You Had Me at Hola by Alexis Daria

Mini review:
What I liked:
- The setting, the set of a telenovela remake, was original
- the Latinx focus was refreshing
What I didn't like:
- I didn't really connect with either character and didn't find them particularly interesting
- the main plot was around secrets and not communicating
- the chapters where they were filming scenes were so... weird. The POV was just all over the place, switching between the actors' thoughts and those of the characters they were playing without any indicators of where which ended or began
- it was all a bit cheesy and over the top
To summarize, this was just an okay read for me.
