He’s charming, protective, and he truly gets her. Josh takes Kristen’s quirks and moodiness in style, and is always there to support her without an ounce of judgment. Kristen suffers from chronic pain and I swear my heart ached for her. Even though her tenacity drove me nuts at times, I respected how she lives her life unapologetically. She is sharp as a tack and her bluntness is refreshing and hilarious. Whenever they are together, even the most mundane things are fun.

Their food obsession indulgences, fun times with Kristen’s testy Yorkie, drunken karaoke, and shared pop culture references – I wanted it all. This is a friends to lovers romance, and I fell madly in love with Kristen and Josh’s friendship. Way to knock a debut novel out of the park. I enjoyed Abby Jimenez’s The Friend Zone immensely. 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. 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 only catch: Josh wants a big family someday. He's funny, sexy, never offended by her mile-wide streak of sarcasm, and always one chicken enchilada ahead of her hangry. Planning her best friend's wedding is bittersweet for Kristen-especially when she meets the best man, Josh Copeland. She's also keeping a big secret: facing a medically necessary procedure that will make it impossible for her to have children. Kristen Petersen 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.
