A review by venetiana
Wait for It by Mariana Zapata

emotional lighthearted slow-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? Character
• Strong character development? It's complicated
• Loveable characters? Yes
• Diverse cast of characters? No
• Flaws of characters a main focus? Yes

3.0

The slow burn is good. But there's also some toxic/red flag behaviour which really didn't need to be there (it literally didn't need to be part of the plot, this was used for accentuating loyalty).

[The author also (afaik) appropriates the term "spirit animal" and I'm not sure how far the lines are blurred concerning colloquialisms. Some expressions rubbed me the wrong way.]
