I think I never read a book about Latinas (or Latinos for that matter), so it was really interesting to see how they see themselves and what differences they make between themselves (from which country someone or their ancestors are).
In the beginning I really didn't know what to expect from this book, in which direction it will go. But it turned out (surprisingly) nicely. Each chapter is dedicated to one member of the Club, so that they take turns in telling their story.
The episodes about Sara were shocking, I just cannot understand how someone stays with a person like Roberto. But on the other hand - I've never been in such a situation, so maybe I shouldn't judge.
I was curious about Lauren and Rebecca, if they get their love-interest or not. The parts about the singer Amber bored me a bit, these parts were the least interesting for me.
But all in all quite a nice read, and as I said a whole new perspective for me.
