... Sometimes a book is so warming, so charming and so compulsively readable that it wins you over despite its obvious flaws. Alisa Valdes-Rodriguez’s The Dirty Girls Social Club is such a book. Smart, funny and vibrant, it tells the tale of six college friends – all of Latina background in some way – and their various lives, loves and dramas. If it sounds familiar, that’s because the idea of a group of girlfriends and their assorted troubles has been the basis of umpteen pop culture works, as far-flung as Terry McMillan’s Waiting to Exhale and the television program Sex and the City.
But Valdes-Rodriguez manages to keep her book fresh, in spite of its well-worn concept.

A book I bought about FIVE years ago and never registered. I guess it's about time to do that!
April 7, 2013: It's on the short list now!!! I've been making a real effort to read the older books on Mount TBR first, but I treat myself to a Kathy Reichs, Sue Grafton or Janet Evanovich whenever I can!!
