"While the book does not aspire to any deep or aiding look at the struggles of Latina women in the US, it also does not shy away from these topics. Don't be put off by the cover, while a fast paced read, this is a book which has its serious poignant moments. "

    " Ok, it's chicklit, so it's trashy and shallow but it's also a really fun, breezy read and it's really sassy. A great vacation or beach read. "

    " I chose this for an entertaining summer read to give myself a break from the heavier challenge list reading I've been doing. It certainly lived up. This is a story about Latina women who met in college & became a tight knit group, even though they were from different places & backgrounds, like Colombia, Cuba, PR, etc. They all became successful in their own rights, & this story, told by a different "sucia" each chapter, explains that sometimes what you see on the outside is very different than what goes on behind closed doors. But through it all, they love each other, & are there for each other when the chips are down. I learned a bit about several different cultures along the way as well, which I really liked. "

    " Another book I never would have picked up if it wasn't in the free section. I laughed through the entire book. It's about a group of 20-something Hispanic women, and their different views and ways of life in the U.S. Very good read. "

    " Hispanic-influenced story of a group of female friends...from professional to stay-at-home mom. None of the characters are one-dimensional...in fact, the author leads you to form impressions of the characters and then you end up changing them later in the novel. Nice story of friendship. "
