I loved Kristen and Josh’s story, even if it frustrated me along the way. There were some elements that I wasn’t wild about. Kristen and the way Josh described her gave off “not like other girls” energy, which is never my favourite. The lack of communication also frustrated me, but I can chalk that up to Kristen wanting to protect herself (and Josh, even if she took that too far)
But at the end of the day, I always enjoy my time reading this and I love Kristen and Josh (and stuntman Mike!). It always makes me excited to pick up Happy Ever After playlist so I can spend more time in this world

I'm going to have a hard time rating this one, but I'll try.
The first 80% of The Friend Zone was very much like your standard romance book. A stubborn FMC, a persistent alpha male MMC, and some issues and misunderstandings preventing them from being together.
This part was pretty frustrating at times. If these two could've just sat down and had a frank conversation like adults, they could've been together so much sooner. I understand not wanting to share this kind of thing firsthand, but personally, I felt this book went a bit too far with it.
I did love Josh, though. He was sweet and thoughtful. A bit overly alpha male bordering on stalkerish at times, but that's pretty standard for a book boyfriend
Then, the last 20% of this book happened, and honestly, it hit too close to home for me personally. My own fault, I should've looked closer at the trigger warnings than I did.
Objectively, it was well written, pretty close to accurate, and it definitely gave me feels.
Overall, I did enjoy The Friend Zone. I may not read the rest, but if this was before my sister had her stroke, I probably would've really enjoyed it and continued
