Reviews with content warning for Car accident - The Friend Zone

While I loved the story overall, the FMC was withholding a significant issue in her life from the MMC. It put him through a lot of heartache, and her selfish reasons got to be tedious. I'm not a fan of the miscommunication trope. I was glad when she finally revealed her issue, and they were able to resolve/address it together. I enjoyed the story but didn't care for the FMC.

Incredible read. One of the best books I’ve read so far this year, and I’m about 66 books into this year if memory serves. I physically cried TWICE while reading this book 😭 The characters and their stories just feel THAT real, lovable, and relatable. When they were heartbroken, so was I.

Kristen is one of the most relatable FMCs I’ve read about in a while. A FMC with reproductive health issues AND OCD?!? Hello?!? Am I looking in the mirror?!? Crazy how you don’t realize how important it is to see yourself represented on the page until you actually see it done and then you are SO grateful for it. (For the record, both topics are handled very well).

Josh is a phenomenal MMC. He’s exactly the type of guy I’d date in real life, so I was hooked right from the beginning 😂 That’s not always the case. I don’t always like the MMC, or even if I do, I might like them for the FMC, but they’re usually not like anyone I’d date for myself. But Josh… he’s very similar to the men I date in real life LOL gotta love him 😂

Sloan and Brandon were great side characters. I enjoyed their arcs and personalities. Their friendships with each other and with the main characters were deep enough to be impactful without detracting from the storyline to the point where they got annoying or something. It’s nice to see MCs have real friends outside of their partners. Very well done.

Check trigger warnings if you are more sensitive.
