Reader reviews for The Friend Zone

Review summary

This seller has earned a 3.42 of 5 Stars rating from internet customers.
3.42 / 5 (133 total reviews)

Reviewers were split on Abby Jimenez’s The Friend Zone. Many praised the sharp banter, brisk pacing, dual POV, and Josh’s patience, with some readers appreciative of seeing infertility and chronic pain addressed. A substantial number, however, criticized the pervasive "not like other girls" framing, objectifying language, and an avoidable miscommunication plot; they also found the third?act tragedy and a "miracle pregnancy" ending implausible or hurtful to those facing infertility, citing uneven tone and regressive messaging, with several DNFing.

Readers say this book is:
divisive quick read funny banter emotional triggering problematic stereotypes miscommunication-heavy implausible ending tonal whiplash strong chemistry

From the publisher

A slow burn, hilarious and heartwarming romantic comedy from the New York Times bestselling author of Yours Truly.

"A romance for the ages" --Tessa Bailey, bestselling author of It Happened One Summer

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.

"Your next favorite romantic comedy ...The Friend Zone is that rare beach read with tons of heart that will make you laugh and cry in equal parts." --PopSugar

"Your next rom-com to obsess and cry over." --Cosmopolitan

About the author

Abby Jimenez is a Food Network winner and USA Today bestselling author. She founded Nadia Cakes out of her home kitchen back in 2007. The bakery has since gone on to win numerous Food Network competitions and has amassed an international cult following.

Abby loves a good romance, coffee, doglets, and not leaving the house.
