The Wall of Winnipeg and Me by Mariana Zapata
5.0

 "I'm starting to understand that you can always make time for things that matter"

This book was so good that I ended up staying up until 1:30am two nights in a row reading it! I honestly was so excited for this book but I thought, nah, it’s going to drag because it’s almost 700 pages, but NOPE, I was hooked from page 1.

“I like you as much as I like anyone”

I found Aiden refreshing. He showed his emotions so subtly but when you caught on it was profound. He was a quiet loner who preferred alone time to partying and drinking, which is what the majority of sports romance men do.

I didn’t look into the book before I bought it so the
fake marriage
was a complete surprise to me and I was LIVING for it! It’s one of my favourite tropes!

The humour was perfection. Aiden was dead-panned and Vanessa gave back just as much. Ugh, just thinking about some of the lines have me snickering like a weirdo.

““Did you just call me Muffin?”
He looked at me. His blink was so delayed, I started thinking maybe I imagined it. “I figured it was too soon to call you Dinner Roll”
”

Miranda. That in itself was gold.

Her family…HER FAMILY made me want to chuck the book across the room!! How??? What?? I hate them. His parents too, but HER FAMILY – DEMONS THE LOT OF THEM.

Okay, I’m going to end this here. I have so many cute and funny quotes tabbed but you don’t need a list of that (Do you??). Leo was the star of the show at the end.

I still don’t like when authors throw in a
sprinkle of baby
in the epilogue, but all romance authors seem to do it.
