“Girls In Pants” by Ann Brashares. Between their high school graduation and their upcoming journeys to college, the sisterhood has one last summer together, one last summer with the Pants. They girls meet at Gilda's, the aerobics studio where their moms first met, to initiate the familiar ritual of bringing the Pants out of their winter hibernation. This night is about the Pants and the summer that lies ahead, not the time when they will say good-bye to each other. This summer they will rely on each other and the magic of the Pants to give them courage and inspiration.
