This means we don’t get to see them as a happy couple for very long because we get to the ANGST.Jason & Sloan get together so quickly and we have so many time jumps.Jimenez lives for miscommunication, which I get is a big trope in romance, I felt like it was over the top in this novel (and in TFZ).There were a few jokes that sat with me the wrong way (which being an arc could be edited out).This woman has gone through hell and I respect her so much and loved seeing her build her life back up again. He starts the novel being the IDEAL man & then…well this is the positive section.How Sloan chooses happiness and how we explore the themes of how it is can be a lot of work to be happy.I’m so mad her tattoos are not on the cover *eyeroll*.

That Sloan has tattoos! So many times in romance novels the guys have tattoos, but aside from like one singular tattoo, the girls do not! Sloan has a full on sleeve.Tucker the dog! I loved that Sloan finds Jason’s dog and gets so attached.

Abby Jimenez is funny and it truly comes through well in her books.I just love flirting over texting done well in novels.The beginning was SO GOOD! Sloan & Jason’s flirty banter was a delight and so much fun to read.Trigger Warnings: Self Harm, minor groping But, Jason’s music career is bigger than Sloan realizes and he is just getting more and more famous. They start engaging is some flirty banter and have a strong connection. Jason is getting back from Australia where he was on tour and realizes that his dog got out. She finds a lost dog and tries to contact his owner, but no one is claiming him.

So if this review is missing something blame Past Tree who was frustrated while reading and took notes too fast.īrief summary: Sloan, lost her fiancé two years ago and is still struggling in getting her life together. (Thanks to Forever Publishing & NetGalley for an eARC)įair warning: most of my notes I took while reviewing make NO SENSE. As I said in my review and I’ll say again, I truly think I went into the book with the wrong expectations which impacted my enjoyment of the story.Įven though TFZ wasn’t my cup of tea, I was a big fan of Abby Jimenez’s writing and thus was excited to read The Happily Ever After Playlist. So I reviewed The Friend Zone last year (review here) and it was sort of an unpopular opinion. The Happy Ever After Playlist by Abby Jimenez
