This was so awesome. Definitely need to read the rest of the story. Even if someone already spoiled me the ending

It was an enjoyable first few chapters. I look forward to reading the rest of the story when it’s available. Thank you for sharing.

I was offered this preview and I dashed through every page after months of hype. When I reached the final page, I was going mad wanting to know what came next so I immediately put a hold at my local library and had to wait several weeks before I was able to pick it back up.
The remainder of this book was filled with laughter and heartache, smiles and tears. This book touches people in a masterful way and I can’t wait to see where this leads in Abbys future novels.

A meet cute for a best man and maid of honor in their friends' wedding- makes for a sweet romance. I liked the first few chapters enough to keep going. I had a lot of trouble liking either of the main characters, although their situation was interesting enough (and fairly original for a romance.) Overall, just fine.
Thank you to Netgalley for a free, advance copy.

I loved reading this book. It has a very intriguing beginning and it's a relaxing read. The humor in the book too is on point and I love the character build from the very beginning of the book. lovely book. I would love to read more from the author.

I don't think I stopped smiling and laughing the whole first half of this book, cannot wait for Abby's next one! While the second half pulls at your heartstrings the witty banter between the characters is everything! You would never have guessed that this was Abby's debut novel, I highly recommend this in Contemporary Romance!

The Friend Zone will have you crying from beginning to end. From hysterical commentary between the main characters to some sad & serious parts, you won’t want to put The Friend Zone down.

This was a very good preview of the Friend Zone. I'm very intrigued by the story of Kristen and how her story will fold out. Thank you #netgalley for this preview. I look forward to reading the remainder.

Kristen and Josh have one of the funniest meet cutes I have read in a while. (I’ll let you read it for yourself!) They meet with a bang in the first chapter of this 4 chapter sneak peek. I immediately fell in love with both their characters, and lucky for me, this story seem very character-driven.

Kristen is such a strong, mouthy heroine. She is so snarky and brutally honest that I wished I had more friends like her. The only thing I don’t like about her is her boyfriend – Tyler. It isn’t that Tyler is a bad guy, but he’s keeping her away from Josh.

My favorite thing about Josh is the fact he is so smitten with Kristen. There is something so hot about a man that knows what he wants. And not only that, he’s a military man that grew up with 6 six sisters. He knows how to treat women with respect!

I cannot wait to finish their story and delve into some sensitive topics – like infertility. Be aware that infertility is something that is discussed in this book.

Nice well written swoony and decent hero her a little bit too twisted but really nice book
Some scenes were super funny really enjoyed them
Well developing plot and side characters
Abby Jimenez debut novel is funny and easy to read
If I have to find a flaw She is too ... perfect
Too a benchmark
Towards other “normal girls”

I read an extended preview of this story. I like the characters and the interaction between them. I personally am not a fan of the blunt sex language, but if that doesn't bother someone they would enjoy this story. I like my romance to be more about the relationship than tearing up the sheets.
The story is told from the viewpoint of both the main male character and the main female character. I would be interested to see how the story develops, overt focus on sex, I probably won't pick up the full book.

5 Stars Is Not Enough For This AMAZING BOOK!!!!!!! This is so far my favorite book of 2019. I can't wait to read more from Abby Jimenez. You will definitely laugh and cry with this book. Abby has a special way of making her characters feel so relatable and warm. I was blown away.

It is witty, funny, sarcastic, emotional, dramatic and so real!
I enjoyed this book so much that I couldn’t put it down to go get a tee, not saying about a real meal. And it says a lot because I am super cranky when I am hungry.
The writing is fabulous. While reading the story I was living it, laughing and crying with the main characters, feeling hurt, embarrassed, disappointed and happy.
What I loved the most in this fantastic story, are the problems that usually are avoided in romance novels: It looks like heroines there never have their periods or any health issues making sexual life difficult, they do not know how hard long distance relationships are and how impossible it feels to make the right choice.
So far it is the best debut novel of this year and I am craving more books by this author.
I highly recommend this book to all readers who appreciate well-written emotional novels.
I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own.
Thanks to the author and NetGalley for a kindly provided review copy!
