( ) This review was written for LibraryThing Early Reviewers. A sequel to "The Dirty Girls Social Club," I found myself not into this book as much as I was with Rodriguez's first offering. One aspect that completely turned me off was the horrible latin accent provided by the narrator. It was tolerable for Lauren's character since she's not supposed to be fluent in Spanish but it grated on my nerves overall in this one. Overall an easy and fun read that should take no more than a few hours to read and enjoy. This review was written for LibraryThing Early Reviewers. I received this as an early book reviewer not realizing that there was a prequel so I purchased that book and read it first. I think overall this is a great series with more story to tell so I hope the author continues. It's kind of like Sex in the City meets the Latina culture. I like the diversity of characters and their lives. My only negative comment would be that when she had them speak in Spanish often times it was a trite, cliched word or sentence. Even if she has to translate or let the context speak for the words spoken in Spanish, she should be more representative of actual dialogue and not the stereotypical catch phrases everyone knows. I think it dumbs down the story. This review was written for LibraryThing Early Reviewers. I LOVED the first book in this series (The Dirty Girl's Social Club) and so when I found out there was a sequel, I couldn't wait to read it! The girls are back and just as good (If not better) than they were in the first book! I think I'm drawn to this book because it deals with women I can really relate to. The characters are well drawn and are very complex. The problems they face are real-life and not just superficial. I highly recommend this fun and light-hearted series! no reviews | add a review

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.
