Ya-Yas in Bloom

A Novel

De: Rebecca Wells

Narrado por: Judith Ivey

An emotionally charged addition to Rebecca Wells' award-winning bestseller Little Altars Everywhere and #1 New York Times bestseller Divine Secrets of the Ya-Ya Sisterhood, Ya-Yas in Bloom reveals the roots of the Ya-Yas' friendship in the 1930s and roars through sixty years of marriage, children, and hair-raising family secrets.

When four-year-old Teensy Whitman prisses one time too many and stuffs a big old pecan up her nose, she sets off the chain of events that lead Vivi, Teensy, Caro, and Necie to become true sister-friends. Ya-Yas in Bloom shows us the Ya-Yas in love and at war with convention. Through crises of faith and hilarious lapses of parenting skills, brushes with alcoholism and glimpses of the dark reality of racial bigotry, the Ya-Ya values of unconditional loyalty, high style, and Cajun sass shine through at a time when the dynamic web of sisterhood is the only safety net strong enough to hold families together and endure.

Great series

Too bad they didn't capture the whole series into a two or three part movie. Narration sucked you into the story.

Didn’t want it to end.

Part two was amazing. I enjoyed it so much. I didn’t want book 2 to end. What an amazing book and story.

Delightful family story

I absolutely loved this book and Judith Ivey narrates so beautifully. You get pulled into this family and can't help but laugh and cry along with them.

Very charming and entertaining

I liked hearing this continuation of the story from some of the other characters perspective. The story wasn't as good as the original but still entertaining

truth

it was real
I loved it I lived It was my town I knew them all

I RECOMMEND THIS HIGHLY ENTERTAINING NOVEL!

Ya Ya Boom was delightful from beginning to the very last page! I laughed and laughed as the family of friends revealed their true to life insights. Very, very funny and entertaining. Having grown up and lived around Louisiana, I could envision these conversations taking place. Narration was near-perfect! Don’t miss this book!

Good but not great

I’ve now read the entire series of YAYA and this book was probably the most disappointing I understand the premise of the book but it lacked direction. I did like that we got to know Baylor more who I think is the most likable of the walker children but that’s all I liked.

I didn’t want it to end!!

This series made me feel so many emotions and by the final chapter of this book, I was a blubbering mess. The narrator adds so much to the story and I love that she does different voices. This series has got so much heart, and I feel like an honorary Ya-Ya. We all have a star inside us ❤️
