From Lukov with Love

“You suck.”
“You suck even more.”

I loved From Lukov with Love so much. Their gradual hate-to-love relationship was realistic and didn't feel forced. It definitely felt like Ivan loved Jasmine from the very start though. Every time one of them called the other their best friend I wanted to scream because it was so cute.

I liked that they were so similar but they also evened each other out. Jasmine was, putting it mildly, stubborn and hot-headed. Ivan was calm and cool– unless he was with Jasmine then he was Satan. I enjoyed seeing how competitive ice skating was and how much work it took to be great at it (it's also one of my favourite Olympic sports). Their banter was so funny and I loved how honest they were with each other.

Their families! Aaaah they were so kind and supportive. I love big families. But there was also a bit of drama there. I really felt for Jasmine's anger towards her dad.

Ivan was an adorable sweetheart with a cold exterior. Now that I think about it... so was Jasmine.
