A big, complex, satisfying sequel." -- Kirkus Reviews , Starred "Equally authentic and engaging." --Publishers Weekly " The Second Summer , while breezy and fun to read, deals seriously with love lost and found, death, and finding the courage to live honestly." --Amazon.com "[A] big-hearted, complex tale of living, learning, and caring." -- School Library Journal "Brashares has done an outstanding job of showing the four teens growing up and giving readers a happy, ultimately hopeful book, easy to read and gentle in its important lessons." -- Booklist "It takes a really good book to leave you laughing one moment and crying the next. This book did just that. It is even better than the first book." -- VOYA "Although these teens deal with issues common to YA novels--identity, romance, parental conflict--Brashares' tale, with its lively characters, honest emotion, and wry wit, rises above the norm." -- Children's Literature, "Light and romantic." -- The New York Times "Fits like a favorite pair of pants." -- USA Today "A great summer read." -- The Sacramento Bee "As comfortable as an old pair of jeans." -- Kirkus Reviews, Starred
