Guess I am in an Alexis Daria phase

This was really great and I love the telenovela/Hollywood setting and commentary! I wanted more Jasmine and Ashton though 🥹 also DILFs as love interests 🫶🫶

I just really loved this book. It is such a fun unapologetically Latine romance. I love both of our main protagonists and I especially love Ashton as the leading man. Ashton is such an amazing character, he is such a great father, and he is just a really caring and fun person. I love both his explorations of trauma and Jasmine's explorations of self-worth and independence. I loved the casual inclusion of a wide variety of Latine identities. 

I also just loved the plot outside of the romance with filming the show. I loved the telenovela, soap opera, tv show setting and back plot. It was just a very fun book. I do think at times they could be a bit emotionally immature but it wasn't anything too distracting.

I'm looking forward to more books by this author.
