I’m obsessed with this book!! Jasmine and Ashton are two telenovela stars who are also just two emotional softies who want love. They’re both incredibly down to earth, and absolutely perfect for each other. I loved that this romance was less about big gestures and more about falling in love during the small moments. It contrasted beautifully with the chaos of their lives.
I also really enjoyed all of the family dynamics in this one. It reminded me of my own. The fact that Jasmine can’t speak a ton of Spanish really spoke to me, because my Tagalog is rough

THIS IS BOOK IS SO CHARMING, Read it on a day, the rhythm was really good and the chemistry... OMG!!!! The show was really cheese but fun to read, the only thing that I thought was lacking is the similarity with the reality, the ending is just too dreamy, the were already nominee for golden globe AND Tony Award? Come on. But besides that, it was really good and light.

There wasn’t anything really wrong with this book but i wouldn’t go out of my way to recommend it to people. it was just I don’t know is very slow and I just felt like there was nothing going on I felt like the author was trying to shove the telanovella into the story because we would randomly get scenes from it, but we would get jumping scenes. They didn’t add anything to the story at all. The behind the scenes stuff was good, it added into he story but the scenes themselves I don’t understand why they were there. This book was sold to me as “if you loved Jane the virgin you’ll love this” and I just feel as though that’s false. I LOVED Jane the virgin but this fell 100% flat for me. The only thing that was the same was the character’s backgrounds, other then that there wasn’t anything really.

Fun, easy romance with a cast of Latinex characters. Warning: very open-door!

3.5 - Such a great diverse book.
I thought the characters were okay, just not fleshed out enough. The main character, Jasmine, was great, and I was really happy with how confident she was unabashedly. The male lead Ashton was a little immature and some of his fears were realistic. I'm glad that it showed him as insecure, since we don't get that a lot in fiction, but I didn't enjoy reading his perspective all that much since he was whiny often.
The story was decent, just not paced well. I felt like the climax and resolution was too short. The climax wasn't thrilling or scary enough since it couldn't be fleshed out. The resolution was just a few pages and didn't feel fulfilling enough.

I thought I would love this book, but it just missed the mark for me.
I thought this book would be dramatic and OTT but I found myself feeling bored -obviously this book just wasn’t what I thought it was.
This was more of a romance novel than I anticipated, but the characters fell madly in love at some point, and I totally missed it. They went from not talking, to die for you love, with zero chemistry or build up.
