A review by jennrobyn
The Wall of Winnipeg and Me by Mariana Zapata
3.0
This was not it for me. I would’ve DNF’d had I not been convinced it would give me some of what I was looking for.
Ringing it at just over 500 pages, this book was 480ish pages of ultimate slow burn. Mixed with an MC who literally couldn’t believe in herself if it slapped her in the face, continually expressed her frustration by saying she wanted to stick her fingers up peoples noses and constantly used the pet name “big guy”.
There were so many cringe moments for me, including the 8763512 times the word “idiot” was used. Sometimes it was out of anger, which is gross, sometimes it was used as a term of endearment, which was grosser.
One smouldering sex scene was slightly redemptive, except I never want to here a penis referred to as a pipe again.
Huge disappointment. Moving on.
