Last year, I noticed that my collection of unread Buffyverse books was dwindling down.  I found a used copy of a hardcover crossover between Buffy and Angel that I had missed, Heat,  on Amazon, so I decided to go ahead and pick it up to restock the unread book drawer.  Sadly, when the book arrived, it was the dust jacket for the advertised book, but inside was a copy of Girls in Pants: The Third Summer of the Sisterhood.  After requesting a refund from Amazon, they let me go ahead and keep the book, which sat on my dresser for more than a year until I recently decided to pick it up and try something different.  And something different it was.

My only other experiences with the Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants saga was watching the two films.  Because of this, I had some familiarity with the characters, which made getting through this a little easier.  It wasn’t a bad read, but certainly not in my usual genre.  Short of another used book mishap, I don’t envision myself going back and reading the previous entries in the series.
