With a new house, two little boys she inherited 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. Diana Casillas can admit it: she doesnt know what the hell shes doing half the. Being a grown-up wasn't supposed to be so hard. If anyone ever said being an adult was easy, they hadnt been one long enough. 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. I crave the beautiful slow burn romance that’s full of life and love.If anyone ever said being an adult was easy, they hadn't been one long enough. This is my current second favorite and I am now finding myself want to deep-dive into all of these books. I found myself intensely invested in the emotions of this story. I love this mashed up family unit that made my heart burst. I found myself laughing at the intricacies of life and the stellar comebacks that came out of those kids mouths. And of course I’m going to mention Josh and Lou too, BECAUSE THEY WERE ADORABLE. And wow did I love Diana!! She was incredibly strong and brave, facing an uncertain future and trying to do the best by her nephews. I appreciated the way Dallas handled his own situations while reaching out a hand to Diana.

This book was the epitome of it’s title with the way Dallas and Diana moved in each other’s orbits. Many casual run-ins and helping each other out leads to love y’all. I love the neighbor trope!! Another trope I didn’t know I enjoyed so much. I am reallllly loving the way the plot moves and gives a longer timeline that by the end has you satisfied that every end is finished. The story starts with Diana, a mother of two kids, moving into a new neighborhood. The romance happens organically with well-defined characters that I fell in love with myself. Zapata goes deep with her characters, building the story slowly but deftly. Reading my third Zapata book it really hit that I might have liked The Wall of Winnipeg and Me more if I had fully grasped the way that these stories are constructed. I just finished reading Wait for It, by Mariana Zapata, and I recommend it highly.
