3 Willows: The Sisterhood Grows (Sisterhood, #4.5) by Ann Brashares

3.0

Similar to her Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants series, Brashares weaves the story of three lifelong friends as they spend their summer vacations separated (in more ways than one).

Jo, Ama, and Polly planted willow saplings early in their friendship and see them as a symbol of their lives. As they've grown older their friendship has started to strain and they've started to grow apart. The summer after their eighth grade year the three girls are all headed in different directions - Jo to the beach, Ama to an academic camp, and Polly plans to spend the summer babysitting. Again, similarly to Sisterhood, the girls all learn valuable lessons as the summer progresses.

Side note: it's also fun to see secondary characters from the Sisterhood series make appearances.
