Why read it?
1 author picked My Sergei as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
Though this book is technically not a young adult title, it’s one that young adult figure skating fans will enjoy. Ekaterina Gordeeva and Sergei Grinkov are the classic real-life romance story when it comes to pair skating. When I first started drafting my own book, I had a romance like theirs in mind.

From Katie's list on figure skating that won’t make skaters cringe.
