Others: MixedBefore. Miles “Pudge” Halter is done with his safe life at home. His whole life has been one big non-event, and his obsession with famous last words has only made him crave “the Great Perhaps” even more (Francois Rabelais, poet). He heads off to the sometimes crazy and anything-but-boring world of Culver Creek Boarding School, and his life becomes the opposite of safe. Because down the hall is Alaska Young. The gorgeous, clever, funny, sexy, self-destructive, screwed up, and utterly fascinating Alaska Young. She is an event unto herself. She pulls Pudge into her world, launches him into the Great Perhaps, and steals his heart. Then. . . . After. Nothing is ever the same.

Others: Overwhelmingly positiveFOUR VERY DIFFERENT FRIENDS. ONE PAIR OF MAGICAL PANTS. AND A SUMMER APART ... We, the Sisterhood, hereby instate the following rules to govern the use of the Traveling Pants: 1. You must never wash the Pants. 2. You must never double-cuff the Pants. It's tacky. There will never be a time when this will not be tacky. 3. You must never say the word "phat" while wearing the Pants. You must also never think "I am fat" while wearing the Pants. 4. You must never let a boy take off the Pants (although you may take them off yourself in his presence). 5. You must not pick your nose while wearing the Pants. You may, however, scratch casually at your nostril while really kind of picking. 6. Upon our reunion, you must follow the proper procedures for documenting your time in the Pants. 7. You must write to your Sisters throughout the summer, no matter how much fun you are having without them. 8. You must pass the Pants along to your Sister according to the specifications set down by the Sisterhood. Failures to comply will result in a sever spanking upon our reunion. 9. You must not wear the Pants with a tucked-in shirt and belt. See rule #2. 10. Remember: Pants = love. Love your pals. Love yourself

Loved itthis book never in my life ever read a book this short that has just blown my mind you want to go into this not knowing anything so I'm not going to tell you anything for that reason but please pick it up and read it
Loved itSuch beautiful writing. I got to meet E.Lockhart. So that was definitely also a highlightout of all the books I read this year.
Loved itit is addictive and the twist will just blow you away and it's one of these books that will grip you and keep you on the edge of your seat until you finish it
Mixedthere are a lot of people who don't like this book but I really loved it I The Twist at the end just blew me away I kind of was spoiled for it but I still literally balled my eyes out it's kind of boring through the middle but if you get past that then you realize like it just makes it all worth it in the end
Loved itit was just amazing I won't talk too much about it but I suspect it's going to be a book club pick for the word nerds in 2015 it's a quick read it's yeah I really can't tell you anything else about it just read that book read it now
