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!

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...

Welcome!

Welcome welcome welcome! Thank you so much for stopping by and checking out my little soul project. First thing you need to know is that I absolutely love reading! Therefore, this blog will consist of mostly book reviews and the like. Occasionally you may see a lifestyle post or "little bits" of my life. While I am no literary genius, I truly enjoy writing. This blog is my outlet of expression and a fun little side project. Also, I think I'm funny sometimes. I hope I can convey that through my writing, so that you will agree! A little bit about me: I am a 25 year old stressed out, sleep deprived, overly caffeinated pharmacy student who is hopefully (fingers crossed) graduating in 2020. Although this blog is not meant to be connected to my professional pharmacy career, I may get a little scientific from time to time. I'll try to keep that to a minimum tho! ;) I am going on 5 years of marriage to my best friend whom I met and fell madly in love with when I was 1...

On The Rocks By Kandi Steiner

On the Rocks is set in small town Tennessee, and I can’t lie and say that’s not why I chose to read it. It is my first book by this author, and I am super excited to read more by her. I followed her on Instagram, @kandisteiner, shortly after finishing this read, and I recommend you follow her on there as well! Great content and really fun person!    This book is well written, fun and a great romance! I gave it 5 fully-deserving stars. Steiner’s writing is easy to read and captures her characters intricacies, naturally causing the reader to fall in love with them. The story line was well developed and complete. Steiner conveys all the right feelings to you through her writing so that you are laughing and crying right along with our favorite people. Our main girl, Ruby Grace (love, love, love double names!) has some really great qualities. At first, I was worried that she was too young and naive to delve into too deeply, but I was wrong! Her struggles to ...
