The Second Summer of the Sisterhood

Are teenage girls really capable of the
self-examination the main characters in
this book display? All four girls are
able to work out problems using very
sophisticated techniques that I'd assumed
most people would know only after years
and years of work in therapy. I truly
hope there are such enlightened sixteen
year old girls out there and that they
meet up with my rather unenlightened
but devilishly handsome teenage sons.
A gentle book, better than the original, imo.
