THE WHOLE EPILOGUE was freaking cuuuuteee!!!! Amos putting ultrasound pictures in his dorm room!!! Plaaseeekfdsöfjdlka my heart!!! 🥺🥺🥺 I was thirty-three years old, and like a tree, I’d lost all of my leaves, so much of what had made me me; but just like a tree, my branches and my roots were still there. And I was being reborn with a whole new set of leaves, bright and green and full of life. So I had to try. " We go through things together, we don’t give up on one another, and not over something like this. Isn’t that right?”

And maybe just a little because I had no clue what the hell to do with my life anymore and that scared the hell out of me. ps. btw is MZ a self-published author?? i hate that her audiobooks dont get released on the same day as her other formats. the relationship between Rhodes and Aurora felt sooo real, open, and honest. the fact that they became friends first and that Rhodes actually waited for Aurora to get settled and feel comfortable with herself?? yes Rhodes, you couldnt be more perfect.and the fact that this book has found family/home trope, small town, a dilf and his cute adorable teenage kid, slowburn (no, like, this is VERY slowburn guys), grumpy/sunshine trope? just- I M M A C U L A T E. Mariana Zaptata is hands down one of my favorite authors. She's the queen of slow burn and every time she releases a new book, I read it straight away. All Rhodes Lead Here was another win for me. I adored Rhodes and Aurora's story. of 5 stars 2 of 5 stars 3 of 5 stars 4 of 5 stars 5 of 5 stars All Rhodes Lead Here by Mariana Zapata As much as I enjoyed these aspects of Aurora’s developing character and the growing relationships between Aurora and her friends, the romance aspect of the book takes more time to develop than normal. Rhodes is a game warden so he’s frequently gone for extended periods of time, so the time in the book where they could be building tension and a relationship — of any sort — is wasted; it takes a while for the characters to even start a budding relationship.

Her good heart, bubbliness and easy smiles make up for it, though, and the connection she has with her dead mom touched me deeply, because their relationship reminded me of the one I had with my grandma, who raised me and who felt more like a mom to me than my own mother ever will. Thanks! I am glad we both agree. I would love for my library to get it on audio. I think listening to it would be fun. I would totally reread it.The book is written with a single pov —Aurora’s— I loved being constantly in her mind throughout the story. Especially when she was drooling over Rhodes at every occasion😭 — I ended up laughing so hard every time cuz Ryohei was absolutely weirded by Ora’s obsession with Rhodes’ muscles.🤣— An other point I loved about this story; we are fully invested —attached to her— in our female protagonist’s life and brain, feelings and the fact that we don’t know what’s going on in Rhodes’ mind and what he’s thinking about and still be absolutely con aurora may be immature, but man, shes hilarious. i cant remember the last time a book made me blow air out of my nose so much. there are so many interactions that left me highly amused. shes also very kind. so i was able to forgive her immaturity.
