The book can also be quite confusing for anyone who is not familiar with Villanueva’s televised story, as it includes appearances by the show’s well-known and strongly opinionated narrator. Additionally, the plot of a young, chaste woman - which works well in the TV version because it’s unusual today - doesn’t resonate in the book because women in that time period were culturally encouraged to wait until marriage anyway. While Villanueva does a thorough job recreating the story in terms of the 1900s robber baron era, the characters only differ from the show’s with minimal name changes, such as Martin Cadden for Michael Cordero and Rake Solvino for Rafael Solano. Though the book does an accurate job showing a deeper look into Villanueva’s thoughts and feelings throughout her complicated romances, it also doesn’t offer many surprises. “Snow Falling,” a reference to Villanueva and Michael’s first kiss, follows a plot which parallels the events of the show, but is set in the early 1900s. 14, the book ghostwritten by Caridad Pineiro, was released by Simon & Schuster, the real-life equivalent of Villanueva’s fictional publisher Lorden + Gregor. While the love triangle of Jane, Michael and Rafael only exists in the fictional world of the show, the book that Villanueva spends both seasons completing has now been published in the real world. Also prominent in the show are the mysterious crimes surrounding the Marbella, Rafael’s Miami hotel.

The show follows the romantic ups and downs of Villanueva, a pregnant virgin caught in a love triangle between her fiancé, Michael Cordero, and Rafael Solano, the father of her child. She’s faced obstacles only believable in a telenovela, but now Villanueva’s dream has finally come true - on and off the screen.

For three seasons, fans of the CW’s “Jane the Virgin” witnessed Jane Gloriana Villanueva, played by Gina Rodriguez, struggle to achieve her dreams of becoming a writer.
