Dreams of Significant Girls
Cristina Garcia
Brought together each summer at a boarding school in Switzerland, three girls learn a lot more than just French and European culture. Shirin, an Iranian princess; Ingrid, a German-Canadian eccentric; and Vivien, a Cuban-Jewish New Yorker culinary phenom, are thrown into eachother's lives when they become roommates. This is a story of 3 paths slowly beginning to cross and merge as they spend the year apart, but the summers together. Through navigating the social-cultural shoals of the school, developing their adolescence, and learning the confusing and conflicting legacies of their families' past, Shirin, Ingrid, and Vivien form an unbreakable bond. Like The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants, this story takes readers on a journey into the lives of very different girls and the bonds that keep them friends.

Dreams of Significant Girls by Christina Garcia is about three girls who are nothing alike. Their names are Vivien, Ingrid, and Shirin. They meet one summer at a camp in Switzerland. At first, they do not get along very well. They end up being roommates for two more summers, which causes them to become best friends. They back each other up when they are going through issues or first loves. They form a bond that lasts for years after their last year in Switzerland. The girls' differences pulled them closer together as friends.
