🥰🥰 I love Diana and Dallas. She’s so strong and caring and I love her relationship with Josh and Louie. The kids are so sweet and funny. Dallas was so good with them and I enjoyed watching him grow closer to the whole family. MZ is such a slowburn master. This had so many swoony and heartfelt moments that mad me smile. 
I also loved the little cameos from characters from The Wall of Winnipeg and Me, Kulti, and Under Locke!

Super cute story and Dallas really grew on me! Normally don’t like stories revolving around kids, but Josh and Louie added a lot to the story

Overall, this was a read I was really looking forward to but was a bit disappointed with the plot. Don’t get me wrong, I enjoyed reading and found myself wanting to continue even in spots I found a bit slow, but in my opinion, the plot is not very strong and the characters have some problematic tendencies that may stray you away from reading this. Give it a shot if this has been on your TBR for a while, but other than that I don’t highly recommend.

i have just been informed that Mariana Zapata is racist therefore I am removing all the ratings I have for her books and will no longer be supporting her.
