Summary

If anyone ever said being an adult was easy, they hadn't been one long enough. Diana Casillas can admit it: she doesn't know what the hell she's doing half the time. How she's made it through the last two years of her life without killing anyone is nothing short of a miracle. Being a grown-up wasn't supposed to be so hard. With a new house, two little boys she inherited in the most painful possible way, a giant dog, a job she usually loves, more than enough family, and friends, she has almost everything she could ever ask for. Except for a boyfriend. Or a husband. But who needs either one of those?

Heartwarming and quirky

I loved the usual slow burn of this author's style.

This is the story of Diana (who we first met in Wall of Winnipeg), who is a single woman who has her two young nephews thrust in to her life under tragic circumstances. Be prepared to cry, a lot! And to scratch your head (you'll understand what I mean when you read the book!)
This story has a cast of wonderful, quirky characters and, although this is not a cliffhanger, there is the potential to carry these characters over into another story. We do actually meet some of the characters from previous stories, which is a nice touch.
The narrator is wonderful, and is good at an array of characters including older people, men and children's voices.
I truly loved this book

Another hit !

I honestly can not wait for the next book by this author. The story folds out over time holding you gripped just waiting for that happy ending.

great read.

everybody can relate to the tales about family in this amazingly touching, funny, great slow burn love story that happen around a great tale of family life. I will read it again just for the moments with Louis and Josh, the 2 young boys. Motherhood through Diana's eyes is brutally honest and laugh out loud. Add into that the usual strong cast of secondary characters that Mariana Zapata always takes time, and pages on, this is a book that I couldn't stop reading and I know I will read it again and find even more things to love.

Superb

I love Mariana Zapata's books and this follow on from The Wall of Winnipeg is brilliant. Excellent and poignant and beautifully read. Worth buying you will not regret. Dallas and Diana's story is superb!!

Agonisingly slow burn

I’m not usually a fan of slow burn (I’m impatient) but MZ is the one I make an exception for as the stories are so well written there’s always lots going on to keep me occupied whilst the two main characters dance around each other and get their act together.

This though was agonisingly slow, and even though I enjoyed the listen (Callie Dalton doing a wonderful job as always), I felt that this one was a wee bit dragged out even for MZ hence the four stars.

We first met Dianna in Wall of Winnipeg; she is the bff of Vanessa, and had rather a torrid time in WoW. We meet her a few years later, as a single parent bringing up her brother’s two boys after her brother’s death. Dallas is the taciturn, grumpy, rude, technically married, neighbour across the road, who jumps to all sorts of conclusions about Diana’s intentions, before they become friends and eventually more. There are a host of entertaining side characters, including the “mean girl”, friends, over critical mum, and of course the two boys who both are just gorgeous. We even get a few cameo appearances including Vanessa and Aiden from Wall of Winnipeg, Trip, Iris and an uncredited Dex (my favourite) from Under Locke and Sal and Kulti from Kulti.

If you can cope with the agonising slowness of the burn the it’s definite worth a credit.

Love This!

I am not usually a slow burn girly but Mariana Zapatas books just work for me and have quickly become comfort reads of mine. I just love how she develops the relationships between her MCs. This is one of my favourites of hers for sure.

Beautiful

I reviewed this book after my first listening. I thought the narrator did a great job. the book was slow but I liked it..... That just won't do... I absolutely love this book. I ve listened to it numerous times since. Callie Dalton is amazing. The interactions especially with the children are hillarious and so so heartwarming. I love the book so much. Thank you Mariana and Callie. ♡

Slow burn at it’s finest

Great story line, just enough to keep you going back for more, another amazing book from the queen of a slow burn

FIVE STARS ALL ROUND!

I just loved this book, another superb one from Mariana Zapata! She has fast become one of my favourite authors.
Callie Dalton does an exceptionally brilliant job of narrating and bringing the characters to life.
Would give this MORE than five stars if I could.

Great listen

This book is fab! It’s less steamy than some of MZ’s other books, which is fine, because the story is so well developed. The slow burn is veryyyyyyyy slow, literally not until the final chapters, but it’s done really well and fitting to the characters.
