Loved this preview! The banter was on point and I cannot wait to read the rest of Sloans story!

Jason had me pulled in from the beginning and I was rooting for him the whole time! I could feel Sloan's heartache and pain, as she is navigating how to continue on without her lover and friend.

I look forward to more from Abby!

Yet another story starting off with a dog by Abby Jimenez and I am HOOKED! Tucker is a GOOD BOY and I can't wait to see the rest of his adventures with Sloan. I'm sure this book is going to devastate me but I am so ready for it!

I am really looking forward to reading more book. Thank you for this preview! I'm ready to dive in and find out more. This is a perfect beach read, staycation and one to share with book BFF's.

This story is absolutely amazing! I loved Sloan and Jason! I can’t wait to read the rest of the story ( as I received an extended preview from
netgalley) and absolutely loved it! It is an adorable rom com and right up my alley and I mean come on, what girl can resist a rock star romance! I am so excited to read the rest of this story!

I was only able to read a small amount of this book as its just a preview, but I will definitely be buying it to finish! I can’t wait to purchase it!

I can already tell this is going to be amazing. Abby has the ability to write as though she’s written many before this and The Friend Zone. I can’t wait to read the rest of the book, I’m already in love with Sloan, Tucker and Jason!

After reading her first book, this was a must-read for me. I am a fan of Abby Jimenez. This book had it all. Fan of music and books. This always opens me up to finding new things to listen to and they become more enjoyable for me as a reader.

I think I’m in love. No, really.

When I first read The Friend Zone last year, I immediately fell in love with Sloan and Brandon. But then the unthinkable happened and my heart was absolutely torn apart for Sloan, and I remember wishing above anything else that she ended up getting a happily ever after. While I love Kristen and Josh, I couldn’t help but love Sloan just a little bit more, and after reading the first six chapters of her story, I think I was right to.

I love getting to know Sloan a bit more in this book - she’s definitely not anything like other main characters I’ve read about and watching her go through her stages of grief has been especially difficult. I love reading about her strength, persistence and determination through the initial few chapters and already love that she’s slowly beginning to open up to Jason.

Speaking of Jason - I’m definitely curious about him. I can’t say we discover much about him from the preview alone but I can tell he’s going to give Josh a run for his money already. Oh, and Tucker! I’m already sold, honestly.

All in all, a great first impression. Can’t wait for the rest of it!

Sadly it was only a preview, but so far - adorable! I was drawn into this story very quickly. And even better is to see how both of them interact, what they think, and how this story unfolds. It might be going so far quite fast, but I cannot wait to possible read the whole book!

I'm in love with this book and I only got a taste of it with the Extended Preview! I really enjoyed the Friend Zone, so I was excited to see what was next for Sloan after the heartbreak of losing Brandon. And I could tell by Chapter 2, I was not going to be disappointed. I can't wait to get my hands on the full book now! If you like a book that makes you cheesily grin along as your are reading it, then this one is for you!

Such a cute rom com. I really enjoyed those story so much I plan on buying the book. This brief read really got hooked.

I absolutely loved this book. It was just what I needed during this time. I have had such a hard time reading when I get home from a shift at the hospital. I’ve been needing something to suck me in and nothing was working. I loved Abby Jimenez’ first book, The Friend Zone, and had been (im)patiently waiting for this one. It did not disappoint. I want more from these characters. I love that the couples in Abby’s books are flawed in the best ways. They’re so much more lovable than the “perfect” romance couple in other books.

This extended preview was not enough. You had me at the moment the dog jumped through the sunroof of the car. No, he's my dog now...

Love it love it love it

I absolutely loved The Friend Zone, so I NEEDED to read THEAP and it did not disappoint. ⁣
⁣
The book begins 2 years after where TFZ left off. ⁣
Sloane is grieving and trying to find herself after losing her fiancé, Brandon, in a motorcycle accident. In the most unexpected way a dog “jumps” into her life. She quickly falls for Tucker, after not being able to locate his owner, she wants to keep him. Tucker begins to bring back the Sloane she used to be. ⁣
⁣
Jason, a musician, touring in Australia learns that his boy, Tucker, has been running loose in the streets of LA. He is is upset and can’t figure out how to to prove to Sloane that he loves Tucker. After much flirty bantering via text and phone calls, the connection is obvious. Will these two strangers fall for each other once they “officially” meet?⁣
⁣
Gosh, what can I say... this is the book I needed to escape from reality. I love keeping up with pop culture and this book reminded me of the magazine section “Celebrities, they’re just like us.” This romcom was everything I ask for, witty, smart and funny. ⁣

Perfect little taster - I’m really looking forward to finding out how Sloan, Jason, and Tucker find their HEA. 4 out of 5.

A nice premise for this book and bringing the dog in was a nice touch. However, the first conversation the characters ever have is on the phone and while it's intended as flirty comes off as creepy and sexual harassment. The banter was immediate and out of place (asking more about the health and safety of the dog should take precedence?), and it came off as very out of place. Would have made more sense if they became friendly and then started flirting. I found it very off-putting.

I loved Abby Jimenez's last book The Friend Zone and was so excited to check out her one, The Happy Ever After Playlist! I love how relatable and real every character Abby Jimenez writes are and how her books are always both emotionally deep and romantic and funny. The premise of this story I believe is even better and more emotionally charged and deeper than her last. I only received a partial copy of her new book from Netgalley but what I read was just as wonderful as her last and I can’t wait until I can read the rest!

I just finished reading The Friend Zone when I saw this preview on #netgalley. I was already invested in Sloan's story from The Friend Zone so it was easy to fall into this preview. I am glad the author did her story because she was a likeable character. I will be picking up this book immediately to continue on after reading this excerpt. I was sad when it ended and I need to know how this unfolds. The guy that came into Sloan's life sounds like just what she needs to pull her out from her sadness. I am hoping the dog was sent to her by Brandon. I can't wait to find out! Thank you to #netgalley for an ARC. #TheHappyEverAfterPlaylistExtendedPreview #NetGalley

Update

The Happy Ever After Playlist by Abby Jimenez is the second book about best friends, Kristen Petersen and Sloan Monroe. The first book The Friend Zone was Kristen’s book and this one is Sloan’s, this one could be read as a stand-alone but I really enjoyed both books and recommend them. I received an ARC of this book to read after reading the extended preview on NetGalley. I was hooked and sent out a begging request to read the rest of it onto social media and happily for me my request was answered. This is the first time in a very long time that I’ve read a physical book and I have to say it was kind of nice. Sloan Monroe has spent the last 2 years as a faint shadow of herself, her fiancee was killed while riding his motorcycle by a drunk driver and her grief has been overwhelming. She rescues a stray dog named Tucker when he hops into her car through her sun roof and he rescues her right back. Tucker’s owner Jason Larsen is in Australia and when he turns his phone back on after a backpacking trip he finds out that his beloved dog has been in Sloans care for two weeks. They develop a friendship while messaging back and forth and when Jason returns to California he is smitten with Sloan.
Sloan while making her way slowly out of her grief is not so sure and one of the things I liked most about Jason as a hero is his patience, he never tries to rush her or make her feel that how she is feeling is wrong. He accepts her just as she is. Jason’s career as famous musician Jaxon Waters is going to throw a wrench into their relationship though, he’s about to leave on a 14-month world tour, and all of the craziness that comes with that is something they will have to make work in order to have a Happy Ever after. This story has all the feels with a nice balance of humour and angst. Medium Steam. Publishing date.

I broke my never read a preview when you don’t have access to the entire book rule last night. I read the extended preview of The Happy Ever After Playlist by Abby Jimenez when it was offered on NetGalley. Thinking it would be perfect to read just before bed. Big mistake, it was so good and I wanted more so badly that I was awake half the night plotting ways to get to read the rest. I love both Sloan and Jason and of course Tucker is such an awesome dog. I have no idea how I will make it to April without reading the rest … #TheHappyEverAfterPlaylist #NetGalley #ForeverGrandCentralPublishing #AbbyJimenez

Silly me was excited and didn’t pay attention to the “preview” note so of course I’m headed now to get the rest of the book because I can’t put it down! So so good so far! It’s a 5-star preview! Can’t wait for the rest of it!
