Haven’t cried this much over a book in a long time. The grief that is experienced in the book is profound and heartbreaking. I wish I could give this book ten stars.

I don’t always love an enemies to lovers book, but Abby really made me enjoy this book. I love her writing and I will read everything she writes. Her characters are likeable especially the dog!!

Speaking from the experience of a person who also lost her fiance to a vehicle accident, this book hit all the right notes. Abby's research and care of a difficult topic really shines through her writing and shows how life can continue on after kids, while still honoring that loss.

Sloan has a new guy in her life. An adorable dog who like to give looks that sets her heart to flutter. He comes into her life at a much needed moment . From the time they meet this dog sets in motion a variety of characters that will change Sloans life. It’s a good little story.

This was a really enjoyable preview that had me engaged. The music choices were great and really helped me in connecting with the story. Hopefully I will be able to read the novel in its entirety soon.

Thank you for this preview.

I love all Abby Jimenez has to write. This was a wonderful romance that had realistic feels. The main characters were likable and the trope of enemies to lovers is fantastic. After losing her fiancé, Sloan has to find herself again. She feels like she is getting somewhere and connecting with a lost dog has helped her do that. She has gone weeks trying to contact the owner but nothing works. Finally Tucker, the owner reaches out and things move along from there. This was a fun read.

Realized I provided reviews on Amazon and Goodreads but never on NetGalley.

I was a fan of Abby Jimenez after her first book, but this really sealed it for me. I’m writing this 2 years after publication, and often see fans recommending a “book order” or reading order for Abby’s books. Yes, this one *must* be read *after* the friend zone.

I love that this book gives us a glimpse into a character that is not only hurting, but that she is not the wild child that her friend is. Sloane is conservative, to a degree, and won’t do what so many TV and book characters will- meet some random guy at a bar and hop on him at first chance. Jason isn’t ready to use his star power for a hook up, or even to impress a pretty girl.

This is a great story of finding connection and learning how to get beyond the in between. Every one of us has been in the in between in our life and love at some point. And we never thought we’d make it out. Maybe we all need a playlist, or just a Jason/Jaxon to help us out?

Love, love, love!!! The songs go perfectly with each chapter. Listen to the song first and then read the chapter. I did that and felt as though I was a part of the book!

I loved this book. I particularly enjoyed the back and forth perspectives. Can be read alone but best if read after reading The Friend Zone. Perfect amount of romantic cheesiness.

This is probably one of my favorite books by Abby! You feel everything the characters feel and who wouldn’t love Tucker?!?!

The Happy Ever After Playlist was amazing. Relatable, full of emotion. Abby Jimenez produces characters you can’t help but love and a setting you can’t help but be sucked into.

Another amazing book by Abby Jimenez that rocks the reader to the core, tackles an important topic but also provides the reader with an escape from life. Laugh out loud fun!

This book was an absolute delightful read. The characters were very real and fleshed out. The story, although not relatable to everyone (I mean, how often do you get to fall in love with a rock star),felt like this could actually happen if you believe hard enough. A beautiful, funny, cleaver escape. Abby Jimenez does it again !

This is one of my favorite books by Abby. Loved this book so much. She really knows how to incorporate all the feels while still adding humor to her books.

Abby Jimenez is easily one of my favorite authors. This book exceeded my expectations in every way and I am so happy to have been able to read it! I've given at least 10 copies out as gifts, it's that good.

Abby Jimenez’s second novel is swoon worthy. Jimenez has a way of incorporating real world issues into her novel. Salon’s complicated grief and movement forward is handled masterfully. The love story between Sloan and Jason is masterfully created and the ending is worth waiting for. 100% recommend this book.

The Happy Ever After Playlist is a laugh-out-loud book about finding love after tragically losing it. The author writes believably real people with strengths and skills, weaknesses and foibles, and weaves a story into which one can easily fall while loving every minute. The hardest part is finishing it, knowing one must wait for the next installment.
