However, confused feelings and ambiguous banter arise between the two, and Jasmine doesn’t know how to deal with the possible romantic interest blooming.

After hearing such positive reviews about “From Lukov with Love” written by Mariana Zapata, I decided to read it and it soon became one of my favorite books.
