What a way to start the year

You Had Me At Hola by Alexis Daria

January 12, 2021 by Manimama Leave a Comment

After failing miserably to keep up with reviews last year, I’m hoping to do better with this Cannonball. And so to start off my year of reading I picked You Had Me At Hola by Alexis Daria. This romance reminded me a lot of Jasmine Guillory’s better books. Jasmine is a soap star looking to get a big break and make more of her career. She lands the lead role on a series for a streaming service and is determined to make the most of it. […]

A sweet telenovela romance.

You Had Me at Hola by Alexis Daria

August 27, 2020 by narfna Leave a Comment

Thanks to Netgalley and Avon for an ARC of this book! This was fun! I liked but didn’t love her first book. This one worked much better for me. I loved the telenovela TV set background. I really liked both characters, and thought they had great chemistry with each other. The secondary characters could have used some rounding out, but the book was pretty short, so there might not have been time. I would actually have liked this to be longer so it could be […]

Jasmine’s Leading Lady Plan

You Had Me at Hola by Alexis Daria

July 28, 2020 by Emmalita 2 Comments

I’ve been hearing buzz about Alexis Daria’s You Had Me at Hola for weeks. I was very happy to see it on NetGalley and to receive a copy in exchange for an honest review. It’s wonderful, I finished it in just a few hours. Actress Jasmine Lin Rodriguez is back in her hometown, NYC, to take the lead in a remake of an old telenovela, Carmen in Charge. She’s excited about the new roll and the career boost this could be, but her face is all […]

Romancing on DWTS

November 16, 2018 by Sophia 1 Comment

After my traumatic reading of The Liar’s Club, I was eager to get back to some unrealistic, but fun and romantic stories with a fairy tale ending. I don’t watch much television anymore (unless I can get it on Netflix), but when I did, I was a sucker for Dancing With the Stars. Being a bad dancer myself, I feel like I can really appreciate the talent of the professional dancers on the show. And there’s something about the pairing of professionals and other famous people that […]

Dance partners on reality TV show fall in love.

March 30, 2018 by narfna 3 Comments

I wanted to like this so much more than I actually did. Like, trade secret here, even though I do not enjoy most reality TV, I realllllly enjoy reading about characters in books or stories (and fanfic, let’s be honest) being on reality TV competitions. (This is similar to me not really liking sports, but loving stories about people who play sports. Why? Shrug.) Take the Lead is Alexis Daria’s first novel, and I think you can tell. It was very uneven for me. One minute I’d […]
