The Dirty Girls Social Club: Review

In her novel, The Dirty Girls Social Club, Alisa Valdes-Rodriguez takes us into the lives of six Latina women, Las Sucias, who break stereotypes on nearly every page. One realizes she is gay, one has started a successful magazine, one is abused by her lawyer husband, one is a columnist looking for Mr. Right, one is a ghetto-fabulous diva, and one is a musician with a devotion to La Raza that doesn't preclude her singing in English and doing the Latina pop-princess thing.
