Make Him Look Good  Make Him Look Good is a 2006 novel by Alisa Valdes-Rodriguez. Much like her pioneering work "The Dirty Girls Social Club", "Make Him Look Good" falls under the category of Chica lit and explores the p.o.v. of several Latina women as they seek success in their personal and professional lives. The novel revolves loosely around Ricky Biscayne, a Miami based Latin pop-star who is on the verge of releasing his English-language cross-over album, and the women and men whose lives are connected to him. Milan Gotay, a 24-year-old laxative publicist and obsessive Ricky fan, forces her mother and sister to watch him perform on The Tonight Show prompting her successful older sister, Geneva, to pursue him as a sponsor for her new nightclub. The same performance causes Jill Sanchez, a famous singer and actress, to decide to dump her fiancé and re-establish her relationship with Ricky, despite the fact that he is newly married to a Serbian model, Jasminka. The performance also triggers Ricky, energized by his success to finally agree to impregnate Jasminka who is desperate to start a family to help her get over her eating disorder and the loss of her own family who were murdered in the Croatian War of Independence. Matthew Baker, Ricky's producer and friend who is responsible for writing and performing most of Ricky’s songs also watches the performance and is conflicted over Ricky's rising fame. During Geneva’s meeting with Ricky she realizes that he is being poorly managed and has him immediately sign a deal with her. She also suggests that he hire Milan after she learns his current publicist is going to jail. Ricky does hire Milan and decides to seduce her, especially when he realizes that his friend Matthew is infatuated with her. He tells Milan that he and his wife Jasminka have a sham marriage when in reality they are growing apart because she is gaining weight due to her pregnancy and the fact that his addiction to cocaine is making him increasingly paranoid and violent. As Ricky becomes more famous he draws the attention of Sophia, the 13-year-old daughter of single-mother Irene Gallagher. Irene, who works as a fire-fighter in a hostile work environment and struggles with money, tries to deny that Ricky is Sophia’s father, but Sophia convinced of her resemblance to the man, manages to sneak into his private compound where Jasminka lets her into the house. Ricky denies he is her father and, when Sophia talks to the press, convinces Milan to destroy both Irene and her daughter by portraying them as poor, money-hungry gold diggers who are desperate to steal his money.
