And boy, what a sweet ride it was. And the book wasn't just fun, it also explores our MC's struggle as a Latina woman in Hollywood - and I absolutely loved that. I absolutely loved how she came to realize that one doesn't need to choose between her heritage and Americanize herself to prove her worth.
