I need this full book. I love it and the characters are just what I need to learn about them and see how their story changes into a full happily ever after

Picking up after the end of Abby Jimenez's last book, The Friend Zone, the excerpt for this novel promises a sweet and fresh romantic comedy that had me smiling, laughing out loud, and definitely wanting more. The chemistry is palpable, the grief feels surmountable, and the dog is absolutely lovable! I can't wait to read the full book when it comes out!

This was an excerpt for The Happy Ever After Playlist by Abby Jimenez. Thank you to NetGalley and Forever Publishing for the advance copy excerpt in exchange for an honest review.

The author is local to me and I follow her social media accounts as well so I was very curious to read her first book which I loved. This preview of the second book was AMAZING. It had me laughing out loud and I love how enjoyable all the characters are. Sloan and Kristin's friendship is just so relatable and makes you want to be part of their friendship. The author has the ability to take some serious issues, discuss them, and still add in humor to make it a fantastic read. This is definitely a cant put down book and I cant wait to get my hands on the full book and find out the rest of the story!

Thank you Netgalley for the ARC. Preview.

I love music and reading put the two together like Abby Jimenez did and I am happy. I had the privilege to read a preview of this book and I cannot wait for it to be released. Do you believe in happy ever after? I do, I think there is someone for everyone and the right person will be placed into our lives when we least expect it.
This book is a delight and a page turner it speaks about friendship, love and passion.

Ahhh!! I wanted this to go on and on! I loved the character of Sloan and wanted to get to know her more. I can’t wait for
Tucker’s owner to come back and for the two characters to meet.
Super cute and fun -
Such a great start!

Fell in love with this book just as much as The Friend Zone. So worth the rollercoaster ride of emotions! Can’t wait to get the book on release date and read it again! Such an amazing author Abby is and can’t wait for the next one!

After reading The Friend Zone, I knew Sloan’s story would be compelling. In fact, I was so excited to read The Happy Ever After Playlist that I decided to read the free extended preview. A little snack, if you will, to tide me over. Big mistake. I’m in love with this story already and I’ve only read a few chapters. I was a goner from the moment the adorable dog Tucker is introduced. Then you add in the witty and flirty text messages and phone calls between Tucker’s owner, Jason, and Sloan. Can you say rom com heaven? How am I supposed to wait until April to read the rest of the story?!?! I only have myself to blame.

Opening with an epic meet cute, Jimenez sets the tone for the perfect rom-com. However, after starting the sample, I quickly abandoned it to read Jimenez’s debut (The Friend Zone) and I’m glad I did. because I was able to appreciate the story that much more. Fans of Kristen and Josh will be thrilled with this book. The couple get lots of page time because they are Sloan’s support system as she navigates her grief and her new relationship.

What I love is how carefully Jimenez pens Sloan—she is a character that is completely broken by grief and is simply existing. I encourage you to read the incredibly touching inspiration for this book in the acknowledgments.

This book has all the feels, it is emotional, raw, and just plain funny. I adored the witty banter and Jimenez has an impeccable ear for dialogue. The Happy Ever After Playlist is heartfelt, flirty, and fun.

It is two years after Brandon's accident and Sloan's pilgrimage to the cemetery is interrupted by a dog jumping through her sunroof. When Sloan finally contacts the dogs owner he is half a continent away. And cute. And funny. And single. And I can't wait for the rest of the book!

I absolutely loved the preview of this book and cannot wait for its’ release! I really hope I’m able to scoop up an advance copy on netgalley, because I’m not sure I can wait until April to read it!

In the first few chapters, I fell in love with Tucker, the dog of course and felt so connected to Sloan!

It’s a well-paced read with a storyline that hooks you right away. Looking forward to seeing what happens with Sloan, Jason and most of all, Tucker (please don’t let anything sad happen to this sweet baby angel)!

Abby Jimenez is QUEEN! The Friend Zone was my favorite read of 2019 and when I found out that Sloan was getting her own story I just could not wait. Abby is an amazing writer who builds upon likeable characters.
Thank you to Forever and NetGalley for this amazing preview of the best 2020 release! I cannot wait to read the whole thing.

The Friend Zone was one of my favorite romance reads of 2019 and I have been anticipating the release of The Happy Ever After Playlist ever since. As soon as I started reading this preview I couldn't stop - and now my eagerness for the April 14th release date has skyrocketed. What happened to Sloan towards the end of The Friend Zone broke my heart and I'm so happy that we get to read her story now. I absolutely loved the banter that started immediately between Sloan and Jason and I can't wait to see how their relationship develops. I also really enjoyed getting to see Kristen and Josh make appearances after falling in love with them in The Friend Zone.

I received an advanced preview of this book. I loved the author’s first book and can tell this one will also be great. The writing is quick and easy to read and the characters are lovable. I can’t wait to see where Sloan goes now as she recovers from the loss of her fiancé.

I really liked the start of this! I've been looking forward to this book as soon as I heard there was a follow-up to The Friend Zone. This preview just made me even more antsy to read the full thing!

I first started following Abby on social media because of her bakery Nadia Cakes. She's hilarious and witty so when she started talking about her first book, The Friend Zone, I knew I needed to get it. I've purchased two books (the second because I "needed" an autographed one), one digital book and one audio book and have read/listened to the story at least a half dozen times.
I'd already pre-ordered The Happy Ever After Playlist when Abby told us an extended preview was available. I knew I'd love it because her writing style and characters are the best I've ever read. I have to say I think I already love this story more than the first book. A few chapters in and I'm already fully invested in Sloan's story. It's going to be tough waiting until April 14th to finish the story. Is it weird that I've already looked at the calendar and debated taking the 15th off so I can stay up and finish it all in one night?!
I hope Abby has continues to write many stories so I can get my fix. That's the only downside to devouring her books, once I'm done I have to wait an undefined amount of time for the next one. Thank God she's always posting funny stories to social media to keep my going :)
