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.
