The Sucias are back in this sexy showstopper of a novel from the bestselling author of The Dirty Girls Social Club.
In Dirty Girls on Top, the Sucias are five years older, five times as much fun—but, sad to say, maybe not five times wiser. Lauren is at the top of her game as a columnist for the Boston Herald but still hasn't figured out how to pick a guy—or how to eat (and not eat) like a healthy person. And Usnavys is still sashaying all over town, all 260 pounds of her dolled up in designer duds and ready for action—action from anyone except her husband, Juan, who has become just the littlest bit boring staying home taking care of the house and baby Carolina. Maybe the other Sucias could help Lauren and Usnavys—that is, if they didn't have so many of their own messes to deal with. Ella magazine founder Rebecca has just found out that her picture-perfect marriage may not yield any children. Sara may be the star of her own decorating show on television, but her dangerous pull toward her ex-husband Roberto isn't so pretty. Amber keeps renaming herself, hoping that that's enough to keep the public interested in her music. And Elizabeth is discovering that a relationship with another woman takes more than being out and proud.
Most of all, Dirty Girls on Top is all about sex and love—getting it, not getting it, yearning for it, having it with the wrong person, fighting it from the right person, trying it a new way, giving up on it, and, in the end, if your fingers are crossed, having it come out just the way it should.

"Fun sequel to Dirty Girls Social Club. Kept me engaged during all the "sucias'" drama in their lives. I love Usnavys and wish Lauren would find true love already and quit whining. All in all, an easy and fun read that kept me laughing, and crying at times. "
— Mari (4 out of 5 stars)
A rare sequel that's as much fun as the original.
— Kirkus“Fast-paced, sexy tale.”
— Los Angeles Times“[A] madcap, full-of-heart adventure.”
— Redbook“Passionate and provocative.”
— Publishers Weekly“A rare sequel that’s as much fun as the original.”
— Kirkus Reviews" I was really looking forward to this sequel but it was a big disappointment for me. A lot of the characters seemed to behave as though the first book never happened and they had to learn the same lessons all over again. Also an uncomfortable amount of explicit sex scenes in my opinion. "
— Samantha, 5/11/2011" I thinks she's losing her touch. It was easy and fun to read...most of the time, but also seemed to be trying to hard. Maybe I was just in a different place when I read the other "Dirty Girls" but I didn't find this one as good. "
— Cindy, 2/15/2011" I enjoyed listening to this book. Sexually explicit warning for blashful readers . . . lol "
— Elisa, 2/8/2011" A good fast read about friendship told from the Latina perspective. "
— ms, 12/2/2010" Flawed, but really interesting characters. Better than the first one. Not perfect by any means, but it kept my attention - which is really rare these days. "
— Courtney, 10/9/2010" Fabulous tale of four friends living very different lives in Boston. "
— Angela, 8/29/2010" absolutely loved this. such great characters and a really intense story. "
— Meredith, 3/25/2010" This book was just too awful. I really enjoyed DGSC so I was excited for this one. I made it about 100 pages in and couldn't tolerate another page. "
— Kate, 3/11/2010" This book is part of a series that speaks to me as a Latina woman. While there are some characters I can't relate to, others I feel I can. A good and fun read. "
