The Friend Zone by Abby Jimenez Book Summary

A slow burn, hilarious and heartwarming romantic comedy that Tessa Bailey calls "a romance for the ages!" from the New York Times bestselling author of Yours Truly. 

Kristen Peterson doesn't do drama, will fight to the death for her friends, and has no room in her life for guys who just don't get her. She's also keeping a big secret: facing a medically necessary procedure that will make it impossible for her to have children.

Planning her best friend's wedding is bittersweet for Kristen -- especially when she meets the best man, Josh Copeland. He's funny, sexy, never offended by her mile-wide streak of sarcasm, and always one chicken enchilada ahead of her hangry. Even her dog, Stuntman Mike, adores him. The only catch: Josh wants a big family someday. Kristen knows he'd be better off with someone else, but as their attraction grows, it's harder and harder to keep him at arm's length.

The Friend Zone will have you laughing one moment and grabbing for tissues the next as it tackles the realities of infertility and loss with wit, heart, and a lot of sass.

Loved this book!!!. I loved this book, I read this in a matter of days and just couldnā€™t stop thinking about the characters. Highly recommend

Loved. Iā€™m not so much of a book reader but I read this book in a week! I could not put this book down. Truly amazing. Canā€™t wait to read book 2!

Heartbreaking. This book had me rolling with laughter and was just so well written. I love both Kris and Josh so much. Great characters. Very strong and funny... The ending of course I am super happy about but some parts just gutted me. I was shocked and still canā€™t stop thinking about them. This book had me laughing and in tears. 100% recommend

Wow. Laugh.. cry and hope. This book will pull at you

The Best!. I initially picked this book to read because I want to support Latinx authors and was looking for a good romantic comedy. I didnā€™t have high expectations since Iā€™ve read almost 80 books this year so far and have been consistently disappointed. This book is by far the best book Iā€™ve read this year. It has all the essentials Iā€™m looking for in a good book - character development, realistic and relatable characters, lol humor, sexual tension, and unexpected plot twists. I actually laughed out loud and cried while reading this book. I will definitely be reading anything and everything by this author.

The Friend Zone. I would read this book all over again. Thank you, for taking me on a roller coaster ride. I would recommend this book! Great read!

Loved this book!. This is one of those rare books that you want to read forever and never want to end. It had me laughing from witty humor one minute and crying the next. I usually donā€™t write reviews, but highly recommend this one!

Worth the read!. I wasnā€™t sure if I wanted to read this book or not considering the contents, but Iā€™m glad I did! Dealing with fertility issues of my own and knowing Iā€™ll never conceive naturally I was genuinely worried this book might bring up things I didnā€™t want to feel. The book was full of love and laughter as well as tears of happiness. It wasnā€™t your typical sappy happily ever after and yet it was despite the tragedies. It gave the raw , real life, messy parts of love with all relationships. Hell, just go read it!

Wow. I accidentally read this series in reverse, which made certain events so much harder because I knew they were coming. Abby has quickly become one of my favorite authors. Her books are real, fresh, hilarious and make you FEEL so many things. Loved Josh and Kristin, and the setup for Sloane. Beautiful story!

Loved!. Enjoyed this!

All the FEELS. You will laugh hysterically and ugly cry all within the pages of this book! Be prepared! Amazing!

Obsessed. The sweetest story with the best ending. Loved hearing it from Josh and Kristenā€™s perspectives. A must if you like romance.

Best ā€œTictok made meā€ moment. I was very lost in my single empty nester life. So deciding to lose a few minutes of my life in the Tictok app brought me to Stuntman Mike and his mommy whom I wish (with all of my heart) was my next door neighbor. This book is just the beginning of a wonderful relationship. Read the digital and now going to purchase a hard copy for my collection. I highly recommend Abby to send you on the best emotional roller coaster of your life!

Couldnā€™t put it down. Plot twists that were unexpected. Book had a feel to it that made you rooting for the characters. My heart exploded with this book. All emotions felt including ugly crying. Canā€™t wait for the next book.

The friend zone. Amazing book! I could feel the emotions of the characters and so well written!

LOVE. First book to ever make me cry. Really. Loved the story, the heartbreak hurt my heart but I loved the book regardless. Such a great read.

a must read!. this book will have you laughing then crying then angry! it's one of the best books i've ever read and recommend it with all my heart!!!

Please Buy This Book. Iā€™ve been reading a long time, and I read a new book every couple of days. This is the first review Iā€™ve felt compelled to write in months and the only one Iā€™ve ever followed through with. A phenomenal read.

Heartbreakingly Beautiful. Ex marine firefighter who moonlights as a carpenter? YES, please! This book was heartbreakingly beautiful. I absolutely loved the back and forth between Kristen and Josh. This enemies to friends to lovers romance is perfection. I laughed, I sobbed, I felt all the things. I loved the real life situations these characters dealt with. The secondary characters in this were so good I immediately purchased the second book. Highly recommended!

Loved it!. Best book I have read in a while. The writing is amazing! Couldnā€™t put the book down!

Loved it!. Loved this book! The perfect romantic comedy with relatable banter between characters, joy sorrow, and romance! This book will have your heart bursting with joy, laughing, and crying. What a great read! I want more! I followed up with ā€œThe happily ever after playlist,ā€ and loved it too. It was a perfect follow up extension to ā€œThe friend zone.ā€ Abbey Jimenez is my new favorite author!

Excellent. Great story. Get the tissues ready! Youā€™ll laugh and cry.

A must read!. This book had me sobbing throughout its entirety. I love the characters and their passion and stubbornness. A nice reminder that we deserve to be loved despite our insecurities and fears about ourselves. Ugh I am on the verge of tears again ā€” just read it 5/5

Romantic and tear jerker. The romance was there from the beginning. There is moments when you get annoyed with certain characters but the book pulls you in again. Loved the ending and the love between the main characters!

So unexpectedly wonderful.. The cover of this book in no way reflects how emotional and intense it gets. Funny and lighthearted at points, yes. But also so much more. Rarely do I equally love both characters in a story but Josh and Kristen are just everything. You get to know them and theyā€™re easy to fall in love with. Read the book. Iā€™m jealous of those of you who have yet to start it. Itā€™s something special.

loved it!!. this book made me smile so much and made my heart hurt. the good way and the bad way. i felt pain, frustration, happiness, sadness, anxiousness, excitement, and humor. the story was pretty predictable and a bit of a clichĆ©, not to mention very cheesy, but still amazing. if you like that sort of thing, like i surely do, then i definitely recommend this book. itā€™s humorous, sad, predictable, and most of all, lovable. this book surely did not disappoint me, it was absolutely amazing. i know iā€™m going to reread this book in the future. i canā€™t wait for the next book!! (sorry if this review was all scattered everywhere lol)

What. The. Heck. SPOILERS Itā€™s 3 AM right now and you have just made me sad. Very sad. I thought he would recover, but nooooo Even with the happy ending I am still sad Thank you, I guess?

Unrealistic communication. I had high hopes for this book and while I like many aspects of the character development and humor, I just canā€™t get on board with major conflicts that could be alleviated if not entirely solved by honest, adult conversation. I have a hard time with this kind of plot device in even a zany comedy, and it being embedded in an otherwise very realistic story about infertility, intimacy, and friendship made it less believable and more irritating. It made it difficult to empathize with the female protagonist and I ended up scanning through the past third of the book

Heart felt, charming. Great character depth. Read this in one night.

Couldnā€™t put it down!. This book was so easy to read that I couldnā€™t put it down! I could say so much more but donā€™t want to spoil it. My description: romantic, more serious than a comedy, relatable and realistic with the situations presented, young love, the chase at the beginning with romantic mishaps then the ending being sad, thought-provoking (for me at least), but also just what you need to call it a good read! I would recommend to my friends.

Great read. Such a precious ending!

Amazing. SUCH an amazing book!!

Great read... rom com at its finest!. I heard about this book through a social media post (if youā€™ve never had Nadia cakes, come to MN to enjoy!) It was a great read... Through her writing I felt like I truly got to know the characters and understand their dynamics. Canā€™t wait for her next book!

Sooo bad. This was just terrible

Funny and catchy but also cheesy. I didnā€™t expect the twist of events with Brandon, but it did make the story line stronger. The author did a great job of painting the story in front of the reader to picture every detail. I didnā€™t like the fights of the same things over and over, repeating the same thing and the details that just made the plot unnecessarily longer. I think it could have been shorter a bit by omitting the details, and I mean the ā€œcheesyā€ ones. It was a light read after all, and it did bring up good points when exploring femininity, respect, and strength in the book.

LOVED. Sincerely loved every minute of reading this amazing, funny, heartbreaking story. Would definitely recommend!

Read this in one day, couldnā€™t put it down!. Great light-hearted romantic comedy.

ā€œFriendā€ Zone. I cried tears from sadness, and I cried tears from happiness. This book is funny, witty, strong in character development, and so easy to love. I would highly recommend.

Loved it!!. I couldnā€™t put it down!!

Bestseller indeed šŸ’—. Horrible period cramps, death of a loved one, fertility problems... Seriously, this book wasnā€™t what I expected. But itā€™s definitely a good one. Hit me to the core and gave me all the feels. Loved!

Sweet and fun read. First off, the book is very well written and witty, full of diverse moments bound to hit you in the feels. I usually donā€™t read books like this because it was too predictable, but the sentiment and enduring issues hit home for me. The romance is pg13 and kept to a minimum and kept the focus on the plot and emotional aspectsā€”which was a plus. Itā€™s a good, quick read. Should definitely try it and read the book!

WOW.. I thought this book sounded cute when I read the description, so I decided why not read it! Holy crap. My expectations were blown out of the water. This book made me laugh and cry. You immediately get sucked in and feel right along with the characters! Periods and self-love... 2 things you donā€™t read about everyday! Every girl should read because of how beautiful this story is, but also because of how strong Kristen is as she endures with uncertainty about her future and learns how to love herself, not matter what she is able or unable to do. Seriously, just read this book. You will not regret it!!!

Best book ever. Okay I say that about every book Abby writes. I love that she makes me laugh cry sad and incredibly happy. She writes about real life experiences with such heart. I being one of many women with infertility horrible periods this book describes what so many of us have gone through. acceptance is not defeat it doesnā€™t make us less of a woman it does allow us to move and find our own hea. Read this book itā€™s special.

Heart warming.. I enjoyed these characters, and I was moved by the emotions of the story.

Fun but this is not how LA works.. Look, this was lovely, but I grew up and currently live literally where this book takes place, like in these charactersā€™ neighborhood. DTLA is not 15 minutes from Canoga Park, even at 2am (~30 minutes at *best*, and Iā€™m looking at about 5am on a Sunday). You cannot run from Roscoe to the donut shop on Vanowen conveniently or in a reasonable amount of time to make that your meetup spot after light vandalism (itā€™s not close and the lights here are roughly twenty hours long, and itā€™s not pedestrian friendly). The Simi Valley parts really killed me, though. Simi Valley does not have avenues with boutiques, salons, and certainly not restaurants with ice sculptures. The average Simi Valley street is lined with strip malls, and there are about four nice-ish restaurants no fancy Angeleno would actually consider fancy. Sutterā€™s Mill has great fried cheesecake but your average bougie person is going to Westlake, maybe Thousand Oaks, if sheā€™s leaving Los Angeles County for a nice meal. But honestly, no bougie people I know here go much past Agoura Hills unless theyā€™re going all the way up to Santa Barbara or Ojai for a weekend. Donā€™t get me wrong, Ventura County has great food, but itā€™s thoroughly and historically disregarded by LA.

Such a great book!. I just finished reading this book and would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a quick read. The book constantly portrayed all emotions as it switched the perspectives of the characters! All around a great book and would love for there to be a sequel!

Wow, just wow. Iā€™ve felt so many emotions reading this book. I even had a good cry. Even though some pivotal moments were predictable, I ate it all up. Didnā€™t think I would like it at first based on the first interaction of the main characters, but it was totally worth the read.

Must read!!!. Itā€™s been a while since I shed tears for a book. I didnā€™t hysterically cry, but the tears were there. I couldnā€™t put it down and Iā€™m currently writing a small review at 03:33 am. Itā€™s an easy read, beautiful characters, and even though it has some clichĆ©s this book still managed to give plot twists. Canā€™t wait to read Sloanā€™s book!!

Great characters. Funny moments and cute story

The Friend Zone. Absolutely wonderful!!! I loved how Abby can write a rom-com. I loved the twist and turns along with the amazing love stories.
