Wait for It

rating-3.5/5

I loved the book but didn't really see any connection between Dallas and Diana until about the 45-50% mark. I just saw an overly helpful neighbour and a very, in-her-head woman trying to raise her nephews; both living their individual lives for the first half of the book. It did start to get better once you could see that he did really like her through the little things he did. (I know, I know. I've to get used to MZ's slowburns still, clearlyy).
But I did think that both the character's feelings were pretty hard to decipher in Diana's pov because of how the boys's and their upbringing was her primary focus. Parenting as a single parent, living with grief, divorce, family dynamics and multiple other things were also given a lot of focus throughout the story; which wasn't necessarily a bad thing, because I'm pretty sure I'd be bored reading a 600 page book, otherwise.
I do wish there was better resolution to multiple things like Dallas's brother, tension with Diana's mother, Nana pearl's comments etcetc; but I loved the book otherwise. Josh and Lou have my entire heart <3

I read this before ‘The Wall of Winnipeg and me' T_T and thus couldn't appreciate the cameos more, but that's on my priority tbr now. (as soon as i am in the mood for a slowburn, i promise.)
