amazon.com Review
Ann Brashares has created a wonderful, heartfelt series for teens (and adults) around a pair of pants. In her breakout bestseller, The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants, Brashares introduced readers to four girls, Lena, Bridget, Carmen, and Tibby, and to the magical pair of jeans that fit them all perfectly, and inspired them to live their young lives to the fullest. Forever in Blue, the fourth and final novel in the series, promises a dazzling finale--one "last glorious summer" for the four girls, and their fans. See a note from author Ann Brashares, below.--Daphne Durham
A Note from Ann Brashares December 1, 2006 Dear Amazon Reader, Well, here we are together again. If you are getting ready to read the fourth book, Forever in Blue, that means we've probably spent some time together. I hope you've enjoyed it. I know I have. We don't know each other and we may never get to meet, but I feel like we are connected nonetheless. We've spent time with four fictional girls together. We've puzzled over their lives and their choices. We've rooted for them and sometimes felt annoyed by them. We've shared some hopes for them, I think, and in the process for ourselves. So thank you for being part of the sisterhood with me. I have really appreciated your company along the way. Happy reading, Ann

 Rating of Book: B November 17, 2008
I had high expectations for this book. I enjoyed the past three books incredibly. So when I picked up "Forever in Blue" I was excited. I was reading when I realized that it wasn't up to par with the past few books. The book seemed like the author was trying to speed up the growth of the girls and it went too fast. First, they're going to college - Carmen goes to Williams, Bridget goes to Brown but is in Turkey for an archeology dig, Lena goes to RISD and meets a cute boy named Leo, and Tibby goes to the New York film school and is unsure about the relationship she and Brian have created.
Carmen has this snotty, unappreciative, decisive friend named Julia who is a total user and tries out for a play but ends up getting an mediocre one instead of the one that she really wanted. Carmen gets the good role and Julia will do anything to get on that show. It's very infuriating when Carmen's notorious attitude is pushed far inside.
Bridget goes to Turkey and sees that she has an attractive colleague working with her and is immediately attracted to her, but unfortunately, he's already taken. It's very similar to when she met Eric, but now she's more controlled and less reckless.
Lena is taking some summer classes and finds this gorgeous boy named Leo who is a great painter. Twists and turns happen in her summer, and I thought she was the most interesting this summer to read.
Tibby takes her relationship with Brian to the next level, only to have it backfire and weeks of worrying. Tibby finally has the courage to break it off but finds that she really does love Brian. She may realize this too late.
All in all, this book was okay. I didn't especially like the sudden turn from fun-loving, careless teenagers to a group of grown ups who desert their heritage. I didn't hear much about the Pants except at the end. This book, though, left me with many questions unanswered. There should have been something where it fowards a decade to show where the girls are at. I hope that Ann Brashares makes something like a new generation of the Sisterhood, with the daughters of the four girls. I recommend the first three books and possibly the fourth.
 Great Book - includes sexual content November 11, 2008
I enjoyed the book completely. However, a bit explicit for my 12 year old daughter! And after she read the first 3 books, I allowed her to read this one, too - but with some discussions about how the girls in the book are in college, a lot older than she is and able to make more mature decisions about their own sexuality than she is now or will be for many years.
Bottom line - a great book and conclusion to the "Traveling Pants" series!
Good series November 3, 2008
I enjoyed all of these books. Don't read this one though unless you read the other 3 first. This wasn't my favorite one, but I was still sad when it was over.
I am sure it will be great September 23, 2008

I love this Pants book as much as the first three and I was sad to read the end of it. Very touching and hearfelt.
