the romance was pretty cute, i love ivan lukov and they are SOOO cute together. the whole "if i don't win then i lose" is really relatable for figure skating and the feeling of being a loser that jasmine has is completely understandable. i really wanted to give it more because i LOVE figure skating with my whole heart, and even if you could clearly see mariana zapata did not take part in a figure skating competition, there's still some good representation of the pain and struggles that you actually have to go through to become a famous figure skater. This story will keep you on your toes! From Lukov with Love is a phenomenal novel that I would recommend to anyone.This is a 3.5 actually. Topics such as ageism, learning disabilities, and difficult familial relationships are also woven in.
They have less than a year to get it together in time to win the gold medal they’ve trained for.
Even their coach is in disbelief at the creativity they each put into their insults. The only problem? Jasmine and Ivan can’t go a minute without arguing. After practice one afternoon, she receives a coveted offer: Ivan Lukov, a renowned skater who has won several awards, needs a partner. The world seems to be screaming at her to hang up her skates, but Jasmine is determined to be able to compete and finally win a gold medal. Jasmine has spent 17 years of her life as a competitive pairs figure skater, but when her previous skating partner and ex sets out to ruin her, she struggles to get back on her feet. The story itself is a journey of self-discovery and coming to terms with several hard realities. It highlights a professional athlete’s struggle to continue loving the sport, as well as committing to a lifestyle that is often without glory or recognition. This book is definitely one for athletes who have spent years of dedication on their craft, as they will easily be able to relate to Santos’ experience. From Lukov with Love by Mariana Zapata is a contemporary romance that follows elite figure skater Jasmine Santos’ career.
