Summary

Following in the footsteps of such compilations as Living Large (2003), a set of four stories about African American women by four authors, Friday Night Chicas presents four novellas about four memorable Friday nights by four up-and-coming Latina authors. Mary Castillo follows an aspiring filmmaker on the Hollywood party scene, where she's seduced by a director. Caridad Pineiro takes readers to Miami's^B South Beach, where a group of gal pals help their best friend celebrate her thirtieth^B birthday. Next stop is Chicago, where Berta Platas portrays a former wallflower who finds that sparks can fly at her high-school reunion. Sofia Quintero's novella is set in New York, where a group of college roommates are reunited for a bachelorette party. All four writers spice up their stories with sexy scenes, but at the core of each story is a strong female bond. The successful, smart, and alluring women will hook readers, and the abbreviated format will have them wanting more. Hopefully, these authors will oblige.
