I loved this book. It was cute, sweet, lighthearted, while still being heartbreaking and profound. Jason and Sloan are the perfect main characters. Their journey together is one worth the read.

It was a good book, the story had me on my toes at the end, but. It doesn’t feel like an Abby book. I dunno the tone is different, and I felt like it was a lot less tied together like her latest books have been. Kinda disjointed. It also started in one story, and we ended almost completely somewhere else. I still liked the story, but it wasnt what I was expecting based on her other books. And (this is a personal thing I’m sure) I just struggled to connect to this couple, there was a lot going on, and some things went unaddressed, and boundaries were pushed in a way that bothered me.

Perfect. No notes.

This book made me feel every single emotion and I was so immersed in this story. My favorite Abby Jimenez so far. The characters are so lovable. After The Friend Zone, I was really rooting for Sloan to find her happily ever after. As a dog lover, Tucker was such a perfect addition to this story.

The perfect sequel to The Friend Zone, telling the rest of Sloan’s story after Brandon’s death. I love that she got a happily ever after with her friends, a man who adores her, and a super sweet dog.
