What We Think

“The Second Summer of the Sisterhood” is far tamer on the “woke” meter than most modern YA. While relationships and girl power are foregrounded, it mostly avoids forced ideology, making it a pretty safe pick for those averse to modern activist storytelling.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Mildly Woke

What is this?

While the novel features a diverse cast of female characters, it still focuses on personality and interpersonal growth over shallow identity politics. There’s little evidence of forced representation or the storyline being bent out of shape for ideology. The problems explored are genuine and character-driven, not thinly-veiled messaging.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Mildly Woke

What is this?

The narrative does explore modern feminine independence and grapples with family, but it isn’t out to tear down tradition or mock traditional roles. Themes of friendship, family, and self-discovery are approached fairly neutrally, without overt shots at religion or morality.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Mildly Woke

What is this?

Alternative worldviews (outside the central friend group) aren’t deeply explored, but the book stops short of actively mocking or villainizing other perspectives. There’s an obvious focus on the girls’ shared journey, but the text doesn’t lock out all non-modern ideas or paint traditionalism as inherently evil.
