Who doesn’t love a well done, well written, well thought of slow burn romance? Me? I love those. And The Wall of Winnipeg and Me is exactly that. 

I don’t even know where to begin when I say I love the characters. This story is a highly character driven story, I would say and I do love how their personalities so lowly matched and became so compatible. And I mean, Aiden’s words are just so dreamy ng unreal that I couldn’t help but just swoooooon. And of course, Vanessa. I love her character. She’s one of the strongest female character I’ve read. I love her grit and how she sticks to her principles. We should all learn from her really. Let’s not forget our lovable Zach and badass Diane! 

The only reason this wasn’t a full rating from me was because of the thickness of this book. And although this is a slow burn, which I thoroughly enjoyed, it was quick a tough and sorta long read to get through the monstrosity of a book. I also personally would’ve loved a bit more background plot revolving around the characters. There was already but it was kinda lacking for me. Nevertheless, this book is stellar!! Definitely will be reading a lot more Mariana Zapata books.
