YAYA

The Divine Secrets of the YaYa Sisterhood by Rebecca Wells is my more recent fiction read since I cannot find Deadline lately, but no worries, I will get around to finding and finishing it...eventually.

I've had this one on my stack for quite sometime. I've seen bits and pieces of the movie on TBS, and definitely remember some of the buzz about it that I heard when I was little. Even though I was four or five I think. I remember seeing it everywhere, or at least on my moms night stand. Or at the Castles house.

When I first started it a couple of days ago, it reminded me of the movie exactly. Vivi is upset with Sidda because of the NYT article that portrayed her as a terrible mother. So I was totally expecting all of the YaYas, minus Vivi to show up in Seattle (I think it's New York in the movie) and take Sidda back to Louisiana and explain to her everything.

But alas, that has not happen yet? Perhaps it will. Though so far I can still see bits of the movie weaving in while I read. Mostly its from Vivi's perspective, because in the book, Sidda's in Washington state.

So far, I am really liking it. Which is interesting because my mom says that it's not something that sticks out in her mind as being a GREAT book. She did admit though that she and her friend, Leisel did fashion their Thursdays at the pool with drinks after the YaYa summers at Spring Creek. So I guess she liked it enough for that.
