Season 3 is one of my favourite seasons of Gilmore Girls - the romance between Rory and Jess the sweetest thing that happened on TV - so I am a bit partial to the books mentioned in it. It helps that I have seen each episode again and again in reruns as well!
I had high hopes for this book, what with there being a mother-daughter solidarity theme in it. A lot of inspirational material for the Girls I thought. But to be honest, I was a bit disappointed. I could feel no spirit, no parallels that got transmitted from the Ya-Ya Sisterhood to the Gilmore Girls. It was a book more about girl gangs and Louisiana food than anything else. I didn't feel any sense of camaraderie or even that of solidarity, reading through the 500 odd pages. The Girls have more emotion, sensitivity and real-life problems than the duo mentioned in the book. But I would still pick up the movie DVD for its portrayal of southern USA (having lived briefly in Arkansas myself) and, for, just plain-old curiosity of book characters-turned-into-actors sake.
Meanwhile, let's try and figure out the context of the lines..
Rory: But for now solidarity sister. / Lorelai: Ya-Ya.
Because I just don't get it.

There definitely was no solidarity between the mother and daughter in Divine Secrets but I felt like those Ya-Yas had it in spades.
