A review by the_vegan_bookworm
The Friend Zone by Abby Jimenez

Did not finish book. Stopped at 35%.
This book is layered with internalized misogyny and the praising of the "cool girl" over all other women (while shaming those other  women for daring to exist and/or interact with the men of the novel). The main character is also emotionally unfaithful, because she meets a hot guy and likes him better than her partner. Monogamy isn't for everyone, but cheating on your partner (even if not physically) is immoral and cruel. There is also a huge focus on being a successful woman only if you're able to have kids biologically.

There are more interesting romance books that don't rely on such obvious and disappointing tropes.
