divine secrets of the ya ya sisterhood book

It was something of an impulse buy, but one I have never regretted as Divine Secrets is now my favorite book. I picked it up and flipped it over, finding no real summary on the back save for glowing reviews.

This particular novel caught my interest because of its cover’s color I am a sucker for anything blue. I had money in my pocket and was happy as a pig in mud going up and down the countless rows of books, looking for titles that caught my interest. I was at one of those buy-books-for-dirt-cheap places in Dallas with my cousin and aunt. I first came across this book when I was fifteen years old. When Vivi and the other “Ya-Yas” find out about this, they decide to send Sidda the “Divine Secrets of the Ya-Ya Sisterhood” scrapbook to help Sidda understand their lives, and more importantly, her mother’s life, better.” Between that and Sidda’s now fear to love, she runs off to her friend’s family cabin at Lake Quinault.

Sidda postpones the wedding between her and Conner. Not only is Sidda having trouble with her mother, but she is also having trouble with her fiancé, Conner. Siddalee “Sidda” Walker, a play director, has never had a smooth relationship with her mother, Vivi, but when a New York Times reporter twists Siddalee’s words around in an article about her recent play, Siddalee and Vivi’s mother-daughter relationship goes spiraling down.

The Ya-Yas caused shenanigans and chaos everywhere, but also had a sisterly bond that could fix anything. The summary of the novel reads as followed: “ When Vivi, Teensy, Necie, and Caro were younger, they created the Ya-Ya Sisterhood. The Book– Divine Secrets of the Ya-Ya Sisterhood was written by Rebecca Wells in 1996. In these articles, I will discuss what I loved about these books and how their film counterparts measured up.

Baring that in mind, I chose a selection of books I own that have film adaptations. Who will play my favorite character? Which of my favorite moments will end up on the cutting room floor or worse, not even make it into the screenplay? As book readers, we simply want the magic that we found within the pages of the story to be translated properly to the big screen. As an avid book reader, I’m sure many people share the feeling I get when I hear news that one of my favorite books being adapted into a film: a potent cocktail of anticipation and dread.
