[Patrick_Sanchez]Girlfriends(azw, epub, lrf, mobi, pdf){Zzzzz}

Okay, there are worse things than bringing your gay hairdresser as your date to your ten-year reunion. Yet after grudgingly witnessing another friend's wedding, assistant bank manager Gina Perry has hit an all-time low... or so she thinks. Until her mangy mutt Gomez has soiled the carpet again, she's been robbed at knife point by a drive-through customer, and she's had a drunken one-night stand. So what's a girl to do? Forget about finding Mr. Right and keep an eye out for Mr. Maybe.

Editorial Reviews
From Publishers Weekly

The recent craze of hapless singletons tackling seemingly infinite battles in career and romance has inspired yet another jungle of comical mishaps in debut novelist Patrick Sanchez's Girlfriends. From one-night stands to embarrassing high school reunions, Sanchez places his 20-somethings, a trio of chic, ambitious, unlucky-in-love (and often unoriginal) characters, in the most unbelievable though occasionally amusing circumstances. Clearly taking his cue from Candace Bushnell (Sex and the City) and Helen Fielding (of Bridget Jones fame), Sanchez's style is light and entertaining; the episodic nature of the novel may leave readers wondering whether a TV series is in the works.

Couldn't Stop Laughing
By A Customer

I picked up this book because the cover was so eyecatching. I read the back cover and the first page and I crossed my fingers hoping it would be a winner. It definitely was. Cheryl, Linda, Gina, Peter and Shirley - definitely kept me laughing. You know we've all had evil thoughts about striking back at people in order to get even but through (Patrick)- thank you Patrick!) We now have new ideas!! This book will make you laugh and smile. It will make you take a good look at your own life and all the mistakes we've all made. I can't wait till his next novel! A definite MUST read.



Good Read
By kendari2

Patrick Sanchez debut novel "Girlfriends" is a good read. Girlfriends tells the story of Gina, Cheryl, & Linda and their life situations.
Gina is looking for Mr. Right, but is always finding Mr. Wrong, has a job she despises, and a mother (Shirley) who will have you laughing through the whole book.
Cheryl is dating Gina's ex...a guy who is not ready to make a committment, yet wants to keep Cheryl hangin' on. She turns to the personals for a little attention. She meets a fine specimen of a man.....but does he really want her?
Linda is Gina's co-worker and she is also....of course looking for love. Has she found Ms. Right in her customer at the bank where she works?
Patrick Sanchez tells a very funny and witty story about these three women and their search for happiness. I look forward to more from Mr. Sanchez in the future. Continued success & blessings.

Surprise, surprise,sur-prised
By "shoppnmama-aol"

Girlfriends certainly caught me off guard. Remember the old saying don't judge a book by it's cover. Well it's true, I was so certain this was a story of three African American sistahs with plenty of drama going on. Especially being a big fan of African American books.
Our bookclub voted to change the scheduled book for this one. Were we ever surprised. Gina, Cheryl , Linda, Peter , and Shirley gave us an insight of there lives and they were something else.Characters we will remember for awhile. This was such a humorous story at times .I was in stitches from laughing so hard.. I will admit a book I probably would not have read had it not been for the cover. It was not a fast read ,but one I enjoyed reading. What a pleasant surprise. Surprise , surprise , surprised.
You got me Mr.Sanchez !
