And another one bites the dust...

This is my third Mariana Zapata book of the year (and third in a row), I have been on a major Mariana Zapata hype as I have just fallen in love with the characters and storylines she crafts. I was admittedly disappointed after Under Locke which I found massively troubling at times in the archetypes she created for her characters. However, Wait for It was a redeeming moment for Zapata and one I thoroughly enjoyed.

Wait for It had way more emotion and heart-string-tugging than I was expecting, which was absent from both The Wall of Winnipeg and Me and Under Locke for me. This helped this book to craft a better dynamic between the emotion, romance and humour that Zapata crafts in her storylines. This one was so much more than a romance-focused book, it was about family and the traumas family can go through in a way that I don't think I got from Zapata's other books. I absolutely fell in love with Di, Louie and Josh. The support and closeness between them all tugged at my heart-strings and had me near tears so many times throughout the whole book. I've seen a few 'single-parent' storylines across various films/tv/books etc and they always manage to get to me as you see how the 'parent' of the family puts everything on the line for their children. This was absolutely my favourite part of the book, when they had their moments of teasing and their raw emotional outpourings to each other. It was so heartfelt and genuine that I could not help but love it.

In all honesty, I would have been more than happy to just read a whole book about their family and the struggles that they went through. The romance for me was good in this, but definitely secondary in the grand scheme of the plotline.

Overall, I really enjoyed this one and will be picking up another Zapata book soon for sure as I just cannot get enough of her right now!
