Dirty Girls on Top by Alisa Valdes-Rodriguez

Bestselling Author of The Dirty Girls Social Club

Five years ago Alisa Valdes-Rodriguez took the world by storm with her debut novel, THE DIRTY GIRLS SOCIAL CLUB, and now she and the dirty girls are back for more drama, more friendship and a lot more crazy love and hot sex. This summer, in DIRTY GIRLS ON TOP (July 8, 2007, St. Martin’s Press, 0-312-34967-X, $24.95, 320 pages) the sucias are all about sex and love—getting it; not getting it; yearning for it; having it with the wrong person; giving up on it; and in the end, if they’re lucky, having it feel just the way it should.

What have the sucias been doing with themselves for the past five years?

Lauren
She’s still at the top of her game as a columnist for the Boston Herald but she still hasn’t figured out how to pick a guy—or eat and drink—like a healthy person.

Usnavys
The sucia named for the “U.S. Navy” boat her mother hoped would take her away from Puerto Rico is still sashaying all over town. All 260 pounds of her is dolled up in designer duds and ready for action. That is, as long as that action is coming from anyone BUT her “Mr. Mom” husband Juan.

Rebecca
From the outside it looks like she has everything she’s ever wanted. She’s the founder of Ella magazine, her London born Nigerian husband Andre treats her like a queen, and they are the most loving power couple any of the sucias have ever seen. The only thing missing is the baby she desperately wants.

Sara
She’s a sucia Martha Stewart. She has her own decorating TV show, but all of her success can’t fight the dangerous pull toward her abusive, on-the-run ex-husband. He fled after he almost killed her, yet somehow he still finds ways to control her.

Amber
Her life is loco, she’s tough as ever and now goes by the name Cuicatl. She’s more famous than she could’ve dreamed, but crowds at her concerts are getting smaller and smaller and she feels like the sucias know nada about what it’s like being her.

Elizabeth
She’s out and she’s proud. She’s in love with the African baby boy she just adopted, but she has no idea how to find the right partner to share her life with. The longtime crush she’s had on Lauren isn’t making her love life any easier.
