Alexis Daria tackles Latino family dynamics, romance and career in 'A Lot Like Adiós.' - NBCLatino
Alexis Daria, the author of the bestselling “You Had Me at Hola,” writes about two young professionals balancing parents, career aspirations and a romantic past.Sept. 14, 2021, 5:55 PM UTCIt’s like a story from a telenovela. Two Latino childhood friends reunite after not speaking to each other for over a decade following their steamy kiss, and, as they balance their own complex family dynamics along with pursuing their dreams, they have to face their old feelings.
The book begins by following Gabe, who is Mexican Puerto Rican, 13 years after he left Michelle and broke away from his parents' demanding expectations, becoming the co-owner of a famous celebrity gym in Los Angeles. When deciding on starting the romance series, Daria thought about her own close bonds with her Latino cousins. She said she decided the series would highlight Michelle and her cousins, known as the Primas of Power, and the romance"spiraled" out from there.
"Any family has complicated family dynamics," she said,"but particularly I think in Latino households, there is a focus on family, and it can be both a comfort and uncomfortable at times."
