I understand that entrusting children with someone else is a delicate issue however, more often than not, the child isn't even a character in the story. The main obstacle these two have to hurdle is the mother's trust issues when it comes to her children. Many books that follow this trope use the children as a convenient plot device to keep the heroine and the hero apart. When it comes to “single mom romances”, I always have reservations.
And with that new neighborhood, comes a new neighbor, Dallas, who is tall, dark, and handsome…and just happens to be Josh's new baseball coach. The book begins a few years into her guardianship and starts with their move into a new home and neighborhood. Wait For It is the story of Diana who, after the tragic death of her brother and his wife, finds herself the new guardian of her two young nephews, Josh and Louie. I crave the beautiful slow burn romance that’s full of life and love.Mariana Zapata's Wait For It is by far the best example of the single mom trope I have read. 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.
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.
