Can we begin with how sweet Ivan was to Jasmine? He's cold as ice but ALL THE LITTLE THINGS HE DID FOR HER MAKES ME MELT; how he lit her up, makes her believe she inspires people, takes care of her when she was sicks and secretly knows all her favorites. If i can 3D print Ivan Lukov, I WOULD.
And Jasmine Santos, ugh I admire how hardworking she is and how she always believes in herself. She's both funny and sarcastic at the same time but not gonna lie tho there are some times when she’s being too bitchy but duh aren’t we all?
The other characters somehow are also important to the story. i wanna see more of jasmine's family, they're chaotic especially their group chat lol but also really fun and they're very supportive?!?
The slow burn was... well, very slow, but it was worth it. If you're impatient I won't really recommend you to read this. But their chemistry? Top tier, I love how they let the hate tension and banter stay after they get together, the romance tension and bickering is just the perfect amount. And I can't stop thinking about the anatomy issue, I NEED IVAN'S POV IN THAT SCENE PLEASE!!
I can see why people hype it so much, this book doesn't disappoint me as my first MZ book. Ivan Lukov is the perfect book boyfriend literally giving my hand in marriage for him🌹💍
