The book tells the story of Jasmine Santos, a 29-year-old woman who grew up figure skating at the Lukov Ice and Sports Complex. They know it as “the ice skating book” or “the book that ruined my life.” I made my friend Hannah, who was a real figure skater, take me figure skating twice because I was convinced after reading the book I would be able to take on the skills I read about. My friends all know this book because it was the primary topic of my life in the year 2022. Then, I continued to talk my friends’ ears off about this book for the following year. I finished the book before waking up for my 9 a.m. The majority of it on Sunday between the hours of 6 p.m. I read the entire 538 page book between Saturday and Sunday. I had been wanting to read it for a while, but decided that this weekend would be the perfect time, since I knew the book had to do with figure skaters and not only was this a snowy week inside, but it was also the opening ceremony of the Winter Olympic Games. The book is called “From Lukov with Love” by Mariana Zapata. Since it was the first weekend of school, I didn’t have a lot of homework, so I decided to take home a book I had been meaning to read for a while. The weekend of the blizzard I went home to spend time with my dog and help my parents shovel. Maybe you remember it, maybe you don’t, but I certainly do. Last year, this very week, Rhode Island and the rest of the North East was hit with a massive blizzard. “The book that ruined my life.” PHOTO CREDIT: Maddie Bataille | Photo Editor
