From Lukov with Love by Mariana Zapata

"If someone were to ask Jasmine Santos to describe the last few years of her life with a single word, it would definitely be a four-letter one. After seventeen years--and countless broken bones and broken promises--she knows her window to compete in figure skating is coming to a close. But when the offer of a lifetime comes in from an arrogant idiot she's spent the last decade dreaming about pushing in the way of a moving bus, Jasmine might have to reconsider everything. Including Ivan Lukov"--Page 4 of cover.

There's a lot of blinking happening in this book. Yes. Blinking.

4.5/5 stars

I probably would round this up to 5 star if I hadn't read the epilogue, but urgh I did and I hate epilogues. I need ambiguous endings to satisfy my desire to dream. Fuck it. I'm giving it 5 stars. It's been almost four months since I've given a book 5 stars. It's time. What epilogue????

Maybe I don't hate romance. Maybe I just need romance to involve sports and slowburns.

Anyways, this book was far from perfect and usually I rate things super critically but we're making an exception and rating based entirely on vibes and the fact this book made me smile almost too much.
