“You can pretty much judge a “chick lit” book by its candy-hued cover. And you can probably guess what you’ll find inside: The tale of a young, stiletto-heeled heroine who finds true love and breaks through the glass ceiling – all without scratching her Jimmy Choo shoes.
Perhaps because the genre has gotten so predictable, sales have begun to flag. In hopes of expanding chick lit’s audience, publishers have begun pushing a Latina variant on the formula ”” “chica lit” novels featuring mujeres who can accessorize with the best of them. Though this subgenre is only a few years old, it already boasts a few veteran authors, including Alisa Valdes-Rodriguez (”The Dirty Girls Social Club,” “Playing With Boys”), Mary Castillo (”Hot Tamara”) and Sofia Quintero (who wrote the hip-hop potboilers “Explicit Content” and “Picture Me Rollin’ ” under the pen name Black Artemis). All have new novels out this year.”
