Title: These are the same people as in "Divine Secrets"?
Review: After reading and loving "Divine Secrets of the Ya-Ya Sisterhood," I have to say I was very disappointed with this book. Wells' second book was much, MUCH better, because you get to see the characters at their best as well as their worst, which is all I felt like I saw in "Little Altars Everywhere." Although parts of this book are really moving and strongly drawn, many parts are slow or unconvincing, and the frequent changes of viewpoint are distracting. Also, you don't get to know each character well enough to really feel for them going through their painful experiences, especially since most of them don't give you any reasons to care, any hint of anything beyond self-involvement and self-pity.
