The Dirty Girls Social Club

By Alisa Valdes-Rodriguez

It's not really a club. It's just a group of women who became friends in college and still keep in touch even though they no longer live near each other.
Lauren writes a column about her ordinary life for a Boston newspaper. She has a boyfriend, but she suspects he is unfaithful. She is bulimic and tends to drink too much.
Usnavys is successful and self-employed and loves the finer things in life. Her serious boyfriend is the opposite and never seems to have two pennies to rub together.
Sara is the devoted wife and mother but seems unable to accept the truth about her husband, an abusive brute who ends up putting her in the hospital and causing her to lose her unborn baby.
Rebecca is the successful owner of a magazine for women. She is also unhappily married when a handsome and available new man enters her life.
Together they are the dirty girls and together they help each other cope with the ups and downs of just being alive.

This was an OK read. Kind of boring at times. Predictable too.
