The Friend Zone by Abby Jimenez
5.0

Oh, this book. Abby Jimenez ALWAYS takes the Romance Genre and blows it wide open, adding real life complications, emotions, and heartaches right next to laugh-out-loud moments and deeply emotional romance.

In this book the heroine battles debilitating medical struggles that take a tole both physically and emotionally. This topic is so seldom addressed within Romance, but the author tackles it with honesty, complexity, and a raw beauty. This pain and heartache is seamlessly blended with the wit, humor, and swoony moments that are a hallmark of Jimenez's writing.

Add one seriously hot leading man, a girl friendship that is amazing, and a small dog that you will adore and this book becomes the best read you will have all year.
