A swoony YA sports romance filled with fake dating drama, reality show rumours and a love triangle that's heating up on and off the ice. Perfect for fans of Lynn Painter and Jenny Han.
Adriana Russo is figure skating royalty, born to gold-medalist parents and an equally talented sister. Adriana's dream? To conquer the Junior World Championships and uphold the family legacy. But when the family's legendary skating rink faces financial ruin, everything she's worked for is at risk.
Training with her new partner, Brayden, sparks an idea: let the world believe their on-ice chemistry isn't only for show. The fake-dating gains traction, and Adriana realizes maybe she actually is falling for Brayden. But then her past crashes into her present and changes everything, when Freddie, her former partner-and first crush-reenters the scene.
As the biggest competition of her life draws closer and her family's legacy hangs in the balance, Adriana is torn between the future she's worked so hard for with Brayden, and the one she gave up long ago with Freddie. Will she find her edge and claim her place at the top, or will her heart lead her in a different direction?
MEDIA REVIEWS
'Just in time for the Winter Olympics, Iacopelli's Y.A. twist on Jane Austen's "Persuasion," set in the world of figure skating, hits the screen. The new series, like the book, focuses on Adriana Russo, an ice dancer from a skating dynasty who finds herself juggling the pressures of her parents' legacy, a fake relationship and the tender heartbreak of her former partner, and first love, who is suddenly back in her life as she vies for a spot at the Junior Olympic Games.' - Jennifer Harlan, The New York Times
