Ya-Yas in Bloom (Abridged): A Novel Audiobook

" yup read it. "

" Fun to read. Like revisiting old friends "

" This sequel was better than the original book, I thought. But then, I'm a sucker for Baylor. "

" I enjoyed this book, but it wasn't actually quite as good as the other Ya Ya books I had already read. "

" another Ya-Ya book...they are all great. This one is much more like Little Altars Everywhere than the Divine Secrets of the Ya-Ya Sisterhood. "

" This was lots of fun - I love the audio version because the narrator really brings all these characters to life. If you like the divine secrets, you will enjoy this one as well. "

" This whole series is enjoyable. I think Divine Secrets is definitely the best though. "

" Books like this one make me want to say "y'all" and move to the South and eat Pecan pie. "

" I'm a sucker for this series, but this was my least favorite one. (Favorite probably being "Little Altars Everywhere" followed by "Divine Secrets.") So don't start with this one. "

" I love the ya-yas so much, can't get enough of them. I loved being able to find out more about them. Definitely not as good as the first, but if you want more of the characters, it's perfect. "

" While it was still entertaining, I didn't think this Ya Ya book was as good as the others. It felt like the author was trying too hard to squeeze out a few more stories and they were a bit disjointed and uninspired. "

" I really enjoyed 'Divine Secrets of the Ya Ya Sisterhood', but this sequel wasn't nearly as good to me. It seemed like it could have been part of the original (and it may have worked better for me). "

" Judy Kay is the perfect voice for the Yayas, and I found myself likeing this book even more than I expected too - the children of the Yayas, and their grandchildren, are (no surprise) interesting people! "

" Not as good as the first. "

" I was SOOOoo disappointed in this book. It lacks any of the power of the earlier books. The Characters are mostly all here, but the book just lacks focus. NOT recommended for anyone. If I could give it ZERO stars, I would. "

" If I had to label one of the books as my least favorite, this would probably be it. I loved getting to follow the next generation but the book was a little choppy. It was still a good read and I was sad to be at the end of the series. "

" this is a good read if you liked the first books. it is much more disjointed. but not boring or uninteresting. i liked it well enough for a vacation book... but nothing like the first book... "

" More Ya Yas I love those women! "

" I love the Ya Yas. Not as good as the Divine Secrets, but still worth reading. "

" Funny story about a group of girls who grew up together and their adventures together when they were older. I enjoyed it, something different from my usual pick of books. "

" I love her books. Female friendships are so rare. She has a talent to mix the dark elements of human relationships in with the good. "

" Often a 3rd book in a series is not too good. But Ya Yas in Bloom was a fun, and easy to read collection of stories in the lives of the Ya Yas and their children. Easy to listen to on CD. "

" It was a very easy light read. A little complicated trying to remember the family trees and kept going back to the front page to memories them. Nothing earth shattering. "

" I thought this was going to be as good if not better than Divine Secrets Of The Ya-Ya Sisterhood but I was wrong. Such a let down. I was so eager to start this that I even checked out the next book but I will not even waste my time. What a bummer!!!!! "

" I haven't read the first few books in this series but, non-the-less, I really enjoyed this one. Especially the last story. Made me cry. In a good way. "

" I think I'd give this a 3.5. I have liked all the Ya-Ya books, though I didn't like this one quite as much as the others. I listened to this in the car and the actress who read the book did a very good job. "

" Disappointed in some of the trite storytelling but it did give a bit more background for the much better book "Ya Ya Sisterhood". "

" A great follow up to 'Devine Secrets'. Takes you through the children and grandchildren as well as update the 'original' YA YA sisters. "

" pretty good...kept me interested enough to finish it! "

" Disappointing...not as original as Little Altars Everywhere or Divine Secrets...how long is Rebecca Wells going to ride this gravy train??? "

" I have read this book twice. The second time around I didn't like it as much. I like the story of the family, but not the churchy stuff. It chronicles the the children and how they react and interact with such a crazy family. Worth a read. "

" not nearly as good as the first book "

" I enjoyed this book and found it helpful- it completes the Ya Ya trilogy. I loved learning about all the women in their later years and feeling like the story really "ended." "

" Books like this one make me want to say "y'all" and move to the South and eat Pecan pie. "

" Terrible. But I did like her others. "

" Somewhere between 3 and 4. Parts were good and parts were meh. But I think I mostly enjoyed it. It's been awhile though and I haven't read Little Altars one so I may not be overdone with Wells. And I'm guessing when I read it. No se. 2006? "

" I thought this was going to be as good if not better than Divine Secrets Of The Ya-Ya Sisterhood but I was wrong. Such a let down. I was so eager to start this that I even checked out the next book but I will not even waste my time. What a bummer!!!!! "

" I didn't like this nearly as much as the other two. All the characters seemed to have lost their personalities. They weren't fun, spontaneous, faulty, spunky characters anymore. They were cliche, too perfect and movie-esque. The end of the book felt like a Hallmark commercial. "

" the beginning of this book was really slow-moving, and the major plot twist was almost gleamed over, instead of developed as much as i would have liked to see. not a bad book, all in all, though. "
