In other words, they both have serious cases of impostor syndrome. Again, for entirely different reasons, both Jasmine and Ashton are laboring under the mistaken belief that they are not good enough, not doing enough, not accomplishing enough, not trying hard enough, not doing the right things rightly enough. One is that it’s a story of two people who both believe, and for very good but completely different reasons, that they need to concentrate on their careers and absolutely NOT on any possibility of romance. This is a story that works in multiple directions. While Jasmine and Ashton do have each other at “Hola”, it’s also true that the title is quite a bit catchier than the actual truth, which is more like a mutual “you had me when you spilled coffee on me” because that’s not half so romantic sounding – or succinct. Is anyone surprised? In that search I discovered a whole bunch of friends’ recommendations for this book, as well as remembering that it had been on several best of the year lists – and that I had a copy! Problem solved for a day – not that I didn’t immediately go looking for more for the rest of this week. 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. But rehearsal leads to kissing, and kissing leads to a behind-the-scenes romance worthy of a soap opera. With their careers on the line, Jasmine and Ashton agree to rehearse in private. Leading Ladies do not rebound with their new costars. Easier said than done, especially when a disastrous first impression smothers the embers of whatever sexual heat they might have had. To make it work, he’ll need to generate smoking-hot on-screen chemistry with Jasmine. 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.
