The Friend Zone by Abby JimenezMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
I was incredibly excited when I heard that Abby Jimenez was writing this book. I first learned of Abby's wit and charm through social media posts related to her bakery, and after reading a description for "The Friend Zone," I couldn't wait to get my hands on it. Thankfully, the wait was more than worth it - I LOVED this book! I hated that real life kept interrupting me because I didn't want to put it down. I laughed, I cried, and I fell in love with each and every one of these characters.
There is so much I want to say about this book, but at the same time I don't want to say much at all because I wouldn't want to ruin the twists and turns for those who have not yet read it. Generally speaking, however, the writing is excellent and incredibly mature. I found it difficult to believe that it was actually a debut novel! Also, I love how the book manages to be both funny and poignant at the same time. It deals with a number of very serious subjects, but delicately and realistically.
I am so happy that Abby is writing a follow-up to this book! I can't wait to find out what happens to these characters next.
