You Had Me at Hola by Alexis Daria

listen. i think...that this would make a pretty good telenovela. i'd probably watch it. it just did not really come out well in writing. it felt like we only knew the characters had chemistry because their raging attraction was being shoved down our throats, instead of showing us the chemistry. the author did have some really odd quirks, as well. she mentioned "single-cup coffee makers" and jasmine's solar plexus so many times that they started standing out to me. the sex stuff was weird, too: please tell the police that i was murdered by the line "he pictured her plumping her breasts for him so he could spray his load all over them." just the so-clinical "breasts" compared to "spray his load" has utterly killed me.
and then, at the very end, the thing jasmine got soooooo angry for? absolutely out of pocket. he did NOT owe you that, not until HE felt ready. there is a difference between withholding out of dishonesty and withholding for protection, and only a child is unable to tell the difference.
