I’d be lying if I said I didn’t love this book. I love the representation of LatinX characters ! The portrayal of love, family, desire and passion. While yes, you probably can guess the plot, I still loved it! The story was sexy, beautiful and so fun. I’m actually so glad that I decided to read this book to the point that I would love a sequel !!! I love how we got an insight into the world of fame and filming and I loved being able to read the episodes as the characters did them and I’m actually so obsessed with this book from the characters to the plot, to the intricate details about culture, pride in our culture and the importance of family.
I don’t even normally like romance books but this book was

I wish I had liked this novel more. I made it about 60% but there wasn’t much to keep me interested. I could see where the story was going and what conflicts were up ahead. Since I didn’t actually read it, of course, it might have turned out differently that what I anticipated, but the story thus far wasn’t compelling enough for me to struggle through it.

Glad that's over. This is my second time reading this book and I remember liking it but I cannot say the same this time. Maybe I'm in a bad mood, maybe my taste is different now and I hate to seem mean but this was...not good. Like I was trying to think of what I liked...maybe the FMC but I feel like she and the MMC could've been better developed because I didn't care all that much about either of them or their arcs and it made the emotional and sex scenes not good at all. I either was getting whiplash or was very unconvinced. I also needed Jasmine to ask Ashton wtf he was talking too at times. He wouldn't have been getting any of this [redacted] talking to me like that. I could feel for him and his need for privacy but that part of his storyline was also resolved a bit too quickly after it was brought up. I need some contemporary romance authors to implement some pacing, no way you're traditionally published moving this fast to the point where it feels inauthentic. Like again I was either very bored or very annoyed but I was kind of wanting to finish it cause I was sure I'd like something but no. Even the dialogue and speaking was a bit awkward at times. I personally don't want to rate it so low but nothing really stands out as being enjoyable so
DNFing at 135. This is terrible. The blurb compares this to Jane the Virgin and The Kiss Quotient. You know what those things have that this doesn't? Good writers. The writing is some of the worst I have seen. So clunky. Insult to injury, Ashton is an absolute dick to Jasmine and yet she wrestles with her attraction and how much she likes being with him. Why? He is either rude or silent unless he is in a scene. I love seeing a diverse Latinx cast of characters but that is all the good I can think of with this mess.
It's a perfect romance: just the right amount of drama without being annoying, perfectly steamy and very, very charming. I loved every minute of it.
To honor this amazing book, I will make this post a Spanglish one. This books truly rePRresents, not only America Latina but the

No puedo creer how beautiful this story was. La comunidad Latinx crece watching telenovelas with their grandmas. It is something that, aunque no lo quieras, you know at least, the name of unas cuantas de ellas. I grew up watching telenovelas Mejicanas with some of them including a few but very talented Puerto Rican actors and actresses. Most of the time el plot de la novela no tiene sentido absoluto and you cannot help but enjoy the extreme drama. This story envuelve a dos actores that are trying to make it in the American acting industry. She has seen many of his telenovela works and her abuela lo adora. Cuando se conocen en el production set, lo hacen de la peor manera and right after that no pueden dejar de pensar en el otro. Jazmin is intrigued by how conservative he is and Ashton (Angel Luis), admires the way she handles fame and all the drama. Ellos comienzan a hang out to practice lines and una cosa llevó a la otra y they ended up…. Well, I’m not going to spoil that. Ashton has a big secret and for the first time ever el comienza a bajar la guardia when he is with her. Their chemistry on set and in real life is amazing. Las escenas románticas te llenan el corazón de alegría y esperanza. There’s a few scenes when there is music involve and honestamente no pude evitar ponerle una pausa al libro, abrir la pagina de YouTube and find the songs to start dancing. If there is something Jazmin and I share is the love for dancing. This story is beautiful and charming and I hope all of you give it a try. It has some steamy scenes, I warned you. I cannot express my gratitude with Alexis Daria for her amazing work at including not only MY culture but also including an amazing set of characters from America Latina. It is truly beautiful. It reminded me of that song from Gente de Zona and Marc Anthony, La Gozadera!

Whew. Looooooved this. I’m sure the stories from PR helped; Humacao is pretty close to where I lived. But so did lines like turning “pants feelings” into emotions. Amazing!
