Where do I start, my thoughts are never as provoking as Kelli's...she is just better at putting her thoughts to words. Maybe she should write a book herself.
Back to the story. Caitlin and Vix went to the same school and Caitlin chose Vix to spend the summer with her at her dad's (Lamb) house. They were not really close friends, but Vix jumped at the chance to get away for a few months from her disfunctional life. Her family was poor and she had 3 siblings, one of which had muscualar dystrophy and is confined to a wheelchair. Vix called Lamb's house the psycho house. It was vermy mismatched and not very clean.
Caitlin was more open and surprising then Vix had originally thought. They had met some older guys, Von and Bru, whom they crushed over. The first part of the book really deals with Caitlin and Vix becoming best friends and sharing all sorts for firsts with. Along with Caitlin dealing with her father remarrying and a new stepbrother and his friend. Caitlin and Vix were also dealing with growing up and being interested in sex and becoming women.
Part One ends Abby, Catilins step-mother, convincing Vix's mom to allow her to got the private high school with Caitlin on scholorship and with Lamb and Abby fighting causing all the kids to fight.
The book is getting more interesting and I am looking forward to Part Two - Rapture.
Happy Reading...

OUR SECOND BOOK!!!
SUMMER SISTERS
BY JUDY BLUME
ABOUT THIS BOOK
In the summer of 1977, Victoria Leonard's world changed forever—when Caitlin Somers chose her as a friend. Dazzling, reckless Caitlin welcomed Vix into the heart of her sprawling, eccentric family, opening doors to a world of unimaginable privilege, sweeping her away to vacations on Martha's Vineyard, a magical, wind-blown island where two friends became summer sisters. . . .Now, years later, Vix is working in New York City. Caitlin is getting married on the Vineyard. And the early magic of their long, complicated friendship has faded. But Caitlin has begged Vix to come to her wedding, to be her maid of honor. And Vix knows that she will go—for the friend whose casual betrayals she remembers all too well. Because Vix wants to understand what happened during that last shattering summer. And, after all these years, she needs to know why her best friend—her summer sister—still has the power to break her heart....
