Is Finding Her Edge based on a book?
Yes, as we mentioned earlier, Finding Her Edge is based on the young adult novel by Jennifer Iacopelli, which first hit shelves in February 2022 and is now available in paperback. Here’s a book synopsis provided to press by Penguin Young Readers, which may give you a bit more insight into the plot of the series:
Adriana Russo is figure skating royalty, born to gold-medalist parents and an equally talented sister. Adriana’s dream? To conquer the Junior World Championships and uphold the family legacy. But when the family’s legendary skating rink faces financial ruin, everything she’s worked for is at risk.
Training with her new partner, Brayden, sparks an idea: Let the world believe their on-ice chemistry isn’t only for show. The fake-dating gains traction, and Adriana realizes maybe she actually is falling for Brayden. But then her past crashes into her present and changes everything when Freddie, her former partner—and first crush—reenters the scene.
As the biggest competition of her life draws closer and her family’s legacy hangs in the balance, Adriana is torn between the future she’s worked so hard for with Brayden, and the one she gave up long ago with Freddie. Will she find her edge and claim her place at the top, or will her heart lead her in a different direction?
