This book was hard to read since I don't speak any Spanish. The plot was good, but I think that a lot of subtleties were lost on me...

More guilty pleasure reading! In a similar vein of "Sex and the City."

This book was kind of a disappointment. It was really slow and I never really got into it. The ending also left me a bit unsatisfied.

FUN! Not at all what I expected. I loved the changing point of view of all the different characters.

I had a hard time keeping myself interested for the first 100 pages. After that I was pretty well aquainted with the six charaters and had a entertaining time reading their story. It was truley a celebration of what a friendship should be, no matter how different ones lifestyle or personality. It was abmirable to see these girls with such different views stick together and pull eachother thought their hard patches of live. All in all a good read.

When I first starting reading this, I didn't think I would like it, but it's one of my favorite chick Lit books....you fall in love with the characters!

This is an entertaining and inspiring book about the lives of 6 friends. The author gives each character depth, and though they are completely different from each other, they maintain their friendship through all of life's ups and downs. Excellent debut novel!

Great read!

Meet the dirty girls--Lauren, Sara, Amber, Elizabeth, Rebecca, and Usnavys--six friends whose mutual support and (mostly)admiration society sorts out and celebrates the complications and triumphs in each other's lives. No matter what happens to each of them (and a lot does), the Girls dish, dine, and compare notes on the bumpy course of life and love. There's always a lot of catching up to do.

Quick and easy to read novel. Great beach book! Funny and entertaining.

This was a good story of how women bond from colege to adult life.

Kim V. (Kimivan) reviewed on 11/12/2006...


Great book- fun reading! Enjoyed these characters, and their stories. I don't speak Spanish, and only understand a bit, but I still loved it!

Fun, light reading.

WONDERFUL book about 6 friends from BU. Kind of like a Latina group of Ya-Yas

good book

2 stars - just okay.

Laura L. (Wildflower67) reviewed on 5/29/2006...


A book about six girls who meet in college and stay friends even many years later. They all have their hispanic heritage in common, even though they are different religions and different colors. This book explores their lives as they are today as well as stories from their pasts and how they have changed (or not) over the years since their college days.

Karla F. (KarlaF) reviewed on 5/23/2006...


I had a hard time putting this book down, although I also had some character confusion in the beginning. I adored the characters in this book, who are richly textured and interesting. The relationships between the women are equally endearing. Just an all-around great book.

Andrea T. (ajane) reviewed on 4/20/2006...


I tried, but just couldn't get into this book. :/

David C. (dcampbel) reviewed on 4/16/2006...


From my wife - it's a fun read for women who would like some insight into the latina culture.

Angel R. (Angelbaby666) reviewed on 4/6/2006...


I love this book and this author. It made me cry, laugh, and cry and laugh at the same time! I'm now a die hard fan of Alisa Valdes-Rodriguez!

Stephanie B. (slam889) reviewed on 3/30/2006...


I had a little trouble getting into the book becuase each chapter is written from a different character's point of view. But by the middle the book had my attention. The book is about a group of girls that met in College and still meet once a month years later.

Christal H. reviewed on 2/2/2006...


My book club was to read this but this was the only one I couldn't finish. I just don't like this Chick Lit. stuff. However, it did get very good reviews and was only the New York Time Bestseller list.

Carrie N. (clnelson) reviewed on 1/19/2006...


I love this author! Her writing is injected with so many little smart bits, but is still such a good time to read. Clever, heartwarming, and full of personality.

Melanie B. (melaniewb) reviewed on 1/16/2006...


A funny, witty book

Lorrie M. (ilovedale3) reviewed on 1/10/2006...


Cute chick-lit story. I didn't think it was as great as everyone else made it out to be, but it was a nice, easy read.

Beth R. reviewed on 11/12/2005...


Don't remember much being "dirty" about it. Decent enough chick lit with a little ethnic mixed in

Erika Y. (buttaflies79) reviewed on 10/6/2005...


I couldn't get past the first 23 pages.

Heather C. (wsugirl05) reviewed on 10/2/2005...


It was interesting seeing how these woman go through their lives. It definitly a womans novel that anyone would like to read.

Holly G. reviewed on 9/25/2005...


Latina ChickLit. Six friends who come together for a monthly meeting to tell or keep secret what is happening to each of them.

Savi M. (teknogurlie) reviewed on 9/21/2005...


Hilarious! This is the first novel by this wonderful writter. It's full of love, scandal, emotion, definately the type of book to share between girlfriends. Learn what a "Sucia" is really all about....

Joan W. reviewed on 6/23/2005...


Great beach read-the story of four women-the chapters alternate to tell the story of each one.

Susan O. (SuzO) - Rochester, NY reviewed on 4/24/2005...


A fun, predictable read.

Wendy P. reviewed on 3/18/2005...
