I actually had to own this beautiful book. I started reading it and I loved it. I ordered it so fast. This story is one of a kind and the author took her time and no rush. I love that we got to know the characters
After reading the first five chapters, I'm so excited to read the whole book in its entirety. I will definitely be buying this book!
I don't read romance books very often. As I find them too predictable and boring
However I really enjoyed the first five chapters and I was gutted I couldn't carry on.
Josh and Kristen met when Josh accidentally went into the back of Kristen. They exchanged non friendly words and went separate ways. Little did they know they were heading to the same place.
When Kristen's carpenter quits, Brandon, Josh friend was quick to recommend Josh
As Josh sets to work and spends more time with Kristen. Chemistry rears its ugly head but Kristen as a boyfriend...
I love the banter with Josh and Kristen. They clearly have a lot in common. I'm hoping the author was release the rest of the book soon as I can't wait to finish it!
I received and only read a 5 chapter excerpt of this from Netgalley complimentary and I wouldn't go forward to read more. I mostly liked the characters but just too much and why is she flirting so hard with Josh when she HAS a boyfriend? I just couldn't get past that. Whether he was "the one" or not, don't disrespect another human for NO reason. It just was totally unnecessary.
While The Friend Zone by Abby Jimenez starts out as a fun story with witty banter and great chemistry between Kristen and Josh, (love them!) this is an amazing story that deals with infertility issues, strong friendships, family drama, loss, the most romantic love and self worth. I was crying tears of joy and laughter in the end, giving it 5 happy stars. I couldn’t stop reading it. And when I had to, I came back to it as soon as I could. I finished it in two days. I highly recommend this story. It’s told from both Kristen and Josh’s points of view. Loved it!
WOW!! That all I can say about this book. I heard about this book on the Wicked Wallflower Podcast. This podcast interviewed Abby Jimenez. I was really intrigued about the plot of the book. As a woman, that has experience hormonal issues and family member whom had hysterectomy,
I wanted to read about these women experiences. Josh and Kristen a start as Enemies to Friends to Lovers. If you like The Hating Game, it kind of start like that however, you can see that Josh and Kristen has chemistry and spark fly off the page. However, Kristen has a boyfriend and fertility issues. It really amazing how these two get together.
There is a sudden tragedy that hits both of these characters. It was heartbreaking. You will cry and you will laugh. Please do not read at night right before bed, I couldn't put this book down. I didn't go to bed until 6am. I can't wait for the next book.
The first five chapters of this book were just a tease!! They characters were instantly likeable and the book was so well written that I needed more. As soon as this book was available for purchase, I had to know what happened. Looking forwarded to getting to know Kirsten and Josh further in this romantic comedy -The Friend Zone.
LOVE this book. So many deep topics (fertility issues) within the steamy chemistry. Can’t wait for next book to come out.
I absolutely loved this book! I love a good rom com, but this one was so much more. The character development was great, really invested in all of them. Don't normally give 5 stars, but this book deserves it!!!!
Wow this preview of The Friend Zone has left me wanting more! I can't wait to find out what happens with Kristen and Josh! Will they continue to be in -the friend zone or will something else materialize? This little sneak peek left me hanging.
I loved their playful banter and couldn't help but think what a great couple they might make. Although of course there is the boyfriend..hmmm guess I will need to pick up a copy and find out how this pans out.
Great pace, funny, witting and really got my interest from the first page.
I was lucky enough to get a preview of this book and it wan't enough. I was in dire need of the entire book. I can't wait to get my hands on the entire book.
I loved this extended preview. So much that I purchased the book to finish on vacation. Can’t wait to see how it all ends!
I kept seeing this book everywhere and was excited to be given the chance to preview the first five chapters to see if this is a good one for me. I enjoyed the main characters and their banter. I think it will be great to see how their friendship develops and how they get to know one another. Will she, won't she fall for him? Will he stay as a friend. It is a cute romance and I am looking forward to finishing it.
This is an extended preview (5 chapters) of the book and I cannot wait to go and buy this book. It had me hooked from the first chapter. I really enjoy the development of the two characters and their chemistry together. So far it is a 5 star from me.
Thank you to Netgalley for the extended preview copy of the book.
Interesting set up for a story. Not sure about the lack of TW for some of the conception stuff.. Curious to see what else Abby writes. She has a really great voice and writing style.
I do not rate/fully review any chapter previews. Though this was a nice length preview overall.
I don’t really know what to say about this book. It was one of my favorite books of the year. The beginning hooked me and I
Couldn’t put it down. The relationship between Josh and Kristen took readers on a roller coaster of emotions. The event towards the end had me in tears but made me love it even more.
Thank to the publisher and Netgalley for a fabulous ARC in exchange for an honest review.
Witty and hilarious. The first 5 chapters will hook you in and I've already bought the book to see how this story play out.
A great romantic read with such endearing characters. I'm looking forward to picking up a full copy.
It seems like a cute story, but I hear it's heartbreaking as well. I was only able to preview 5 chapters on NetGalley, which wasn't quite enough. I'd like to read more before I form my opinion.
I didn't really like this one like I expected I would. I am not sure I will be picking up the book to read more of it.
