Jugando con chicos
Description
A delightful and heartwarming tale of three Latina friends navigating life, love, and chasing their dreams in the dazzling city of Los Angeles.
In Alisa Valdes-Rodriguez's delicious new novel, Marcella, Olivia, and Alexis, each a Latina in her late 20's, take Los Angeles by storm. Bonded by their struggles with men and the challenges of making it in L.A., these amigas support each other through thick and thin.
Marcella, a rising television actress, grapples with body image issues despite her success. Olivia, tethered to her toddler son and suburban mommy track, sometimes makes the other girls cringe. And Alexis, a beautiful musicians' manager with plenty of style but little self-esteem, has a complicated love affair with the charming Cuban rapper Goyo.
In Jugando con chicos, Alisa Valdes-Rodriguez crafts a contemporary Cinderella story filled with humor, heart, and the unbreakable bonds of female friendship. This romantic comedy celebrates the joys and tribulations of modern Latina life, delivering an entertaining and emotionally rich beach read.
