"You have a baby!" -Tibby

"The reason I disappeared after you got sick is because i had to go to New York and it couldn't wait. I drove up there and saw Kaya because I needed to tell her that I couldn't be with her anymore." -Eric Richman

__Critic Reviews:__ "It's definitely the pants, pants are so hard to get a good fit in. My high school years were made miserable by the fact that I could never find jeans in tall sizes." - Maria Scinto

"Honestly, I'm not sure why they are popular, though I am earnestly grateful that they are," the writer says from her home in New York City.

'You must never let a boy take off the Pants (although you may take them off yourself in his presence)' is, for me, one of the great lines of sexual empowerment in girls' literature." -Rivkis

__Picture explanation:__ 1. The pair of jeans represent //the Pants,// which play a very big part in the girls lives. Just like everything started two summers ago, the girls passed the jeans to eachother throughout the summer. The girls believe that //the pants// help them with their problems. Only because it seems like everytime one of the girls has the pair of pants on something good happens to them. But this summer the only one going away is Bridget, so they don't actually get to send //the Pants// like they used to.

__Video Explanations:__ 1. The music video "Into Your Arms" by the Maine relates to Carmen and Win. Carmen meets Win at a ice cream shop, and it seems like evertime Carmen is taking someone to the hospital for a check-up Win is there. Win volunteers at the hospital helping the elderly people. They spent a good amount of time together in the car trying to get David back for Christina's delievery. When they got to the hospital Carmen and David rushed into Christina's room while Win left so they could have 'family time'. Carmen went to Win and said " I needed to see you." Also Carmen and Win hug, she is into his arms.

2. The music video "What You Do To Me" by We The Kings relates to Bridget and Eric. Over the summer when Bridget and Eric get partnered up they realize that they wanted to be friends. But Bridget still had the same feelings about Eric that she did two years ago. Eric now had a girlfriend, Kaya, so Bridget didn't try anything. Bridget didn't know but Eric had feelings for her too. He told her that he didn't know what she did to him but everytime that he is with her he feels something special. In this song it talks about only wanting to be with you and thats a like what Eric says to Bridget.

__Memorable Quote Explanations:__ 1. When Annik, Lena's art teacher, says this to Lena it gets her to think about what she needs to do for herself. Annik is telling her that she doesn't always need her parents to figure everything out for her. The reason Annik is telling Lena this is because her parents have refused to pay for Lena to go to RISD Art School. So Annik is telling Lena to find her own way into the art college. Lena calls the college and finds out that she can make up a portfolio of some of her art and send it to them.

2. Tibby is yelling this when Carmen and David are rushing into labor and delivery. This is a very inportant quote to me because Carmen is helping David, her new step dad, to get to his wife and new born baby. Also this quote is part of the reason Christina, Carmen, and David really became a family because of the new baby. This quote also shows how much friends care about each other and their families, just like Tibby helped Christina, Carmen's mom, get through her tough labor.

3.When Eric says this to Bridget everything changes. Throughout the whole book they are friends and Eric even has a girlfriend. But Eric finally admits that he still has feelings for Bridget just like she still has feelings for him. This quote is a very important part of Bridget's summer because her and Eric can finally start a normal relationship. They are starting from the beginning this time because last time they stared at the end and it didn't work out as well as planned.
