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 *
