For those who loved The Wall of Winnipeg, I don't think you'll be disappointed in how Mariana ties up Zac's story in the best way possible! I think there were a couple icks ( their age gap is like 27/34 and they call each other "kiddo" and "old man" which is just... nah) but other than that it was pretty nice. 

I saw another reviewer say they thought the romantic aspect was lacking and it seemed kind of platonic, which I think could be fairly accurate but I chose to try to envision the relationship as more tense lol. There were a lot of cutesy scenes, nothing screaming sexual tension but just like kicking your feet a little. Definitely a slowww burn 

And the fmc is really... clueless honestly, so it might be a source of annoyance. Other than those minor things, I really enjoyed it and enjoyed the Vanessa and Aiden cameo.
