In the summer of 1977, Victoria Leonard’s world changes forever when Caitlin Somers chooses her as a friend. Amazingly carefree Caitlin embraces Vix into her large, colorful family, introducing her to a world of unfathomable luxury and transporting her to magical Martha's Vineyard vacations, where the two friends become "summer sisters."
Years later, Vix is now employed in New York City. On the Vineyard, Caitlin will marry. Furthermore, the early romance of their protracted, intricate relationship has worn off. However, Caitlin wants Vix to be her maid of honor at her wedding. Vix is aware that she will attend since she is curious about what transpired during that devastating summer. She also wants to know why her summer sister, who is also her closest friend, still has the ability to shatter her heart after all these years.
Honors to the Summer Sisters
"Incredibly readable... [Blume's] abilities are immense."—Book Review of The New York Times
"As nostalgic as James Taylor singing 'How Sweet It Is,' and as warm as a summer breeze riffling through your hair." You can recall. Also, Judy Blume does. How delightful that was.—Chicago Tribune
"A deeply poignant tale that possesses the power to evoke both laughter and tears in the reader—sometimes simultaneously. Blume skillfully crafts a vibrant cast of characters."—The Post of Denver
“Blume’s characters still tend to hover after the book is set aside. . . . She captures the protective bond between lifelong female pals well.— The Times of Seattle
