You Had Me at Hola by Alexis Daria
5.0
This book literally had me at Hola. I was so drawn to the cover and could not wait to read it! I have followed Alexis Daria on Twitter for quite some time now but had not read any of her books yet. My “to read” pile is taller than I am, and I am always adding to it, but after reading YHMAH, this is going to absolutely change! Can’t wait to go back and read her earlier books.
You Had Me at Hola pairs my love of cheesy soap operas and telenovelas with celebrity gossip, romance, and DRAMA. I could simply not get enough of it. The perfect read for this summer, it features a diverse cast of characters, sex positivity, two very lovable Latinx families, and there is no shortage of sexy moments between Jasmine and Ashton.
I absolutely adored the exaggerated drama and one of my favourite things about the book was how the soap was spliced with “real” life. One chapter we’re reading about all of the drama between Carmen and Victor on the show and the next chapter includes the spectacle that is Jasmine and Ashton’s relationship.
Loved the characters and the story and I am really hoping for a second book in the series!
I received an eARC from Edelweiss+ and Avon/Harper Collins in exchange for a fair and honest review, and I’d like to thank them for the advanced copy.
