Hands Down by Mariana Zapata
4.0

3.9/5⭐

Always been curious about Zac from the time I read The wall of winnipeg and me.
I knew he was a sweetheart through and through.

I loved the book and found myself relates to Bianca on so many occasions. The way she always feels left out, as if she doesn’t quite belong, constantly worries about being an inconvenience to others, or downplays her own achievements and her urge to apologize for even the smallest things. I loved her.

Misunderstanding trope served so good. One miscommunication cost them 10 years of each other's life. I love how Zac always paid attention to every little detail and noticed her true feelings behind the fake smiles. 
I loved the way he took the initiative to clear the misunderstanding instead of letting it linger. He didn’t let her pretend everything was okay, and instead, he faced it head-on. The effort he put into making up for the time they lost because of the misunderstanding was so heartfelt and genuine.

I absolutely loved the yearning and longing. The tension of unspoken feelings She had for him and truly believed he only saw her as a sister or a kid, even when her heart hoped for more.

Zac struggling to make his name again in the sport and proving himself was so emotional and heartfelt to read. 

And ofcourse the best thing was knowing AIDEN GRAVES IS FINALLY A GIRL DAD. And reading all the AidenVan crumbs.
