Reviews with content warning for Drug abuse - The Happy Ever After Playlist

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.

POINTS DOCKED OFF FOR THE THIRD ACT BREAKUP!!!! JASON YOU KNOW WHAT YOU DID.

Besides that though I love, love, LOVED this novel. The chemistry between Jason and Sloan right off the bat was incredible. They were so damn funny together and when they finally met up I about damn near cried. I did not expect the book to take the very emotional turn it does in the latter half. I did not like Lola throughout the whole novel and then ended up wanting to BURN THE WORLD DOWN FOR HER. She was a product of the situation she was put in and I don't blame her at all for what she did/said.

Anyways, I'm endlessly glad that my friend bought this for me to read!!!

This book was okay. It started off really strong and then around the 50% mark it lost my interest a bit. I didn’t feel much attachment to these characters or their love story. The ending was really cute but it felt rushed. Solid 3⭐️ read. Still looking forward to the next book in the series.

Genre: Contemporary romance, fiction

My summary: Sloan is still grieving two years after a motorcycle accident that killed her fiancé, Brandon. When a dog, Tucker, jumps into her car, she tries to reach Jason, the owner on his tags, and after two weeks of no luck decides that maybe Brandon sent her Tucker on the anniversary of his accident. Jason, who had been on a two week backpacking trip with no cell service, is both devastated and relieved to get Sloan’s messages that she has Tucker. Still at work in Australia for two more weeks, they start talking and texting about Tucker and it turns into more. When Jason finally returns to Los Angeles and reunites with Tucker and meets Sloan, they fall hard and fast for each other. But Jason is also Jaxon Waters, rising to blockbuster stardom as a singer, and life on the road touring may break them.

My thoughts: Sloan’s story in The Friend Zone was absolutely crushing. So seeing her get a happy ever after with a famous rock star was a fun ride. Although there was a point where I was pretty sure Abby Jimenez shoved my heart through a meat grinder, I really enjoyed the rest of the story. This book made me feel all the feels and I enjoyed it a lot more than The Friend Zone and I’m looking forward to the next one.

This book gets me every time. I’m not the biggest fan of ‘rockstar’ romances, especially when they take place on tour. Because of this, the ones that I do love are particularly captivating, well written, etc. This applies big time to the Happy Ever After Playlist

This book is so special and I always relish my time spent with these characters. Watching Sloan rebuild after an unspeakable loss is a beautiful thing. The balance of emotion, humour, and romance in this book is perfect (as is always the case for an Abby Jimenez book)

This book jumped into my heart like Tucker in a sunroof and I am not at all mad about it
