My Opinion:
I only have one thing to say: Dallas has my heart. That's it, that's my review.
Okay, this is a slow burn! I wanted to enter MZCU (Mariana Zapata Cinematographic Universe) in order of release, but thanks to my challenge (Check my Reels), I managed to read this as my second book by her and I liked it much more than 'Under Locke'.
I found the 'Slice of Life' narrative interesting and how you can see the friendship and tension growing little by little, but there were times when I wasn't very interesting in every detail of their lives. Besides being very long, I love how she shows us their relationship and struggles as a Family, her as a new mother, dealing with the Family's drama as everyone tries to overcome their traumas. The writing built everything effortlessly and the reading was a lot of fun.
Yes, there is a lot of swearing, but not on every page and somehow the story felt more important and I could care a lot about them and less about the language (but if you are sensitive to this, you have been warned).
I love how Diana is a strong and independent woman and I loved Dallas. I've said before that a good Grumpy/Sunshine needs a good reason and they both had it. Dallas isn't rude, just reserved, but he's a sweetheart and I completely loved how well he treats everyone (who deserves it, of course).
I hope I can like next books from the author.
