For one, it goes against Jasmine's plan, and the last thing Ashton needs is a fling with a costar that'll make his complicated personal life into tabloid fodder he needs to focus on breaking out in Hollywood instead. Playing bitter exes forced to work together, Jasmine and Ashton unwittingly get as close to each other as their characters do, much to their chagrin. And she thinks her plan will be easy to pull off - until she meets her co-star, telenovela legend Ashton Suarez, who'll play her ex-husband Victor. After all, Jasmine doesn't need to settle down just because her family thinks it's the key to happiness. We first meet soap opera star Jasmine Lin Rodriguez as she's trying to move on from a public breakup, and after landing a lead role on a bilingual telenovela called Carmen in Charge, she comes up with what she calls a Leading Lady plan - because "Leading Ladies are badass queens making jefa moves." That means focusing on herself, making her family (especially her abuela) proud of her - and swearing off men. This book fizzes with sex, betrayal, lies, and family drama - but the good news is, it comes without an actual telenovela's requisite cliffhangers and tragedies. Alexis Daria's You Had Me at Hola had me at Latinx representation, sexy soapy plot, and a meta-telenovela addicting enough to actually get picked up by Netflix IRL.
