Tears. Pain. My heart is exploding. I love everything about this except for the title - calling this “the friend zone” is SUCH a disservice! This is so much more than that. A rom com at the core, but, just like every other novel I’ve read by this author, there is so much nuance and depth in the character work and the representation.

This book was cute and funny and tragic all rolled into one. There were times I really wanted to slap some of the characters. Overall though I enjoyed it. Abby Jimenez always does a great job with her characters and develops a story that keeps readers interested.

I’ve been following this author for years, YEARS because of her vageode cake. I have bought her books when they were on sale, because why not? But I was uninterested because I’m not a sappy romance kind of reader. I’ve recently gotten into rom-coms but I’m picky. A Book-toker who has never lead me astray recommended Abby’s books and had me wondering if I’d been sleeping on them. Spoiler alert: I was! I don’t know how I’ve been following this woman for years, laughing at her antics and internet trolling and thought she wouldn’t write a hilarious book?! Seriously, the book had me grinning at my desk at work and I was trying to hide that I was reading it. 😅 I felt like the anguish was too drawn out, it went on for 70% of the book. I didn’t expect to also be emotionally destroyed by the side characters either. Only downfall to the book, IMO. But I understand it’s setting us up for book 2. I read this in a day and already have book 2 on hold at the library. Don’t sleep on this like I did! It’s a great emotional little rom-com!
