Publisher's Summary

He's the best man...and that's the problem.

Kristen Petersen is perfectly fine. She has friends she'd fight to the death for and the very best dog in the world: Stuntman Mike. In fact, everything's calm in the world of Kristen, until she starts to plan her best friend's wedding and meets the best man, Josh Copeland.

Josh is funny, sexy, stands up to her sarcasm, and is always one snack ahead of her hangry. Even Stuntman Mike adores him. But he wants a big family, and Kristen knows children are probably not a part of her future.

She's sure he'd be better off with someone else, someone who can give him everything he wants, so Kristen keeps him at arm's length: in the Friend Zone. But as their attraction grows, it's harder and harder to resist falling for the man who seems to be everything she's not allowed to have....

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.

Perfect for fans of Christina Lauren, Helen Hoang, Sally Thorne, Jo Watson and Sophie Kinsella.

Critic Reviews

"Harnessing sass, heartfelt struggle and unapologetic sexuality, Jimenez's debut is as hysterical as it is tear-jerking." (Publishers Weekly)

Agree with other reviews

I deeply respect what it means to write a good book and know that my frustrations in this story are probably signs of a captivating/emotive experience…but I agree with other reviews. The issues are repetitive and the consistent lack of communication and neurotic behaviour of the main character gets old. If anything, it triggered more thoughts of trauma bonding and how women can build an unrealistic idea of what men ‘should’ persist through if they love you. I found that highly frustrating. However, I still respect the evocative nature the author managed out of me.

The voice actors were a tad annoying. The constant intensity in their voice was a bit ott. MUCH preferred her other novels 😊

Great characters but a bit repetitive

Great story idea but gets a bit repetitive and frustrating as to why they can’t be together.

Listened in one go

Loved the dialogue between the characters other than the classic trope of not saying what you really mean but oh well, wouldn’t be a romcom without it!

Meh .. didn’t rate this one

Didn’t like it, found it slow and repetitive. The only thing I did love was that it wasn’t 100% predictable.. authors other works are
Much better this disappointed …
