This is the sequel to The Friend Zone. I loved The Friend Zone and have been so excited to read The Happy Ever After Playlist. I could not stop after the preview so continued reading the rest of the book.

The Happy Ever After Playlist is the story of Sloan finding love after losing her fiance. Sloan finds a dog and starts texting the owner which quickly turn flirty and personal. This book was so funny and lighthearted with some deep parts. I really enjoyed it and was so happy to read about Sloan finding love after loss.

The Happy Ever After Playlist | review.

Genre: Contemporary Romance.

Rating: Five stars.

Y’all this book has it all- an adorable dog, a strong heroine and a sexy Rock Star. It’s the perfect combination. Two years after losing her finance, Sloan is still a shadow of herself. One day, she finds a trouble-making pup who makes her feel alive again. After two weeks of unanswered texts, Tucker’s owner reaches out and wants Tucker back. Sloan isn’t about to give up her dog without a fight… But what if this guy really loves Tucker? Their flirty texts soon turn into long conversations and before long they are falling for each other without ever meeting in person.

First off, I stayed up until 2AM reading this book if that tells you anything! It is adorable and sweet and perfect for binging.

This is the second novel in The Friend Zone series, but I didn’t read the first one. I’ve heard that it dealt with infertility in a problematic way from some very good sources and this girl doesn’t have time for any of that. The Happy Ever After Playlist could easily be a stand alone novel.

I enjoyed this fun, lighthearted read immensely. Their struggles with Jason’s tour and fame really added a lot of debt to this book.

Be sure to read this one if you haven’t already!

After reading an extended preview of The Happy Ever After Playlist by Abby Jimenez, I'm already hooked and ready to read more. The characters were warm and the book felt light, yet dealt with heavier topics than are typical in the romance genre, such as grief. I look forward to reading the rest of the book and seeing if and how Sloan gets her 'happy ever after' after the loss she's endured.
Many thanks to Forever (Grand Central Publishing) and NetGalley for the advance copy.

I loved The Friend Zone so I could not wait to read this! It definitely didn’t disappoint! Sloans struggles to get over Brandon were realistic and relatable. I loved Jason’s patience with her and how he helped her face her grief to get over Brandon. The reason it is a 4 star for me is the chapters where Jason allowed Sloan to believe he had slept with Hope felt a little forced and trifled. The ending though was swoon worthy! There were many parts that made me swoon and reminded me why I love this genre! Though The Friend Zone is still probably my favorite I am so glad Sloan got her happy ever after!

I'd seen so much hype about this book over on Instagram and figured it wasn't for me, as it features someone getting over the death of their partner and that seemed a bit heavy for my taste... Well, I was wrong. This 6-chapter preview has me totally caught up in Sloan and Jason and wondering where their story will go next. It's such a cute start to a story, with a dog bringing them together (Sloan rescues Jason's dog after it jumps through her sunroof, but he can't come get it as he's overseas. They connect and start talking after she agrees to keep the dog until he gets back). The conversations between the two are so good, and the connection is already sparking. The dog is also absolutely adorable, you can't go wrong with a cute dog! It was also lovely to see how her friends supported her. I also liked that each chapter starts with a song recommendation, now I have some music to look up!

While it does deal with some heavy themes, so far it seems like the book deals with them in an uplifting way, and I'd like to see where that goes. It may not be the most fluffy premise, but death of a partner is something that a lot of people go through, so telling the story of finding love after loss is something that could definitely be helpful to many and is an important perspective to be represented. I've placed a hold on it at my library and can't wait to find out where the story goes!

The first half of this romantic sweetness is enticing. Sloan and Jason are brought together by...Tucker or is it fate? The second half of this story will be an interesting one. Can't wait to read it. Thanks for the chance to read a preview.

Laugh out loud funny! Leave it to a dog, Tucker, to get two people talking, Sloan and Jason. One person needs to come out of a shell, another needs to learn to relax and slow down. This romantic comedy is for everyone! Although I only received the first six chapters from NetGalley, it's a must read!

While driving to her late fiance's grave, Sloan finds a stray dog and takes him in. The dog's owner ends up being a musician who is doing music for a movie in Australia. Once they get into contact, some flirting ensues and, I"m assuming, eventually a relationship.
It was okay. Definitely a cute little chick-lit, contemporary romance. I personally didn't vibe very well with the writing style and I'm not sure if I'll be picking up the complete book but I will definitely keep it in mind if I'm ever in need of a rom-com. I think the insta-love just isn't working for me right now.

So wonderful! The Happily Ever After Playlist is the perfect follow to to The Friend Zone. I can't wait to read the whole thing. I can already tell from this preview that I will love it.

I ended up buying a finished copy of this book and it’s just as great as The Friend Zone. I can’t wait to see what else this author has in store for us! So good!

So excited for this book, and now I've been able to read the whole thing - its really fun and well written, too! Excellent escapism. I would highly recommend!

This is preview only but I ALREADY KNEW THAT I WILL LOVE THIS BOOK and GUESS WHAT? I did! I was waiting for so long for this sequel! It was everything! I was laughing and crying many times. I WANT MORE.

I LOVED IT !!!

I WILL READ IT COMPLETELY BECAUSE I LIKED IT TOO MUCH, AND I WAS LOOKING FOR MORE, I NEED MORE.

I love this author and this series! She's funny, real, and she does an amazing job telling a very touching story of how a life (or lives) can change in an instant and how grief clings yet can change over time. It's a beautiful story that had me rooting for them as the story unfolds. And quite frankly, love centered around a dog makes my heart very happy.

This is an incredible sequel to The Friend Zone. I just love how funny and light the first 6 chapters had been. I've read the whole preview in one sitting and was a little bummed that I ran out of pages. I love how Sloan and Jason had some connections even before they met. I actually think I'm liking this book more than I did The Friend Zone!

After enjoying The Friend Zone, I could not wait to check out Abby Jimenez's new book, The Happy Ever After Playlist. This preview was just what I needed to get me wanting more and I will be getting the rest of the book. It is looking like a fun read!

I was very excited to see this preview here since I am a huge fan of Abby Jimenez and her social media presence. If you are not familiar with her, she owns Nadia Cakes, a cupcake store with locations in California and Minnesota. She went viral a few years ago when an amazing cake was made that resembled something, uh, not cake-like. Her witty comebacks to the comments on social media had me hooked, and I followed her on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram. I can't get enough!

I read The Friend Zone when that first came out and enjoyed it, so I was looking forward to the second book. This book did not disappoint. Is the plot 100% conceivable? Not really. But let's face it, when you want to get lost in a fun read, does that really matter? The chapters alternated from the perspective of Sloan and Jason. There is a playlist that goes along with each chapter to enhance your reading experience. I did not take advantage of this while I was reading, because I didn't want to stop reading!

I really enjoyed the excerpt of The Happy Ever After Playlist. There is a great meet-cute between the two main characters and their dialogue is quick and smart. I think it will delve into some deeper issues while also remaining light. The preview definitely made me want to read the entire book.

After loving Abby Jimenez's The Friend Zone so much I was eager to see what this book would be like in comparison, so I was happy to get a preview of it from Net Galley. I really enjoyed this preview of The Happy Ever After Playlist, and will definitely be purchasing the full eBook to continue reading it. Thanks so much to Net Galley, Forever (Grand Central Publishing) and Abby Jimenez for this wonderful sneak peek!

I absolutely loved this sneak peek of The Happily Ever After Playlist. Abby Jimenez does not shy away from tackling the subjects that tend to get overlooked in life. I love the message that sorrow and grief is a journey, but doesn't have to be the destination. I cannot wait to purchase the book so I can finish Sloan's story.
