All in all, a very enjoyable, engaging read. The book was not at all stereotypical or trite in its portrayal of six contemporary Latina women. They were well-developed characters with distinct identities and lives. Of course, I had to wonder at one point: How would such incredibly diverse women ever become (and remain) friends in the first place? There was plenty of drama and conflicted romance to keep one engaged. Although parts of the plot were a little implausible, there were realistic situations and conflicts. It was easy to picture these women and relate to certain aspects of their lives.
