The Wall of Winnipeg and Me
by Mariana Zapata
medium-paced
I’m having such a great reading week. This is my first Mariana Zapata book and I get the fervor. Her writing sounded like my voice and I was locked in from the start. I sacrificed a lot of sleep to finish this book. Vanessa was hilarious and a breath of fresh air. She hated her job as a personal assistant to Aiden, the “wall of Winnipeg” who was a football player. Aiden is a giant robot of a man who pissed me off in the beginning but came around.
In this age of immigration drama the struggle for a person to be a citizen is hard. This was lightly addressed in this story as Vanessa agrees to a marriage of convenience with Aiden so that he can stay in the United States and she can get her debt paid. Frankly, I would do the same thing. There is a lot of grumpy/sunshine in this book and forced proximity. They told me MZ is the queen of slow burn and dear Lord this was the slowest. I was at 90 percent wondering when this was going to happen…
Anyway I loved these characters and their story and want sequels. Maybe a novella. Give me more!
