After two years, Vanessa has had enough of Aiden “The Wall of Winnipeg” Graves. For a while now, she’s thought about quitting her job. She knows it isn’t the best idea. After all, she knows how many people would give to have her job - being an assistant/housekeeper for the best defensive in the NFO isn’t an easy job to find. But as much as this job is helping her, she can’t continue putting her dreams of graphic design and starting her own business behind. So when she tells her boss, Aiden, that she is quitting, she at least expected him to feel bad, to ask why or give some sort of feeling, but after seeing nothing, Vanessa knows she’s making the right decision. Especially when he never says “Thank you”. Never. Not even when you put chocolate on his clean pillow. Or you delay your dreams only to be his servant. I devoured every scene but I think it wouldn't jeopardize the plot if some scenes were taken out. I wished the author would try to simplify it more. Although with long chapters, the characters and the romance are undeniably written in a full-fledged; which I should credit the author for. I've come to love both of their flaws and strengths as well as how the romance develop between the two. I had a temper. I got angry easily. But I had made myself learn how to control it. I had decided early on that I wasn’t going to let that emotion define me. I wanted to be better. I wanted to be a good person. I wanted to be someone—not necessarily someone great or someone important—but someone I could live with.”

Overall Opinion: This was ok. I know I'm the minority here, but I didn't find their connection all that moving. I honestly felt like it was one sided through the whole story and I just didn't get the swooning feeling that I think I was supposed to feel when he finally confessed his love at the end. I didn't find him all that likeable either. I wouldn't say that she was a doormat (thank goodness), but she definitely needs to be nominated for sainthood with all the crap she dealt with. With all of that and the fact that it was super slow, I would call this a "just ok" 3 stars. However, I don't think I could put it past me on the book's length. I had no idea that when they said the book is a slow burn, it's literally the slowest slow burn I've come across. It was painfully slow and unnecessary long which is why I couldn't find myself loving it as much as I wanted to. 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.” The expression on his face was like he was torn between being okay with the idea and being completely against it.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 🙂

I wasn’t about to waste my life away, upset, because I was raised by people who couldn’t commit to anything in their lives. All they did was show me the kind of person I didn’t want to be. I don’t know man, but small things like that have me screaming by how wholesome it is. My heart is just wrapped in a heart shaped warm blanket during those moments. Romance Billionaire Romance Erotic Young Adult Crime Fantasy Vampires Science Fiction Thriller Horror Classics Suspense i loved vanessa‘s relationship with zac and diana, the whole book in general just was so realistic & relatable 🤌🏼 Because that was the way surprises worked—they didn’t tend to pencil themselves in to your schedule and let you know they were visiting ahead of time.”PDF / EPUB File Name: The_Wall_of_Winnipeg_and_Me_-_Mariana_Zapata.pdf, The_Wall_of_Winnipeg_and_Me_-_Mariana_Zapata.epub 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! they were both so understanding towards each other, he got her nightlights because she's scared of the dark and SHE GOT HIM A PUPPY 🥹 and can we talk about how oblivious this man is, or at least he pretends to be, i loved how women flirted with him right in front of vanessa and he just goes "she's my wife" 👏🏼 Re-read #2 (6/29/2020) I’ve been wanting to re-read this I know, Van.” His thumb massaged me again for all of about three seconds. “You know more about me than anyone else does.”
