Jquery can't remove div after prepend without reloading the page

Question

I can add an act to my shortlist by clicking the "add to shortlist button". Acts can then be removed from the shortlist by clicking a cross.

However, after adding an act to the shortlist the act will only remove if the page is refreshed. I need to be able to dynamically add and remove acts from the shortlist, without the page refreshing, using the jquery prepend and remove methods.

Add to shortlist button

<a href="javascript:void(0);" data-id="{{ $act->id }}" class="profile-enquiry-btn add-to-shortlist" role="button">ADD TO SHORTLIST</a>

Remove from shortlist button

<a href="javascript:void(0);" data-id="{{ $item['id'] }}" class="removeact remove-from-shortlist">&times;</a>

$(".add-to-shortlist").click(function (e) {
        e.preventDefault();
        var ele = $(this);

        $.ajax({
            url: '{{ url('add-to-shortlist') }}' + '/' + ele.attr("data-id"),
            method: "get",
            data: {_token: '{{ csrf_token() }}'},
            dataType: "json",
            success: function (response) {
                if(response.errors) 
                {
                    toastr["info"]("This act has already been added to your shortlist", "Error");
                }
                else 
                {
                    var data = response.data;   
                    var $id;
                    var $name;
                    var $slug;
                    var $description;
                    var $genres;
                    var $genrenames = '';
                    var $startingprice;
                    var $members;
                    var $image;
                    var $rating;

                    $.each(data, function(i, data){
                        $id            = data.id;
                        $name          = data.name;
                        $slug          = data.slug;
                        $description   = data.description;
                        $genres        = data.genres;
                        $startingprice = data.startingprice;
                        $members       = data.members;
