Discussing The Divine Secrets of the Ya-Ya Sisterhood by Rebecca Wells

Ben & Nate Season 6 Episode 25

Today the boys discuss one of the worst things we've ever had the displeasure of reading. We didin't go in thinking we'd like it. We figured it would be something that just wasn't for us and we could understand (maybe) why others liked it even if it wasn't for us. What we got instead? Awful. Absoilutely positively awful. This is the story of an abused child learning that her abusive mom was a person too and learning to forgive her... no wait, sorry scratch that last part. She learns to apologize to her abusive mom. Her mom is the one who should be apologized to because her mom is luminous while we're a bunch of stupid idiots and her stupid ungrateful daughter needs to learn that her mom did less than the bare minimum necessary to raise those kids and like... some times things were good right? Right? Garbage. This book (and Vivi) was terrible.
