Playing with Boys by Alisa Valdes-Rodriguez

2.0

At it's heart this is chick lit but quite honestly the characters are annoying and rude. The book centers around 3 Latina women- Marcella (a big boobed actress who finds all of self worth in shopping and her appearance), Alexis (a Republican from Texas who god forbid is fat which of course makes her unlovable and disgusting) and Olivia (who is defined by her child and her cheating husband). The writing was super simplistic and almost likeit had been written by a teenager. The characters are more like caricatures than real women. The story is like a 12 year imagining this exciting world of money, movie stars and musicians. All in all I was pretty disappointed.
