would-rec
i like reading chicklit that's aimed at "other" audiences - just to see what it's like.
this is basically sex & the city meets hispanic new york, and it's just genius. i don't know how to describe it. there's Usnavies - (yes, her mother named her US Navies, but she pronounces it different) - and there are four other fantastic characters. you feel for them all, you love them all, you get the idea of the differences between hispanics - puero rican, dominican, latin american, mexican - they are different yet the same, and somehow . . .
i don't know. sometimes i think chicklit is the best venue for showing american women what the other side is like, and i love this book for that. i would recommend it to anyone, and that seems like i have such little taste, but it's a fun read, and it's serious at the same time, and honestly, the characters are so well done, you love them all.
