Sisterchicks Do the Hula Book

I have never read a book of this genre before, so I decided to branch out a bit. I think the author was so intent on creating an uplifting, clean book that she also wound up writing a bland, bland book. I'm not saying I need murder, wall to wall curses and nonstop sex in my books, but I would like a little more conflict in my books than a character getting orange skin from a self tanner. This book read more like a vacation itinerary than an actual novel with a plot, conflict and resolution. I don't care what fruity drink they had every day and what they ate. It might have been a fun vacation for them, but it made some pretty lame reading for us.
