All Rhodes Lead Here by Mariana Zapata
relaxing

- Plot- or character-driven? Character
4.0
This book has invoked an irresistible feeling in me: to move to a small town surrounded by nature and start a new life. Perhaps due to this current phase in my life, I enjoyed the book a bit more as it involved lots of outdoor activities, making new friends, learning, and discovering new things.
The setting and plot are so dreamy yet believable. The main characters are written beautifully, instantly making you fall in love with them and rooting for them. It's a breath of fresh air to read a romance that develops naturally out of physical interactions.
However, the book is really slow-paced. Although I enjoy slow-burn romance, this felt a bit long. One more annoying thing I felt about Zapata's writing is that she kept referring to the characters with noun phrases rather than just mentioning their names. Although I liked it initially, it became so repetitive that it started irritating me.
A decent read ... Would like to read more from the author ...
