Summary: NOT IMPRESSED
Review: After about a month, I finally managed to finish this book. If you want to read about a bunch of selfish, alcoholic nudist, then this is the book for you. If you want to read something worth reading, try Michael Lee West.

Summary: Aren't we all imperfect?
Review: Are you one star reporters perfect, in denial, or simply boring. Who said you must "like" the characters or find them virtuous? True friendship is real with the YA-YA's because sometimes all of us don't do the right thing, even for those we love, and because those women also did do caring and loving things in their weakness. I think you all have missed the boat on humankind and the grace that good characters and readers give one another. Wells understands two key life concepts: vulnerability and acceptance, do you?

Summary: Can't Put it Down!
Review: This book was one of the best books I've ever read. Reading about the times that Vivi and her fellow ya ya's had, fun and naughty, keeps you interested about their olden time adventures! Though not a book of thrills, it has it's own heart warming thrills within.
Rating:
Summary: thoroughly enjoyable and thought provoking
Review: i loved this book and was sad to end it. the characters are both funny and real. the relationship between Vivi and Siddalee is very complex and much like many mother- daughter ties, especially as adults. the hurts and wants from childhhod spilled into both of their adult lives. i found myself reading a bit and then thinking of the many families i know and the garbage they carry around with them. this isa must read for any adult woman who has leftover feelings from her childhood. and lets faceit, we all do.

Summary: Entertaining story!
Review: After reading the other on-line reviews, I had to write one of my own. Divine Secrets is a wonderfully entertaining book! I don't see how anyone could NOT love it or find it exciting. To be able to take a peek at the lives of the ya-yas, the dynamics of their relationships, and so forth, was worth every minute spent reading the book. Wells has done an incredible job of portraying the rural South and the women who lived it.

Summary: Don't waste your time!
Review: I was very disappointed with this book. I'm thankful for all the readers who expressed a similar opinion, because I was the lone one who despised this book at my book club! I am glad I am not the only one who finds the characters trite, selfish and uninteresting!

Summary: Don't believe the hype!
Review: Considering the amount of reverential press and copycat clubs this book inspired, I was less than impressed. The heroine was pretentious and unsympathetic and the Ya-Ya's were, to put it bluntly, annoying. I do not recommend this book unless you're someone who still swoons over or is somebody still in thrall of your high school's cheerleading squad.

Summary: WONDERFUL!!! ENTERTAINING!!!
Review: I am from the deep South and this is truly a wonderful way to recapture what it was like. Also, what an excellent display of what friendships can mean to a person and what a mother's relationship with her daughter can mean. I highly recommend it for anyone - good relationships or bad!

Summary: Pathetic, absolutely pathetic
Review: I read this book for my book club and I can honestly say it was one of the worst books I have ever read. I could not get past the poor writing enough to lose myself in the story. Did anyone edit this book? The writer should be happy that I do not work in publishing because I would have thrown the manuscript away. Well, to each her own.

Summary: This book was amazing.
Review: I could not put this down once I started reading it. It was a very moving book without being sappy. I really appreciated the split perspective of the book: the woman that she thought her mother was and the reality of who she really was.
