It does seem as though some writers are stuck with their characters and in this case, it is just the younger generation we read about. I loved the first Ya-Ya tale, enjoyed the second, but was bored to pieces on this latest. Having roots in Louisiana and knowing how southern girls hang together, I could relate to the first two books, but this one was a terrific disappointment and waste of time. Luckily it was very short and a quick read. Please Ms. Wells do better if you try for a fourth Ya Ya book. One of these days, I will write a rave review.
