I've heard of a bride-zilla...but a quince-zilla?

Nothing heavy here, but that doesn't mean Fifteen Candles by Veronica Chambers isn't a delight!  Alicia has got it made. Wealthy family, easy life, awesome house, lives in Miami.  She's volunteered to help her co-worker Sarita plan her quinceañera - the very special fifteenth birthday party of a young Latina woman.  Alicia enlists the help of her best friends Carmen, Jamie, and Gaz, and together they form Amigas Inc.  The planning starts off great, but as the big day approaches, there are problems right and left.  It's fairly predictable that all will end well, but the glimpse of what goes into a quinceañera was fun and fascinating.  If you like fashion and pop culture, you'll especially have fun with this book, and you might also enjoy the sequel: Lights, Camera, Quince!
