Dirty Girls on Top by Alisa Valdes-Rodriguez
2.0
I was very disappointed with this novel and having a read of few other reviews it seems I am not the only one.
I really enjoyed the first book and so was very excited to see its sequel in the library. After only a few pages I really struggled to get through it. The characters all became caricatures of themselves. I can enjoy books without liking the people in it but in this novel they were just too extreme to sympathise with in anyway. Many of their actions were just bizarre! I understand the need for poetic licence but really there were just too many coincidences that the plot was completely unbelievable.
It did pick up a little bit towards the end (or maybe I was just relieved it was over) but due to how much it dragged for me I can only really give it two stars. Such a shame!
