So...this book was very strange to me. It was like a modern Southern Gothic- happy stories and then weird and details that I didn't think would be included. I don't really know what the point of the book was and I wouldn't really recommend it.

I'm interested in the Ya-Ya Sisterhood book now because its by the same author - I want to know why there's such a hype.

The Ya Yas can be funny, but overall, these books break my heart.
