The Dirty Girls Social Club
Author: Alisa Valdes-Rodriguez
A vibrant and absorbing novel of six friends--each an unforgettable Latina in her late twenties--and the complications and triumphs in their lives — As soon as it was written, The Dirty Girls Social Club began turning heads. The Chicago Tribune reported that the book "set off a bidding frenzy" among publishers. The Associated Pre...  more »s reported that "even people running the copy machines at major publishing houses just had to read The Dirty Girls Social Club."

It’s no wonder the media is all in a whirl. In this heartfelt and absorbing novel, Valdes-Rodriguez opens up the lives of six upwardly mobile Latina friends in their late 20’s. These women, who come from widely varied backgrounds, meet at Boston University and, after graduating, reunite every six months to share their stories. Facing the complications and pressures of everyday lives, the Social Club offers a chance to meet regularly, dish, dine, and help each other over the bumpy course of life and love.

Filled with humor, drama, and the redemptive power of friendship, The Dirty Girls Social Club promises to be one of the most talked-about books of the year.

Interesting look at a group of women who may all be Latinas but who couldn't be any more different in every way! I enjoyed it a lot.

This book was hard to read since I don't speak any Spanish. The plot was good, but I think that a lot of subtleties were lost on me...

The book started out very slow for me. Around the 2nd half of the novel, my interest picked up and I got to the point I couldn't put it down. Each chapter is written through a different character.

relateable, fun and even a little gritty.

This is one of those books that you hear about through word of mouth - from friends, sisters, amigas - and after you read it, you love it! Not only that, you start recommending it to your friends and sisters. Granted, you may have to be Latina to get this book, but I think if you are a woman with a close knit group of girlfriends, you can still identify with one of the six Sucias, which is the name the ladies refer themselves to. I have read this book at least three times.

This book was kind of a disappointment. It was really slow and I never really got into it. The ending also left me a bit unsatisfied.

I found this Latina Chick Lit very enjoyable. The reader does a good job with the different characters.
