Dirty Girls on Top  by Alyssa Valdes-Rodriguez

 

In this latest installment of her Dirty Girls series, which hit big in 2003 and created a new genre now known as chica-lit, Valdes-Rodriguez follows the familiar characters introduced in the first novel. The 6 now 30-something amigas are still trying to find their way in life, but are no longer feeling as though they have all the time in the world. Sound familiar? This identification with the characters, Latina or not, is what makes the Dirty Girls series resonate with readers. But the salacious lives they lead is what makes this the perfect summer beach read!
