All Rhodes Lead Here is the most chronologically recent release in the Zapataverse. It follows Aurora and Rhodes as they navigate sort of cohabitation when Rhodes' son secretly leases out their apartment. All Aurora wants to do is get away, get away from her flopped relationship and get closer to the mother she lost so many years ago. And if she has to live in the apartment of a man who couldn't want her around less, so be it.
I think this book had so many unique elements. It felt different from Mariana Zapata's other books, probably because it was one of the few not set in Texas. Plus the characters were a tad older than they usually are and I think you feel that maturity. I loved Aurora's relationship with Rhodes' son it was so wholesome and built on such a mutual love and respect. And I also loved how special the whole family dynamic was, I haven't seen anything like it before.
My only issue was the pacing of the big reveal. It felt the last forty pages were simultaneously too long and too short. The rest of the book was perfect, but the very end dragged. Other than that, it's an easy five stars and I will forever be obsessed with Mariana Zapata.
