This is a very cute rom com with some unique elements. I loved the family members of Jasmine and Ashton. The show within a book gave a lot of good insights into celebrity culture, especially for Latinx actors.
I won a copy of this book from a Goodreads giveaway.

DNF’d at page 94.
I just couldn’t connect to this novel like I wanted. It was a little over dramatic and the Spanish took me away from the story (No fault of the authors)

Daria's novel You Had Me at Hola was a delightful mix of telenovela drama and insider hollywood that took you along on a ride as the characters learned how to open up after complicated romantic pasts have left them at a stand still. It's a fast paced read with lots of sizzling scenes between the romantic leads along with beautiful sentimental moments when they make emotional connection. A great read for the beach or the next time you need a book for vacation.

3.5 stars for me. Good but predictable romance. Lovely latinx representation.

The character growth here was a 10/10 and the story made me proud to be Hispanic

This was one of my most anticipated books of 2020 ever since I heard about it last May. I was so excited because the premise sounded so unique and interesting; safe to say I had high expectations. Sadly, it didn’t turn out that way. It’s not a bad or boring book, but it was lacking, in my opinion. I was expecting it to be super romantic and “scandalous” since showbiz was involved.
I loved the diversity brought by the Latinx crew! And I would have loved the single-dad trope, but that’s one of my gripe about this book. I wish there was more scenes and connection in the book, not just written in summary of how their weekend went. Also, I wish when Yadiel met Jasmine, there was more scenes with them together.
Though this was “romantic”, I didn’t feel connected to the characters. They were somehow flat, and their flaws and problems were so easily resolved that it lacked the punch and the emotions of the readers.
It’s an okay book, I just felt so detached and that I was aware the entire time that they’re fictional characters in a book. I’ll read the next book, which I think will be about Michelle, but I’ll probably go in there with lower expectations. I still recommend this book especially if you enjoy watching telenovelas.
