![]() ![]() And then on page 256 Jasmine is having a really hard time after her mother is involved in a car accident and doesn’t call her. In the most blatant attempt at getting invited for dinner. Almost exactly 200 pages into the book Ivan asks, “Can I use your bathroom?”while dropping Jasmin off at home. I could tell Zapata was setting up the romance factor. ![]() I LOVE slow burns, but the lack of romantic tension in the story led me to question if this was actually a romance book more than once-and no, that is NOT a good sign. Kind of like if people tried to push Rey and Kylo Ren together… Oh wait, THEY ALREADY HAVE. It’s a little like the equivalent of pushing two characters together when they act much more like siblings or very close friends. And I know what you’re thinking “slow burn” but there’s a difference between slow burn, and leaving the romantic tension out a book until the last 200 pages or so. It felt like a book about figure skating that also ended up with a 5 minute romance thrown in at the end. ![]() I think there’s a lot of things that this book is, but a romance book? I would probably say not. This felt like a look at the kind of dedication it takes to be great at something. ![]()
