The girls are not perfect: they are likeable, but flawed in a way that is almost tangible. The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants tackles multiple subjects and explores various important themes, such as sexuality, coming-of-age, love, life, family and, of course, friendship. It comforts them and helps them in dire situations. The girls thought the pants would connect them in a spiritual way, while being apart from one another, but it’s more than that: they draw their strength from it. Later in the story, the pants start to represent something more.
The pants are first known to be incredible because it fits all four girls, who are also different in size and shape as well as in personality. Despite all that sets them apart from one another, they share the strongest of friendships. Lena, Carmen, Bridget and Tibby are four teenagers with distinct personalities, wants and needs.
They symbolize strength, love and courage.
The pants, obviously, have a lot to do with my enjoying the story. So what makes The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants so special? It is true that I adore stories in which friendship plays a humongous part, but I have read hundreds of them in the past. This book should not have moved me as much as it did.
