I absolutely loved this sneak peek of The Happily Ever After Playlist. Abby Jimenez does not shy away from tackling the subjects that tend to get overlooked in life. I love the message that sorrow and grief is a journey, but doesn't have to be the destination. I cannot wait to purchase the book so I can finish Sloan's story.

SO darn fun! Abby Jimenez stole my heart with this adorable romcom.Sloane and Jason had the most perfect meet cute ever (not sure if technically this was a meet cute, but I’m calling it that because it was super cute). The beginning of their relationship was pure magic, so sweet and authentic. They of course had some bumps in the road when they were literally on the road traveling while Jason’s band was on tour. It was all resolved almost as adorably as they met. The audiobook was narrated by Erin Mallon and Zachary Weber who are two of my all-time favorite narrator’s and they did an outstanding job as always! There is just so much to love about this book: the friendship between Sloan and Kristin, Jason’s amazing family, and Best of all tucker the dog! The perfect romance that will make you swoon, smile, and side.

I really enjoyed this excerpt! There was a lot of information communicated about Sloan’s life, Tucker is an adorable doggo, and I’m really curious about what will happen when Sloan and Jason meet up. This is definitely a book that I’m planning to purchase and see what happens next! Thank you to the publisher and Netgalley for the opportunity to read this excerpt. I will update this review upon completing the full book!

I loved reading the first chapters of this book because I loved that character and getting to know our main characters and loved her attachment to the dog was this wonderful sweet moment. Can't wait to finish reading this!

I LOVED this book! While this is not a "book series", I was nervous about reading it after loving The Friend Zone. I didn't think it would live up to the hype and boy was I wrong! I loved Sloan and Jason so much, I could literally feel their chemistry through the book pages!!! This is my 2nd book I've read from Abby Jimenez and it won't be my last! Giving this wonderful book 5 stars!

Totally in love with this extended preview. It's cute, it's heartbreaking, it's possibly a real sample of what this book is going to feel.
I love Sloan from before and I can't wait to see her heal. And Jason and his dog look real good. I hope this turns out real great. I hope they get to be really happy. Sloan deserves everything.

This story was everything I had hoped it would be. After reading the Friend Zone I needed this story and it did not disappoint. This is emotional and heartbreaking at times but it is also very entertaining and so much fun. Looking forward to whatever this author writes next.

I loved The Friend Zone but OMG I love The Happy Ever After Playlist more!
This story picks up two years after The Friend Zone. Sloan is still grieving the loss of her fiancé while trying to move on with her life. One day while idling at a red light as it turns green and proceeds she slams on her brakes because she sees a copper colored furry blur jump in front of her car. This dog leaps through her sunroof and onto her lap.
After trying and not finding the dog’s owner she decided to keep it. Enter Jason the musician who just got home from touring to find out his dog is lost.
Jason finally gets in touch with Sloan to get his dog back but Sloan doesn’t want to return the dog just yet.

My friends, this is where the story takes you on this wonderful ride. It has its laugh out loud moments, just the right amount of steam, some stalking and vandalism, heartbreaking moments and heartwarming friendships.

I love getting attached to characters and being able to read more about them in subsequent books. The Friend Zone was excellent and The Happy Ever After Playlist is fantastic! I enjoyed getting to see how these characters were doing after some time had passed and I was ready to see Sloane move on after her tragic loss. The addition of a totally sexy rock star and getting to see a bit of the rock star lifestyle was fascinating, and his dog? I fell in love.

Beautifully written and with truly likeable characters this book is at the top of my favorites list! If it's not on your wishlist, it should be.

I loved Abby Jimenez's first books so I was exited for this one, and the preview did not disappoint. Sloan and Jason had instant chemistry even over the phone and via text. Their meet cute and banter were great, and I loved getting to check in on the characters from her first novel.

Abby Jimenez is a top favorite writer of mine. Reading her work tugs at your heartstrings and makes you bust out laughing (especially if you're listening to the audiobook!) because she is just TOO funny. Sloan was easy to love and Jason was exactly what a reader wants in a romance novel. Abby has a fresh spin on romance - for sure not the run of the mill - same story, change names, rinse and repeat attitude towards writing. Her first book, The Friend Zone was a huge hit with me and I was glad to see their story continue on with Sloan as she grapples with the loss of her fiancé and Jason, the newly minted musician. I loved the book, laughed as I read the book walking down the road nightly. I cannot wait to read Abby's next book and I just love her writing so much!

Really enjoyed this preview!! I was slightly bummed when it ended. Having not read anything by this author before, I am definitely intrigued and have already started googling her other works. The Happy Ever After Playlist seemed well written, and I loved the easy banter between the two lead characters. Will be looking into purchasing this novel in the near future!

I highly recommend this book. If you have a few hours, read it in one sitting. Sloan lost her fiancee in a tragic accident and Jason is focused on getting his music career off the ground. This is not your typical musician romance. This book has it all, romance, emotional connection and everything in between. If you you enjoy reading about real relationships, where you get to know and understand the characters, and feel for them as though you're there with them going through it then READ this book.

This was just the first four chapters of this book

I had never read anything by this author before but the description sounded so great. It did not disappoint. The first four chapter sucked me in to the point that I immediately went and baught the full book.

Sloan is two years into a grieving period and ready to continue grieving. Then one day she stoppes i the middle of the road to avoid hitting a dog. A dog who jumps into her car through her broken sunroof, and then ends up going home with her. This crazy dog turns out to be the best thing that happens to her. He, his name is Tucker, gets her out of her funk, he gets her out of her house. He is the reason she meets Jason. Who's Jason, the owner of the crazy dog.

These first few chapters were so great. I can't wait to see what the rest of the book brings. I am not posting this review to any of my sites as it is just the first 4 chapters and I baught the full book and will post the review of the that once I am done.

I was anticipating this book so much especially after I fell in love with The Friend Zone, and this one did not disappoint!! Jason and Sloan’s witty banter and relationship kept me smiling and laughing and crying and smiling again while reading it. Sloan was so much more developed in this book; she thrived and grew as a person and I was rooting her on the whole time. Also, I adore Kristen and Sloan’s friendship; it’s the kind of friendship people dream about! Overall, 5 stars from me!

I am so excited to read this book. I really enjoyed Abby Jimenez's previous nove'l "The Friend Zone." I'm already getting all the feels from the preview. The banter and the premise already has me chuckling and engaged. Jimenez has a very distinctive voice and I think it comes out in these few chapters. Definitely excited to read the full book..

I love the chemistry with Sloan and Jason right off the bat! Also anything with a dog or cat involved has me intrigued. Cant wait to read the rest of the book!
