Warning: the slowest of slow burns. This is my first Mariana Zapata book and I kind of heard slow burn was her thing, but I didn’t expect it to take 3/4 of the (quite long) book to get there. Despite this element, it was a lovely story about hope and perseverance and following your dreams, and how the right support makes all the difference. I enjoyed the development of their relationship (enemies to friends to lovers) and seeing Ivan break down Jasmine’s walls so she could shine. Ivan- man that guy is good stuff!!
