From Lukov with Love by Mariana Zapata
adventurous
funny
slow-paced
- Plot- or character-driven? Character
- Strong character development? It's complicated
- Loveable characters? It's complicated
- Diverse cast of characters? It's complicated
- Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated
3.75
This was SUCH a slow burn.
It took more than 5/6 of the book before the characters expressed romantic feelings for one another.
The few issues I have with this are:
I needed more Karina!
And I had issues with the banter.
I get the flirtatious insults, but I draw the line at body-shaming somebody. Lukov body-shamed Jas, especially in figure skating, which has such a high chance of EDs, and I found that to be so incredibly toxic.
Ivan, we were going so well until you said that ;-;
So yeah
Its a good figure skating enemies-to-lovers slow burn
