I am so tired of this sort of storyline. A group of Southern women who form a timeless bond of woman-ness and Southern-ness and triumph in the face of all hardship because they are delicate as blossoms yet strong and fierce.
That said, when entering a genre so well-covered and sticky sweet, one must do something to make one's work stand out. I believe Rebecca Wells does an above-average job at this, and her book was a fun and easy read. It was hardly ground-breaking, nor did I find it moving, and I didn't shed a tear or laugh out loud. I just wrinkled my nose at the way everyone just wrapped up their lives with a nice bow at the end and no one walked away with residual hurt feelings or misunderstandings, then put the book down and decided to write this review before I promptly forgot it entirely.
If you watched Steel Magnolias or Beaches and thought they were profound, you'll just love this book.

Anica Lest What is there that is better to read than a timeless bond with friends? Doesn't it remind you of your friends?
And if it doesn't, then I know why you didn't like it.

Eva Celeste Since I read this book and wrote this review 16 years ago, I don't remember anything about it. I suspect that, no, it didn't remind me of my friends. Sorry. Hope you enjoyed it.
