Dirty Girls on Top by Alisa Valdes-Rodriguez
2.0
i'm listening to the audio version, and unfortunately it's not the same reader who did an incredible job reading "the dirty girls social club." i cannot even begin to fathom why they would choose a reader for this book who does not know spanish. my ears are in agony, but there's no print copy at my library and i want to find out what happens next.
so, now that we've established that the reader sucked- the book was not that great either. it seemed like valdes-rodriguez took all the growth the characters experienced in the first book and reversed it so that they were being idiots about the exact same problems they resolved the first time. sure, it's realistic human behavior, but makes for an annoying sequel. amber/cuicatl was the only character i didn't want to smack in the face this time around, which is weird because i totally did in the first book.
although i did like what happened to roberto.
