The Wall of Winnipeg and Me

Product Information

Then the words were out of my mouth before I could control them. “And you know what I’ll do? I’ll go sneak into bed with you, so ha.” For two years, the man known as The Wall of Winnipeg couldn't find it in him to tell her good morning or congratulate her on her birthday. Now? He's asking for the unthinkable. this was it! I WAS DONE WITH IT THAT SHE KEPT ON TALKING ABOUT HIS BODY IN EACH CHAPTER! So what If he eats a serving for 4 people? It's his money, his food! This book could have been shorter. So much is filler. I get it - it’s slow burn romance. But I would have been so much more engaged had there been more interactions between the characters. Even a hint at romance didn’t start until 60% in! You know, eating crow. As in admitting I erred. Trying to be humble because I made a mistake. Screwed up. Put my foot in my mouth.

The Wall of Winnipeg and Me - Mariana Zapata - Paperback

He shouldn't have apologized for not interacting when it was not his personality! He can be however he wanted, and no one told her to put A LOT of extra effort for him! Her flipping him off again and again was so UNPROFESSIONAL, but no one's gonna talk about that! AIDEN WAS SO RIGHT TO SAY THIS, THAT HE NEEDED AN ASSISTANT, NOT A FRIEND! No one can force friendships 🙂 The Wall of Winnipeg and Me was a seriously addictive slow burn romance. Once I started the audio, I couldn’t stop listening. It was over 16 hours long, but I finished it within 48 hours. There was nothing about this book I didn’t love!

Vanessa Mazur, the girl who makes most of the noise when she is thinking and overanalyzing things. I felt for her. I really did.

The storyline actually started with Vanessa quitting her job to finally start her own business and take time for herself because she spent her 2 years on a job SHE DIDN'T LIKE, and also she didn't like her boss — Aiden! Now, after she has left, Aiden came proposing to her to marry him so that he can get his permanent residency in America. No slow burn romance hits quite the way a Mariana Zapata slow burn romance does, and The Wall of Winnipeg and Me is proof. Maybe you've never had someone care about you like this before or doing something for you, but what If you don't respect that the other person doesn't like that?! Idk It pissed me a little!Possible Triggers: Yes other reader informed me that there was emotional and physical abuse by her family (it’s been ~5 years since I read so I don’t remember) I will say that I did not like Vanessa AT ALL because she seemed angry perpetually, and her introspections were exasperating. Re-read #2 (6/29/2020) I’ve been wanting to re-read this book for a while and now that we are going to have Zac’s book I finally have the perfect excuse to do that! This time I tried the audiobook and it was just so good. let me tell you that a sixteen hours long audiobook is nothing and nearly not enough if you’re enjoying your time. This is still hands down my favorite Mariana Zapata’s book. Zac is such an interesting charismatic character, I’m glad that he’s getting his own book! Maybe you’re used to doing things by yourself, but don’t be an idiot.” He started off calmly, totally in control. “I didn’t know where you were. There’s crime here—don’t give me that face. I know there’s crime everywhere. We might not be doing this for the reasons most people do, but I made a vow, Van. And I promised you we would try to be friends. Friends don’t let friends wander around alone.” He pinned me with a glare. “You aren’t the only one who takes their promises seriously.”

I will miss it more than you'll ever know and I will never forget Aiden & Van and their amazing and beautiful love story for aslong as life. The Wall of Winnipeg stared down at the much smaller man, and in a voice that was as close to a cool, unattached statement as possible, he said, “Touch my wife again, and I’ll break every bone in your goddamn body.” Vanessa was a hysterical spitfire, and Aiden was like this huge, sometimes ( ok – always) grumpy teddy bear you just want to hug. And hump. The character development and the build of the relationship between these two were done perfectly. The characters. I really liked both the hero and the heroine. The character build up was fantastic.to explain my rating, i did enjoy the book.. but will i remember it in a couple of months? probably not. BUT the writing is really good and, again, i don't know how mz did it, but it never felt boring to read aiden's and vanessa's story
