The Friend Zone By Abby Jimenez


            The Friend Zone by Abby Jimenez was recommended to me by so many people, and now I know why! It has two lovable main characters who make you laugh and cry throughout the entire story. The Friend Zone tackles some really tough subjects like infertility, settling for less than true love, and death.
             Our main characters a Maid of Honor/Best Man combo, Kristen and Josh, are ridiculously funny. At 50 pages in, I texted the friend that highly recommended this book and told her about how I couldn’t stop laughing. It's seriously that good! While this book is definitely one that will bring the comedy, it also packs a solid punch with an emotional roller coaster involving infertility, heartbreak, and tragedy. Honestly, my heart broke towards the end of the novel and left me reeling for a few days. To avoid spoilers, I will avoid dropping the name of who this heartbreak surrounds, but will say I am anxiously awaiting Abby’s next book that will be released in 2020. The Friend Zone does allow the reader a happy ending and consolation.
            Not only is this book well written, but it is also very well developed giving the reader a complete story. The characters are dimensional, and you truly feel deeply connected to them all. The story is told from both Kristen’s and Josh’s perspectives, which I personally enjoy. Kristen is such a strong woman role, and watching her develop throughout the novel was very inspiring. Her battle is one that so many women can relate to, and it really hit me hard. Josh is an amazing guy. His struggles and the way he fights for what he wants made me love him even more. I highly recommend this book, and it is one of my favorite reads from 2019!

The Lucky Dress By: Aimee Brown

Emi Harrison, our main girl, is freshly back on the market after her ex-fiancée, Jack, decided to be a sleaze. She is moving on by creating a new life for herself and pushing her broken heart past her worst moment ever. It’s been a year since the big scandal went down, and she is being forced to see Jack again at her brother’s wedding. Throw in an archenemy and what could go wrong, right?! The Lucky Dress   was so fun! A true definition of a RomCom!  When reading a novel, writing skill is very important to me. Overall, Brown did a fantastic job writing this story. I did notice some wording that was off once or twice while reading it (honestly could just be style differences), but it wasn’t enough to affect my opinion of the novel. I really loved how Brown moved forward as well as backward with this book. The flashback scenes allowed me to get to know the characters better as well as understand their emotions. When I started this novel, I had no idea where it was g...

Relatively Sane By Whitney Dineen

Relatively Sane By Whitney Dineen This is the second book in the relatively series by Whitney Dineen. I read it right behind the first book with little lag time between the two. If you do as I did, be prepared for a lot of re-cap. I give this book 3.5 stars rounding to a 4. Our main girl Cat is back in this romcom about the Masterson clan. She is home and looking to start a new life for herself in familiar territory. She has rekindled (kinda, you will see) her relationship with Sam and is excited about being home and with her family. Now she just needs to figure out how she's going to go from a party planner in the big apple to a career in her small hometown.  I was intending on giving this book a 3, but the ending was really good. I felt like the entire first half of the book could have been a couple chapters because it practically went over the majority of what happened in the first book. This allows for people to hop right in to the second book without having to read Relat...

Sorcery of Thorns By Margaret Rogerson

Sorcery of Thorns By Margaret Rogerson did not disappoint! I give this book a full 5 stars, and I am so thrilled I finally picked it up! This book sat on my TBR shelf for about four months. Y’all, that was five months too long! This standalone fantasy novel is uniquely thrilling, humorous, and inspiring.   It’s a must read for all lovers of fantasy!  Elisabeth was raised in the bowels of the library vowing to protect others from the evil of magic. Nathaniel is a sorcerer and the vilest kind, or at least his cold eyes say as much. When Elisabeth has to depend on the person she has grown up despising, she learns more about herself than she ever thought possible. Elisabeth, Nathaniel, and dear, sweet Silas teach us that the world is not always what we are taught and that people do not have to become what they are labeled.     This is Rogerson’s sophomore novel, but the first story I have read by her. This world was created with such care and detail ...
