Of the Bookshelf| Wait for it


Life can change in a blink of an eye and Diana Casillas is a true representation of that. After losing his brother in a car accident, her life changes as she now has to take care of two little kids, change neighborhoods and be all by herself for the first time ever.
But they also say that when one door closes another opens and maybe that's what happens when one of her nephews is waken up by noise coming from his neighbor's house, after defending him, she then realises that the real neighbor may be one to look out for, as his resting b*tch face may be coming around often.
What I liked:

  • The slow burn was one of the mains aspects of this book, there's no rush, there's no fast love, they hit and miss throughout the whole book.
  • The kids were a main aspect in the book and there's something to truly love about it, it's not often that you see a book with a single mum in which kids are named every chapter. She worried about them and learned to handle everything around them.
  • The realness of it, because she struggles, she has bad days and two boys to support, but at the end she always finds the strength to keep on going (with a bit of help from Dallas and his parents, at the end she's not superwoman).
What I didn't like:
  • The lack of Dallas was real, I wish we could have seen or known a tiny bit more of him, he seemed really sweet, yet tough and manly. He's the kind of man everyone dreams of having, with a bit of past and pain behind him. 
It's an amazing book if you are up for slow burns and not so soppy books, it contains a sense of realness in the struggle that Diana goes through becoming a single mum and missing his brother. This is a gem, for me it's a 4 out of 5.
