Summary: Not for me
Review: I can see how some people would find this a good book. Unfortunately, I have not been lucky enough to find any solid frienships similar to the ones told about in this book. It almost made me depressed to read it.

Rating:
Summary: Awesome book.
Review: I may only be thirteen but this book was awesome and I am surely hoping that at least some of my friendships will last like that. My aunts want to borrow my copy and as I waited for my copy of Little Alters I reread parts that intrigued me in YA-Ya. Like...swimming in the water tower. HEHEHE!!

Summary: One of the BEST books that I have read
Review: Once I picked up my copy of the Divine Secrets, I could not put it down for a minute! You will be taken in by every character present in this story and you will feel as if you know all four "YA-YA's" and all of the "Petites Ya-Ya's!" I cannot reccommend this book enough! I purchsed it 3 weeks ago, finished it in three days, lent it out, and have not seen it since...it's being passed on and on! I can't wait to get my hands on Little Altars. Divine Secrets is a GREAT read.

Summary: Buy a Hallmark
Review: Too sappy for me- I finished it but the ending summed it up "not real life."

Rating:
Summary: an extremely enjoyable look at the lives of 4 women.
Review: This book is very humorous, very touching, as you follow the lives of these women from childhood to adulthood. It will make you laugh out to read about their excapades.

Rating:
Summary: A nice light read
Review: I thought this was a nice light read. I don't think it was was a five star book, though. It had a wonderful message about the relationship between mothers and daughters, but I thought the ending was a little cheesy. I really like Southern authors, so this book was chock full of Southernisms. I just finished reading a wonderful story entitled "The Stone's Ripple Mission" by a lesser known Southern author, and I found it to be a much better story about Southern relationships.

Summary: The best book I have EVER read!!!!!
Review: This book changed my entire life! Vivi and the Ya-Ya's are so awe inspiring, and lovable, I just want to transport them out of the book and into my heart and my life.Sidda and Vivi are an excellent example of the rocky relationships mothers and daughters have. I feel like these women are real, and they influence everything I do.Exactement!!

Rating:
Summary: Funny & Sad & Wacky
Review: It was hard to begin this book but once I got into it I couldn't put it down! I loved the writing style - the descriptions really helped things come alive. The women are a tad on the unbelievable side but then again I'm from the northeast. Just fun, wacky, and very touching.

Summary: Sorry sis...
Review: ...but your paperback copy of Ya-Ya will not make it back to you in one piece. It is somewhere in my office building being read by the 14th(as we speak)person who has borrowed it from me. This book makes me yearn for the kind of friendship these women have had. As I read I waited for some contrived, maudlin situation to pop up that would turn this book into yet another sappy romance. It never happened. What a refreshing change! My one criticism is that Ms. Wells made all her characters well off financially, so the struggle to make ends meet was never an issue with these women. I want to read the pre-quel, but someone told me that the same characters in that book are not nearly as likeable. I think I will read it anyway.
