You Had Me at Hola: Primas of Power

Autor Alexis Daria
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 3 sep 2020

Imaginați-vă blițurile paparazzilor reflectate în ochii unei actrițe care tocmai a fost părăsită în cel mai public mod posibil: aceasta este imaginea cu care ne întâmpină You Had Me at Hola. Jasmine Lin Rodriguez nu vrea doar o revenire, ci o reinventare prin „Planul Primei Doamne”, o strategie de a rămâne departe de scandaluri în timp ce filmează o nouă producție majoră pentru o platformă de streaming. Însă, când partenerul ei de platou se dovedește a fi Ashton Suárez, un actor misterios și distant, planul ei începe să se fisureze sub presiunea unei atracții pe care niciun scenariu nu o poate anticipa. Subliniem modul în care Alexis Daria construiește o tensiune de tip „enemies-to-lovers” care nu se bazează pe ură reală, ci pe neînțelegeri și vulnerabilități ascunse. Merită menționat că ritmul cărții oglindește structura unei telenovele — plină de dramatism, secrete de familie și răsturnări de situație — dar păstrează o prospețime modernă. Imaginați-vă tensiunea din While We Were Dating, mutată într-un decor de platou de filmare vibrant, unde limba spaniolă și engleză se împletesc la fel de natural ca emoțiile personajelor. Față de debutul său, Take the Lead, unde autoarea explora lumea dansului, aici Alexis Daria rafinează tema ambiției profesionale care se ciocnește cu dorința de intimitate. Credem că forța acestui roman rezidă în echilibrul dintre momentele „steamy” și explorarea sinceră a identității culturale, oferind o experiență de lectură care este, în egală măsură, amuzantă și profund umană.

Leading Ladies do not end up on tabloid covers. 
After a messy public breakup, soap opera darling Jasmine Lin Rodriguez finds her face splashed across the tabloids. When she returns to her hometown of New York City to film the starring role in a bilingual romantic comedy for the number one streaming service in the country, Jasmine figures her new “Leading Lady Plan” should be easy enough to follow—until a casting shake-up pairs her with telenovela hunk Ashton Suárez. 
Leading Ladies don’t need a man to be happy
After his last telenovela character was killed off, Ashton is worried his career is dead as well. Joining this new cast as a last-minute addition will give him the chance to show off his acting chops to American audiences and ping the radar of Hollywood casting agents. To make it work, he’ll need to generate smoking-hot on-screen chemistry with Jasmine. Easier said than done, especially when a disastrous first impression smothers the embers of whatever sexual heat they might have had. 
Leading Ladies do not rebound with their new costars. 
With their careers on the line, Jasmine and Ashton agree to rehearse in private. But rehearsal leads to kissing, and kissing leads to a behind-the-scenes romance worthy of a soap opera. While their on-screen performance improves, the media spotlight on Jasmine soon threatens to destroy her new image and expose Ashton’s most closely guarded secret.
