Synopses & Reviews
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.
Review
"A rare sequel that's as much fun as the original." ---Kirkus
