Carolina Impresario is impeccably put together from her head to her feet, and her fastidiousness extends to her office. The glamorous Carolina is the owner of Impresarios’ Salon, the hottest, most sophisticated waxing salon in Manhattan, quite popular with the rich and famous. And despite her cool appearance and the salon’s spotless white walls, Impresarios’ is a family business—both her sisters are professional waxers. Anna, the middle sister, is reentering the working world after an acrimonious divorce, while Sofia, the youngest, is recently married and secretly craving the nightlife she gave up to be a housewife. While dealing with their daily parade of smiley faces, lovers’ initials, and full-on Brazilians, the sisters must handle their love lives and family problems while keeping up faultless appearances, because who knows that a flawless exterior hides an insecure interior better than an esthetician? Rave’s second novel (after Spin, 2009) of love, sex, and families is dishy and fun. The perfect summer read.
