   photo by google.com edited on canva.com

To start with, this novel tells the romance story of Aston and jasmine both of them are artists or movie star to be specific. 

I never thought it will highlight two different story. What I’ve expected when I read it in a very beginning is the ups and downs to be the movie star, but I was wrong. 

The author give a very huge space filled with the story from the film which they were starred. 

It talks a lot about telenovella film series which I don’t even know what kinds of movie is it LOL. 

Totally make sense because aston is being famous because being one of the most popular cast who jasmine’s grandma love so much in it. While jasmine is the ordinary movie star with high confidence and have sense of humor. 

I just laugh out loud when she dragged out the television wire because it broadcasted lamely about her broke up story. 

If you guys aware of the title you had me at holla actually addressing Aston and Jasmine first meet. They greet each other with holla (spanish). It actually their first time to have film project together. 

Looking back to the tittle, it fully expected that the ending will the same way, It is suspicious. I don’t get the emotion involved during reading this novel, but I enjoy for sure the second scene especially when jasmine wearing a teenage t-shirt in confidence during the first time of reading section before the movie start filming.

 

It just remind myself “just be confidence of what u’re wearing than other people won’t notice the lacks”

As I’ve pointed out that this novel highlight two a bit different story from their real life and their movie. 

Watching romance movie always be my things and of course I wait the dirty scene on it, but after I read this novel, it becomes real that what they have filmed on screen are totally just for the sake of the audience.

They did rehearse in every move especially the intense one such us (oops). I didn’t think that aston have had a child and jasmine just accept whatever him be in the end. 

I also hate that this novel contain too many explained dirty scene, pelaese Everyone knows it gives such pleasure, but don’t put too much sugar on foods and drinks, you’ll get diabetes soon.

I just felt flat could guess what the ending even the story. But thing that my chest totally accepted is I learn plenty of Spanish words here. I know abuelita and abeulito, mijo, amigos and so on. 

Obviously ivy because jasmine have the best cousins the world has ever asked and could easily become everyone you need in your life, parents, best friends, drunker, manager etc. I didn’t catch memorable quotes here and just reading till it finally turns to end.
