Divas Don't Yield: A Novel

What starts out as a pilgrimage to a women’s conference turns into an unexpected journey toward self-awareness for four dynamic, sexy women. Jackie confronts her vulnerability as she falls for a handsome lawyer, while Hazel makes the toughest confession of her life. Lourdes stands up to her conservative mother, and Irena faces her demons. As they make their way from town to town, laughing, fighting, crying, and bonding, they learn more about one another, and themselves, than they ever bargained for–and turn plenty of heads along the way. . . .

Reviews for Divas Don't Yield

[auntie0nanuuq · Rating: 2 out of 5 stars]

Just remember, when you read this review, It is me writing it, so you take it w/ a grain of salt:

This is a book I wanted to like, I really did.... Sounds like fun four chicas/amigas out on a Road Trip!

I didn't like the women in the book, I didn't like their families, I didn't like their attitudes.... I don't like jealous b.s. games, I don't like the book....

"Tons of Baggage" is the operator here....... Oh my, 4 pretty, single college "chicas"..... Doing their best to live their lives.... One has a b.f. whose wife wants him back, one is a Lipstick Lesbian in love w/ one of the gals who happens to be her best friend, one is attempting to heal herself from a traumatic experience via spirituality. They battle their lovers, ex-lovers, mothers, fathers... in middle of their battles, they all get up and go on a road trip to San Francisco, and have to deal w/ each other!

Personally, I just didn't care about these chicas.... So sad, too bad!
