*thank you so much to Netgalley & Forever Romance for this sneak leak in exchange for an honest review*

I CAN NOT WAIT FOR THIS BOOK TO RELEASE!
Abby is a master of words and just in these few short chapters, she’s got me hooked on the story! Her characters are so endearing and I can’t wait to see how this one shakes out!

Kristen is a no-nonsense, loyal, sarcastic woman. When she meets the best man in her best friend's wedding (she's the maid of honor), it seems like he'd be the perfect match for her. But one thing Josh has made very clear is that he wants a big family, and Kristen recently found out she will need a surgery making it impossible to have children.

Five chapters in and I'm already hooked! I can tell that this is going to be such a great novel -- full of fun, sexy romance but also with a deeper side delving into topics like infertility, family and loss. The playful, sarcastic banter between Kristen and Josh is electric off the page and yo know it will lead to a fun dynamic between the two. I can't wait to read the whole novel to see how it all plays out!

I am hooked! Personally, I think the first chapter wasn't the strongest opening, but it was necessary to set up the rest of the story. And the story is good! Car accident to mutual friends to co-workers; and she has a boyfriend and he has baggage. I can't wait to read the rest of the book!

Also, I can't tell you how much I love that she wrote her dog into the story. Stuntman Mike is my favorite.

This five chapter preview of The Friend Zone by Abby Jimenez was just enough to sufficiently peak my interest, and leave me wanting more. I am curious to see how things will play out between Josh and Kristen when Tyler returns from his deployment. Will Josh, at least temporarily, be relegated to the dreaded 'friend zone'? I will be watching for this one closer to its publication date, as I can't bear to be left hanging!

Thanks to Forever (Grand Central Publishing) for this tantalizing sneak peek.

A great preview I've read in no time and now I'm wondering where's the rest. I can't wait to get my hands on this one, it seems so much fun!

Wow! Josh and Kristen...your characters already have my heart!! This extended preview was perfect for generating interest in this book! I am absolutely hooked on this story and cannot wait for it to release so I can see how everything plays out! Truly, this book had my attention from page one and I was sad when I got to the end of chapter five and realized that was it....for now.

OMG, I need more! I’m already hooked on the budding friendship/potential relationship of Josh and Kristen. Their banter and honesty between each other is addicting to watch. I can’t wait to read this one in its entirety.

So this was a decent teaser with 5 chapters available on netgalley and I have to say I can not wait until this book is out! Fingers crossed I can score it some how before it releases because I just need to finish it! Sarcasm, a hot fireman and Stuntman Mike....what more could you ask for? I highly recommend the book thus far and look forward to release day!
