This follows Sloan from The Friend Zone and she has found love again! It's just that he's an upcoming artist that has to be on the road for 14 months after they spend 2 weeks together.
Ok so I'm not a fan of Instant Love! Never have and probably never will believe it. This was very VERY instalovey! I had some trouble with that but got so involved in the story that you kinda start feeling that they were made for each other.
Sloan I was so glad to see that she still gets her Happily Ever After!
Now Jason did some questionable things that I just shook my head and said "Boy that not right!"
Another thing I was super happy to see in this book was that Josh and Kristen still take care of her and watch out for her!
I was bawling my eyes out at the end of it! And seriously this book gave me all the feels! There was one point in the book where Jason goes to Brandon's grave and I could not even handle it! I cried so much! 😭😭😭

I was very excited to see this preview here since I am a huge fan of Abby Jimenez and her social media presence. If you are not familiar with her, she owns Nadia Cakes, a cupcake store with locations in California and Minnesota. She went viral a few years ago when an amazing cake was made that resembled something, uh, not cake-like. Her witty comebacks to the comments on social media had me hooked, and I followed her on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram. I can't get enough!

I read The Friend Zone when that first came out and enjoyed it, so I was looking forward to the second book. This book did not disappoint. Is the plot 100% conceivable? Not really. But let's face it, when you want to get lost in a fun read, does that really matter? The chapters alternated from the perspective of Sloan and Jason. There is a playlist that goes along with each chapter to enhance your reading experience. I did not take advantage of this while I was reading, because I didn't want to stop reading!

I really enjoyed the excerpt of The Happy Ever After Playlist. There is a great meet-cute between the two main characters and their dialogue is quick and smart. I think it will delve into some deeper issues while also remaining light. The preview definitely made me want to read the entire book.

After loving Abby Jimenez's The Friend Zone so much I was eager to see what this book would be like in comparison, so I was happy to get a preview of it from Net Galley. I really enjoyed this preview of The Happy Ever After Playlist, and will definitely be purchasing the full eBook to continue reading it. Thanks so much to Net Galley, Forever (Grand Central Publishing) and Abby Jimenez for this wonderful sneak peek!

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.

*** Big thank you to Forever and libro.fm for my gifted copy of this book. All opinions are my own. ***

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!

This book wasn’t as good as the first one, but it is still a wonderful story that brought me to tears!

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 book is amazing! I loved The Friend Zone and this is the perfect sequel and the story Sloan deserves!

Im SO happy i got to read this extended preview. It definitely makes me want to continue reading this book, I always love a good happy ever after that includes a dog!

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 really liked this extended preview and will definitely read the whole thing. The happy ever ever playlist has a very interesting premise and the writing kept me interested from the very beginning. Looking forward to reading the complete book!

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!
