It's time for everyone's favorite irregular recurring segment here in the comment section of What To Read If: Elizabeth's non-reader brother recommends a book.

But not sure I like Plaza for the character, even though she is Puerto Rican. She's a great actress but she's not how I imagine Olga. And Jesse Williams is definitely not Matteo. Anthony Ramos had to have been first choice, also Puerto Rican:
