Synopsis
From the front cover flap: "Ricky Biscayne is a sexy Latin singing sensation who has topped the charts and taken the pop world by storm. He's also stormed into the lives and dreams of the women who orbit him: Milan, Ricky's new publicist, smart as a whip and chubby as only a girl who still lives at home with her parents can be. Geneva, Milan's sister, as lean and chic as Milan is not; her Club G promises to be Miami's hottest new thing. Jasminka, Ricky's gorgeous Serbian model wife, who might finally eat a little something now that she's pregnant. Irene, a firefighter whose high-school romance with Ricky was the last love in her life; currently she's eking out an existence for herself and her daughter, Sophia. Sophia, who is beginning to suspect that she and Ricky Biscayne look a little too much alike. Jill Sanchez, an omnivorous media-manic Latina star who has crossed over from CDs to perfume, clothes, and movies." Satirical and amusing; not everything is as it seems to be; explicitly unromantically described sex; obscenities.

By on

This amusing novel satirizes Cuban-Americans, pop singers, materialists, actors, Miami and parts of Florida, the music industry, wannabes of every kind. It is written with humor and is interesting. The story is told in the first person from the points of view of several different people, except in the case of one person who is always "on;" her story is told in the third person. The only way one can tell that the person speaking has changed, however, is that there is a break between the sections and there is something mentioned within the first few lines that indicates who is speaking. The styles are otherwise similar, for the most part. There is obscene language and explicit, noneuphemistic or romanticized descriptions of sex.
