Are you Team Brayden or Team Freddie?

Adriana Russo’s dream is to conquer the figure skating Junior World Championships. But with her family’s ice-skating rink facing financial ruin, allowing cameras to film their every move is the only thing keeping that dream alive.

Then her new dance partner, Brayden, sparks an idea that could turn them into stars: let the world believe their on-ice chemistry is real. But as Adriana begins to fall for Brayden, Freddie – her former partner and first crush – skates back into her life.

Will Adriana claim her place on the podium or will she follow her heart?

Reviews

I admit to a time when seeing books become tv programmes and series was not a joy for me. I want to keep stories I have read and loved close to my heart and secure in my imagination. But I understand now how important it can be for encouraging reading, for helping people find a love of books. This book and Netflix series should do just that . . .

'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.'
