I'm obsessed. I read The Friend Zone and really enjoyed it, but after a mere snippet of this novel I already love it more than its predecessor. Abby Jimenez is the queen of good flirty banter and I can't wait to read Sloan's whole story!
The Happy Ever After Playlist tells the story of Sloan, who, in The Friend Zone, suffered a heart-wrenching tragedy. This is only a preview but its engaging, humorous dialogues are a delight to read. This is a slow-burn romance. I’m guessing the ugly-cry, angsty scenes will make their appearance later in the book as Abby Jimenez’ signature style of story-telling.
Loved the preview and I'm absolutely sure I will love the finished book.
This was an excellent preview. I was quickly absorbed in Sloan and Jason's story and I'm looking forward to reading the rest of it. Waiting until April is going to be so difficult.
Just read the extended preview of this book I received off of #netgalley and can not wait for this book to come out so I can continue reading and see what happens with Sloan and Jason and this crazy chemistry they seem to have after she rescues his dog and accepts to keep watching him while Jason is out of town for work. Love the quick,flirty texts and conversations they have in this preview of the book!
Wow. Just wow. I loved Abby's first book but this book was something else. The characters were so well developed and the story was so fleshed out and real that I honestly felt like it was real. I cried (honestly, heart wrenching much??) and laughed and everything in between - and I wanted to fly out to get Nadia's cake (I see what Abby did there..). The characters were just so real and perfect and flawed - I want Kristin and Ernie as my best friends. And obviously Tucker too. This book was incredibly written and if you love happy rom coms, first read The Friend Zone then read this one immediately afterwards. Do it - you won't regret it for a second. Just bring tissues.
Just finished the Extended Preview, and I will definitely be picking up this book when it comes out! The story features Sloan and Jason. Sloan, is an artist who two years previously lost her fiance in a car accident and has been living a very sheltered life since then. Enter Tucker, a high energy lovable dog who starts to bring her out of her shell. it takes Sloan several weeks to track down his owner, Jason. The rest, is not history, but the rest of this story that I can't wait to read!
I read "The Friend Zone" and enjoyed it, but already feel myself more invested in this story. I always wondered what happened to Sloan from the first book, and love that she is getting her own story. I do think this book will stand on it's own as well, if you haven't read the first book.
I really enjoy the playfulness of the characters and how they interact together. I am really looking forward to seeing how the story between Sloan and Jason!
A huge thank you to Netgalley and Forever (Grand Central Publishing) for the ARC of this extended preview.
I was very happy to get this ARC. Since there's some time till its release, I'll have to wait a bit for the entire story but it's worth the wait. This story is quite unique and the writing is very good. I was completely into the book and finished it very fast and that too in one go. I really hope to read it upon its release.
This preview has all the best elements of a romance. The dialogues were good and Abby Jimenez's great storytelling made it worth my while. I liked the way it started and I finished it in one go. Really looking forward to it and I heartily recommend it to all the romance readers and also the authors fan. Also the cover is very pretty and eye catching. I loved it so far. A must read. Watch out for April 14.
Happy reading.
I absolutely loved Abby Jimenez first book 'The Friend Zone', therefore I've been soo excited for Sloan's Story! This preview made me even more excited and I literally cannot wait for this book to be released. I just want Sloan to find happiness again. Plus I am ready to cry, so can it please already be the April 14th??
I absolutely loved Abby Jimenez's first book and was tentatively hopeful that The Happy Ever After Playlist would be as good. Honestly, from this extended preview, it might be even better!
Sloan and Jason were interesting characters with great banter and chemistry. After getting to know Sloan in The Friend Zone, I am looking forward to seeing more of her story as she grieves and moves forward.
I cannot wait to read more of this book!
What was I thinking, signing up to read a preview? I basically just signed up to torture myself. One of my favorite things to read is witty banter via text. I'm right down giddy with how things are going for Jason and Sloan. I'm gonna need more ASAP. Things were literally just getting good.
In just a few chapters this preview had me hooked and I cannot wait to read the entire book! After reading "The Friend Zone" I was already attached to Sloan's story and I am ready to dive into her world fully. Abby Jimenez has an amazing ability for writing relatable characters that make you feel a strong emotional attachment to their story and they feel like your friends. From just reading the first chapters I can tell she has done it again! I am grateful to Netgalley and the publishers for the opportunity to read this preview in exchange for an honest review.
Just read the first few chapters of this book, and I CANNOT WAIT for it to be released! I’m hooked! The main characters, Sloan and Jason, seem funny and down-to-earth, and have a great flirty banter between them. In the first several chapters, Sloan nearly hits a stray dog running across the street, who manages to jump through her sunroof and into her car! Upon finding out that the dog isn’t a stray, she sets out to find its owner, and the dog (and owner) works I’m his way into her life. Love this book so far!
After reading and throughly enjoying "The Friend Zone," I was excited to see another upcoming novel my Abby Jimenez. I have not read the extended preview of "The Happily Ever After Playlist) and I cannot wait to read the rest! Sloan Monroe is still struggling two years after the death of her fiancé when a different type of love interest suddenly comes back into her life - in the form of a tail wagging, fur on the bedspread, wet kisses in the morning pup named Tucker. There is only only little problem... Tucker belongs to Jason, who has been away for a music tour in Australia. When Jason contacts Sloan to get his dog back, the two begin exchanging texts and getting to know each other. While Sloan is uncertain about letting herself get too close (for numerous reasons), the two of them begin to click.... but will they be able to acknowledge their attraction for each other? And can they overcome the issues from their pasts and the conflict inherent in their situation?
I just finished reading my preview of this book and WOW. I am so bummed it was only a few short chapters. Already the chemistry was building, I was emotionally involved, and had laughed out loud more than once.
I cannot wait for the pub date! It’s one I will pick up ASAP.
ARE YOU KIDDING ME?
You tease me with this 5 chapter preview and I have to wait to read the rest?!?
Please put me out of my misery and approve me for the rest of this book!!
PLEASE!!
I KNEW that Abby Jimenez would make up for how she left things with Sloan, and I can already tell that this will be a 5 star resolution!!
This book deserves 10 stars!!
I started reading and was captivated from page one.
But, yes there's a but, it's an extended preview only. Please pretty please with a cherry on top, I need to read this book.
Dear publisher, I'm crying big fat tears and I'm begging you, grant me an ARC of The Happy Ever Playlist from this outstanding and fantstic author.
Read the extended preview and can't can't wait for the full book. Abby Jimenez has a way of writing a story that sucks you in and gives you all the feels.. Her characters are relatable and make you feel like you could love them as people in real life. Never mind that her books are totally hilarious. Can't wait for the full release
Loved this book so far, and really looking forward to reading the full novel.
Sloan is struggling after losing her finace 2 years ago, but when she finds a stray dog things start to change.
More 3.5 stars. I’ve been looking “forward” to Sloan’s book since reaching the end of Kristen’s book ( which had me sobbing by the way). After what she went through, Sloan deserves to find her person.
Glad to see that Tucker is basically forcing Sloan to get out and face the world. I feel that Sloan and Jason have gone from “I have your dog/ please watch my dog for me” to flirty texts to phone conversations too quickly. I hope that this does not lead to a plot point of Sloan feeling guilty for forgetting about Brandon (did she make it to his grave later?)
Thanks for the extended preview.
The Friend Zone was so great, I absolutely cannot wait to dive into The Happy Ever After Playlist. This teaser hooked me from the very beginning and the wait for the rest of it in April will be excruciating. Really looking forward to this!
