That’s why I love and enjoy reading her books. How she writes her stories is just really enchanting and magnetic that the readers quite easily lose themselves into the beat of the story. There’s something in the way Zapata writes sports that translates a world of balls I am not entirely familiar with into palatable and actually delicious bite-sized morsels you just can’t help but gobble it up. I strongly feel that Zapata’s strengths lay in sports romances, like crowd favorites Kulti and The Wall of Winnipeg.

I enjoyed Rhythm, Chord, and Malykin, but I’m trying to find in my brain what that book left in me and I can’t quite recall anything.

I’m sure you’ve encountered on or five of them and guiltily one-clicked new ones that keep on popping up all over the publishing world.) (Rockstar romance is, obviously, what I call romance books that feature singers, bands, and musicians. Surprisingly, Zapata’s new book veers away from the sports romance and rockstar romance genres. 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.īut who needs either one of those? First Impressions Being a grown-up wasn’t supposed to be so hard. How she’s made it through the last two years of her life without killing anyone is nothing short of a miracle. If anyone ever said being an adult was easy, they hadn’t been one long enough.ĭiana Casillas can admit it: she doesn’t know what the hell she’s doing half the time. I should probably subscribe authors’ newsletters. So this un-information felt like a betrayal-if not from me, then the world. And as a huge fan of Mariana Zapata, I screamed and screamed about wtf why didn’t I know she has a new book? It always feels like I exist in two modes: reading a Zapata book and eagerly awaiting for the next one. One morning (just this Thursday) while I was preparing for work, I checked into Goodreads and stumbled upon a review of Wait for It. Wait for It was a book that caught me off-guard, quite literally. Sometimes, it even feels like I’ve lived through her characters’ lives like I was her characters’ friend or family. I’m sure I’m not the only one who feels as if a huge chunk of their lives has been sucked in by her books after finishing them. There’s something about Mariana Zapata books that always, always hooks me in.
