Ya-Yas in Bloom (10)

Title: Ya-Yas in Bloom
Author: Rebecca Wells
Genre: Fiction

Ever have a birthday cake from your local grocery store? Not the high end grocery store with a really nice bakery but the regular bread, milk and eggs grocery store that's not so shiny and clean. The cake's not very good, later you'll regret eating the big piece you just cut for yourself but the first huge bite of icing (cause you've plucked one of the icing flowers off the corner) is divine. It's soft and sweet and hits that gooey spot inside that makes you happy. This book is very much like that grocery store birthday cake. It's not very good, I almost regret the hours I've spent reading it but for a few pages here and there it was like the icing flower from the corner of the cake. It hit just the right spot and was delicious. Those sections of the book were quite few and far between and they were probably specific to sentimental girls like me so I definitely couldn't recommend it for everyone but it was ok as my number 10 book of the year.
