You Had Me at Hola
by Alexis Daria
4.5 You know the kind of stories that wrap you up in a fuzzy blanket and make all your troubles fade into the background? Yeah, this is one of those. You Had Me at Hola is fun, sweet, funny, at times downright adorable, and also steamy. Because really, any romance that begins with a snarky coffee spill meet cute is sure to have plenty more perfection in store. I loved the way that the telenovela plot directly played into the main plotline between Jasmine and Ashton. Also, can we talk about how wonderful it is to see mainstream telenovela portrayal and destigmatization of them and soaps? And intimacy coordinators? I really really hope that's a real thing.
Daria crafts beautiful, complex characters (Ashton's son made me melt), whose motivations extend far beyond wooing each other, thereby lending credibility to their actions, even when the relationship sometimes felt a bit clunky/cheesy. Ultimately though, the conversations surrounding what it means to trust someone, and balancing privacy in a public world made up for it, and somehow added to the swoon.
