You Had Me at Hola
by Alexis Daria
You Had Me at Hola takes us to the set of a new telenovela being filmed in NYC.
Jasmine, a soap opera actress, has recently had a very public break-up with her rockstar boyfriend. They've been splashed all over the tabloids, which is making it especially hard for her. But, she is excited that she is going to start filming a new bi-lingual romantic comedy series for a streaming service. Her co-star is Ashton, a telenovela heart throb from Puerto Rico by way of Florida. Jasmine is hopeful that this new role will finally give her leading lady status and Ashton is hopeful that his role will help him open us his career to American audiences. As the romance develops between their two characters on screen, the two grow closer off-screen.
This was a fun read. It helped me to escape the election madness. Both of the lead characters were likable and had clear motivations. There were definitely a few steamy scenes in there, remniscent of Love Quotient. I also enjoyed the peek into the creation of a new show and the Latinx cast of characters of this #ownvoices romance. It makes me want to rush off and watch Jane the Virgin or Ugly Betty.
Thank you to the publisher for the review copy!
