Hands Down
by Mariana Zapata
"I wasn’t going to hold it against him that he didn’t feel for me the way I wanted him to. It wasn’t his fault. I wanted to think it wasn’t mine either. You try not to fall in love with Zac."
'Hands Down' may be the slowest slow-burn book I've ever read. I'm talking frostbite and freezer burn from the glacial pace this relationship moves at, but glaciers are beautiful and increasingly rare. This is truly a best friends to lovers romance, and readers get to witness months of Zac and Bianca rekindling their friendship and healing their hearts before the relationship turns romantic.
I enjoyed reading more about Zac a.k.a. "Big Texas" (who we met in The Wall of Winnipeg and Me) as he finds his happily ever after with Bianca. The circumstances that led to these characters losing touch and spending a decade apart hurt my heart. The way they went on living their lives, chasing their dreams, and found each other again, in turn, made my heart happy again.
Bianca, in spite of the heartbreak of her past and all of her insecurities is such an empathetic person with emotional intelligence that seems off the charts. She's a well of support for those around her. I mean, heck, even Trevor likes her.
"He deserved all of it. He had motivated me to follow my own heart, even if my dream was about one-hundredth the size of his. But if every person weighed their dream against someone else’s, nobody would ever dream at all."
