You Had Me at Hola

It was fun enough. Main character is an Aries. And the whole 3rd act is just Aries-coded. Would have annoyed me but what else was I expecting

- I found this really enjoyable because it was refreshingly progressive without it seeming forced
- I felt like it really humanized celebrities 
- The FMC annoyed me a little bit sometimes because I felt like she made herself the victim when she wasn’t (through that was acknowledged) and I didn’t like how she almost gave up on everything she worked for for a man. I appreciated that she grew from that through. It drove the plot. 

Fun, light, fast, and spicy.

I would have enjoyed the story on my earlier 20's but now it didn't kept me intrigued in the story enough to keep going.

Hello drama! This book felt like a dramatic telenovela romantic comedy (kinda of like Jane the Virgen). It was funny and over the top but in a way that made the telenovela theatrics enjoyable instead of gimmicky.

This has been on my kindle since 2020 and I finally read it! It was fun. At times the main characters annoyed me. I took this outside to the park across from my apartment, and then the first love scene happened. Oops. 😂 it was worth it. I'm glad I finally read it, and am looking forward to last one coming out later this year.
