Super cute...funny...getting good! I can’t wait to read the full novel! I’m building a relationship with the characters and am beginning to become invested in the story. I didn’t want it to end yet!

The free preview definitely made me want to read more! From the first page, I really liked our two main protagonists. I loved their chemistry and their banter, and I quickly started rooting for them to be together, and I liked their banter. 

Now having read the whole book, I will admit that this unfortunately didn't live up to my expectations. I had a lot of issues with the book, including the lack of communication between our two main characters and some scenes that made me cringe. I also wasn't the biggest fan of the ending and how it handled the subject matter.

Best Book I've Read in a Long Time!!

This was a fantastic read! A realistic fiction novel that you just can't put down. I don't want to give away any spoilers but I will say it's a book I could already read again it was that good! I loved every character and can't wait until the next book comes out.

Great preview of an amazing book. This wasn’t the full book but a great sample to whet your appetite

Thank you netgalley, the publisher and author
This was just an excerpt of this novel and really enjoyed it
I cannot wait to read the rest.

This book was engaging, funny, and real. I enjoyed every moment of reading this and I look forward to reading more of what Abby has to offer.

TFZ is the sweet, funny, real, and romantic story of Kristin and Josh who find each other and find love through this crazy thing called life. 

Kristin is a no nonsense, tell it like it is, hilarious lady who loves dogs and owns her own business catering to dogs, of course. She also suffers from infertility and keeps that secret to herself as she is terribly afraid to share that with anyone around her

Josh is a funny, sweet, sexy guy who knows what he wants and isn't afraid to go for it. He is the best man to Kristin's maid of honor in their best friends wedding. He ends up being the listening ear that Kristin doesn't know she needs.

A well defined story with developed characters and a future that will take this plot forward to future stories. Lots of surprises, tears, laughs, and sweet momenta.

Witty and romantic, The Friend Zone was just what the doctor ordered to get me out of a funk. Although a rom-com, this book also deals with real-world issues that make it more solid than your average run of the mill romance. I really enjoyed it!

Fun Rom- Com.  I had to run out and buy this book after reading the excerpt.  I love a good romance.  I’m stoked for the next book- Happily Ever After Playlist.

I loved the Friend Zone preview so much that I ended up purchasing the book. After a rough start, Josh and Kristen become super close friends who end up having romantic feelings. I smiled, laughed, and read the whole book over two days. I was that into the story. Can’t wait to read the sequel and future novels by Abby Jimenez. .

Tremendously engaging preview. Kristen's salty, razor sharp wit had me grinning page after page, I was completely delighted by the preview, so much so that I immediately downloaded the full book.

This seems to be very interesting.  Hoping to read the full book soon. Thanks to Netgalley and the publisher for this extended preview copy.

This was just a preview, but based on the preview, I ended up purchasing the book, and subsequently recommending it to several friends and colleagues who also read and loved it. While I was bummed I only got a preview, it was a great book. .

I actually am late to reviewing this book because I had read the entire book before I realized I had been approved for the preview. This book is so wonderful, with great tension, plenty of steam, and an undercurrent of more serious issues that pave the way for the subsequent book. I didn't love two elements of the book - how Kristen is a "guy's girl" (can we just agree that women have diverse interests and preferences just like a man?) and the "surprise" ending that felt implausible and perhaps triggering for women facing infertility.

Love, love, love this book!! Abby Jimenez hit it out of the park with her first book! I can’t say enough about the story. Her characters are so relatable it makes you forget your reading a book, it’s more like hanging out with friends. I am so looking forward to her next book to see where the journey of these characters takes them next!

I read this book recently before I had gotten to the author’s second book. Book two isn’t a sequel;  but most characters are introduced in the first book and come back in the second. The friend zone is an amazing story! I was very surprised by it and very impressed with TFZ.

I loved this book so much! Like. . . .go back and reread half the book as soon as I finished it kind of love.

Interesting book.. I hope I was able to request for  the whole book. Now,  I have to wait for it to be on sale before I could read on  🙄

While this was just a preview, I loved it so much that I purchased the full book and plan to read it shortly! From everything I hear from others, this book is excellent, as well as the next one that she just published! Can't wait to finish the full title!

Wonderful preview of what is likely to be a fun, heartwarming but likely heartbreaking book. The main characters are instantly engaging and complex enough to be realistic and relatable.
