I usually don't like celebrity romances with the paparazzi/tabloid plot/trial that cause a third act breakup but I really enjoyed this book. Jason was sooooo sweet and patient with Sloane, it was so cute. I had been wanting her story since The Friend Zone and glad she got her happy ever after. I loved that each chapter started with a song. I loved this author's take on grief. Those grieving moments were done in a beautiful way.

I listened to the audiobook of this and loved loved this! The narrators did an amazing job with this book. Tucker the dog wins best wingman ever for his job in this book. Tucker comes into Sloan's life on a horrible day (you learn a lot from book one and should be read to understand the main lady character) but he makes up for the damage by bringing Jason into her life. Jason is a rock star but from Ely, MN so like dream man for anyone but swooooon for me. Like dream book boyfriend material right here!

I loved Friend Zone by Abby but this one was her first book she wrote and wrote Friend Zone after to have the story for this book, you would never guess that . This book I just loved! The writing and story is just perfect. Loved the texting and the banter of how they started to get to know each other before meeting. Love the realness to this story and the rock star life that gets pulled into it all with TMZ and label companies doing shitty things. But I also love his mom and the camping in the Boundary Waters! Even if you are not a huge romance person these two books are worth it to read!

Overall, 5 stars and 3.5 steam.

Thanks to NetGalley, Fovever for the eARC and Libro and Hachette Audio for the audiobook in exchange for an honest review.
