SOLVED. Fiction, romance?: an author releases a book that flops everywhere except Mexico. He goes to Mexico for a book tour and it turns out that it's a hit in Mexico because the (female) translator made it so much better.

I started reading this book about an author who releases a book that absolutely flops everywhere except Mexico. His publisher forces him to go to Mexico for a book tour. It turns out that it's such a hit because the translator made it so much better. He meets her and presumably they fall in love, but I don't know because I never finished it and can't find it anywhere.

Is this the plot of the story or did this happen IRL to the author?

[Amelia]

this is the plot.

I don't think it was based on a novel, but this is the exact plot of an Amazon Prime rom com named "Book of Love."

Wait, that is so embarrassing, it absolutely is a movie. Thank you so much!!!

I make that same mistake all the time!! :)
