3.0

Tried this as an e-book and had to dnf but as an audiobook this was pretty enjoyable.

Pros: girl-failure representation; save me pretty, rich figure skater save me; no third act break up

Cons: there’s no way they are 26 and 30; sometimes weird comments about Jasmine’s body (couldn’t stand the nickname „meatball“); would have liked to see Ivan struggle a bit; only told not shown that they won; Paul was underused (+Mary); family dynamic was inconsistent at times
