Ann Brashares writes contemporary fiction about friendship, adolescence and the way relationships change when people live apart. The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants follows Carmen, Tibby, Lena and Bridget, four teenage friends who spend their first summer in different places but share a pair of jeans that unexpectedly fits each of them. The sequels follow the group through later summers, college and adulthood, keeping friendship rather than any single romance at the centre of the series. Brashares has also written adult and speculative fiction, including My Name Is Memory, about two people whose connection repeats across different lives. Her writing is accessible and character-led, with alternating viewpoints showing how the same friendship changes for each person. Her books fit contemporary YA, friendship fiction and coming-of-age stories alongside writers such as Sarah Dessen and Rebecca Serle. Read more Less
