You'll love this one...!! A book club & more discussion

Nistha and I are reading Hands Down by Mariana Zapata. Feel free to join :)

I needed something to listen to at work, so started today :)

I can't believe this is the only book of hers I have left

Chapters 1-15

(view spoiler)[This one is also such a fast listen for me, and I'm really enjoying it. The only thing I don't really like is when he calls her "kiddo", that's a bit eww.
Really intrigued to find out why they both thought they had texted each other but somehow it didn't get through. Possibly the cousin?
Excited to see where the book takes us next, but I won't continue to listen until tomorrow, since I want to savour my last MZ book a bit more. (hide spoiler)]

Oh no! Its your last - you should do a ranking. I have started this one but going through it a bit slowly. Already saw you rated it 5 star so its great again I guess.

I have finished till chapter 5 (view spoiler)[ nothing monumental happened so far but I do want to know the reason why they stopped communicating. Also intrigues why they don't like Boogie's fiancé (hide spoiler)]

I haven't had the time to give my final thoughts yet but will do so hopefully today :)

I'll do a ranking for sure!

Very excited to hear what you think :)

Final thoughts:

(view spoiler)[This one was soooo cute! I really loved their dynamic, even though I still can't get over the "kiddo" thing.
I'm so sad that this was my last one, she really needs to publish her next book asap.
In this one, I also loved the side characters more than in other books. I wish I had had the time to give you my thoughts sooner because I forgot a bit of it already haha (hide spoiler)]

My official ranking (please keep in mind I rated all of them 5 stars haha)

1. From Lukov with Love
2. Luna and the Lie
3. Dear Aaron
4. The Best Thing
5. Under Locke
6. Hands Down
7. All Rhodes Lead Here
8. The Wall of Winnipeg and Me
9. Kulti
10. Lingus
11. Wait For It
12. When Gracie Met the Grump
13. Rhythm, Chord & Malykhin

I just finished chapter 15 - the one where they end up together in the hotel. It was so romantic.

Definitely! I hope you love the book :)

I finished reading it and I really liked it! Another 5 star from MZ. Friends to lovers is one of my fave genres.

(view spoiler)[ I agree with you; the "Kiddo" is a bit weird but I got over it haha. The chemistry was amazing and as always you can feel they are in love since a long time. This was a very very cute romance. I loved the ending of Tiny Texas (Big Texas and Little Texas) - I hope they have many Tiny Texas! (hide spoiler)]
