The Wall of Winnipeg and Me is a slow build romance. It started a bit on the boring side for me but I stuck with it and I'm really glad I did. It is a really sweet story. I enjoyed watching Aiden and Vanessa's relationship grow and evolve. I really liked the character development and loved the supporting character Zach as well. I feel like the book could have continued on even longer and I would have still enjoyed seeing the life they all created together. 
 After about 10-15% in, it really is a solid book and an enjoyable read. Overall, I give The Wall of Winnipeg and Me 4 stars but there is a catch. I would give the story itself 3 - 3.5 stars, but the fact that the main character was vegan and an athlete scores tons of points with me and I bumped it up to 4 stars.
