I have never felt more seen as a reader. I know, I know, there are A-LOT of authors out there that are able to conjure a character that looks like us all and reminds us of ourselves. HOWEVER, Van was just this perfect little combination of every niche imaginable and I loved her. As always with these kitschy romance novels the ending felt rushed but in this case it was okay because we were teased with a slow burn the whole damn time. The characters mesh well with one another and the prose is easy to read, I’d recommend it to someone who was a fan of these kinds of books for sure. I also see myself reading more from Zapata in the near future.

I’m so disappointed in this book, I had such high hopes. I’ve seen so many people rave about it and the new cover is freaking adorable. But this easily could’ve been 100-150 pages shorter. 

The traumatic backstories for both main characters was over the top and with not much payoff for suffering through reading about it. 

There were so many opportunities for the main characters to connect and realize their feelings for each other but then we’d get a cut scene and then it would suddenly be a week later with no progress in their relationship. It also felt like “wait until marriage” was the underlying message here, even though that’s never outwardly said. 

There’s also only so much broody-ness I can handle. Aiden is a complete emotional wall. I mean, I get he’s the wall of Winnipeg but this was a lot. He gives absolutely nothing to Vanessa until she’s threatened or encroached upon in some way and even then he’s rounding it out by telling her to “shut up”. 

I wish I had known more about this so I could’ve DNF’d, but then I had gotten too far and had to see it through to figure out what all the hype was about. I still don’t get it.
