Second Read (August 2023): 4 stars
I still really enjoyed this. The art style & storyline is engaging and keeps you interested throughout. Very graphic and very adult.

This is definitely an explicit graphic novel but I enjoyed it and am interested to see how the story continues.

As a fan of Jane the Virgin I was excited to see how a book featuring a telenovela would play out, and I am happy to say, this did not disappoint!!
In You Had Me at Hola, we follow two rising LatinX actors landing lead roles in a telenovela- Carmen in Charge. One of my favorite parts were the filming scenes woven into the story and how we got to see Jasmine and Ashton bring their telenovela to life. The parallels between them and their on screen characters was evident and fascinating to see. I also thought the chemistry between Jasmine and Ashton was obvious which also made me eager to see them work together on screen.
This romance is fun, steamy, and rich in culture so if you haven't picked this up yet- PLEASE DO!
Now where is the adaptation because I NEED it in my life. ASAP.

Based on the authors own experiences, this is such a tender, heartbreaking story of love, loss, and reconstruction- as the author put it.
I have not read many books dealing with fertility issues in such a raw way. Having lived through this exact heartbreak, it broke my entire heart and soul wide open. I appreciate the honesty in Ingrid’s story & hope that those who share our experience can find some sort of healing within these pages.
If you are a mama to an angel baby, be gentle with yourself. Read this when and if your heart can handle it.
