The Happy Ever After Playlist

I really liked this in the beginning and there was a solid flow but DAMN the arguments that sloan and jason had were kind of ridiculous 😭 like how are we full blown adults who can’t communicate!!!

I did really enjoy how abby jimenez tackled sloan’s grief and her relationship with jason when they started getting together though. that was sweet.

I liked better then the first one, maybe cause I’ve always dreamt have having my own bf as a musical artist so this was me living my dreams through Sloan. 😅

Still a great book, just not my favorite out of all her other books.

Something about Abby Jimenez’s writing just makes me fall so deeply in love with the stories. I love interconnected stand-alones and she thrives at making everyone’s love stories feel uniquely theirs.

it gets messy.

This book was pretty great. Some parts felt a little cringe to read or a little too much but other than that I enjoyed it a lot. It was a quick read, and I definitely enjoyed this one more than the first book of the series.

I cried I love it

This book started off seemingly fast and like a lot of other romances but by the time it ended I think it was perfectly structured and I loved it. The characters were so perfect and it was just a page turning book

screaming, crying, throwing up!!! 😭😭

Title says happy, I still cried.

Well it started out strong. I liked their banter in the beginning. Maybe that's where the book should have ended. After they actually got together it just went downhill. Too much drama. Too much angst. The relationship is too hot and cold. It's not healthy and maybe they are better as pen pals? Having this angle of a famous person was just too much. Yet another book I hated that focused on "famous people". It's a shame because up until all of the drama, I was rather enjoying the book. It made sense that the editor requested she write the first book to explain this one. I thought she did a great job at showing her struggle with grief. Unfortunately, the author, for some reason, felt like there was not enough angst and drama so she piled it on. (view spoiler)[ That break up was so stupid! Why even lie? You pressured her this whole time and now you decide to lie just so she would leave? Bye. So childish. Just talk things out. (hide spoiler)]

my favorite book of the year , i cried so hard, literally bought another copy because mine had water damage

4.25⭐️ let me just say that i think sloan was done dirty in the friend zone. my heart broke for her. with that being said…fuck Brandon HELLO JASON now this book had me at the beginning i was ready to give it five stars. the flirting and overall easy and funny relationship UGH!! was it a bit insta lovey? yeah but i eat that shit up. what fell flat for for me was the ending y’all were just doing too much. what i really appreciated in this book was the whole “yeah my husband is died but I’m not going to completely cut myself off from love” there was no comparing the two and i loved that Sloan could separate them. also i am just so proud of her in general and the resilience and strength she found in herself bcs in the first book I was WORRIED. overall this book gave me all the romcom feels and i enjoyed basically every second.

I am absolutely loving this series!!! These characters and storylines would make an amazing tv series!!

Tropes: love after loss, instalove

I just loved this book. Every chapter starts with a song which I think really helps sets the mood. The characters were so fun and I think you really feel it between them because of the constant banter. It makes them feel like a real, authentic couple. I didn’t love the third act breakup because it gave me such bad emotional whiplash, but the story is so adorable and the HEA is just chefs kiss

Gives me total classic romcom vibes.

This is in a series, but I read it as a stand-alone and didn’t think I was missing anything.

🌶️🌶️🌶️/5

Not too many scenes and doesn’t take up the whole book, but it’s still there and it’s still hot

3.5 omg,,, the last chapter and the epilogue tho,,, gaaah i cri,,,

i really loved this book. reading ‘the friend zone’ knowing sloan was the main character in this book made me so excited for this series of interconnected standalones. although the drama in the last half of the book became slightly repetitive/overwhelming towards the end, i am so happy jason and sloan got their happy ending. sloan’s journey of grief from the end of ‘the friend zone’ to the progress she made in her own book was truly insightful and inspiring. it was great to see this portrayed in a contemporary romcom. abby jiminez has a running theme of “happy happy happy BOOM SADNESS” in her books & i only have ‘part of your world’ left to read from her works so i can’t wait to see how she breaks my heart in that one :)

I can’t remember the last time a book made me actually sob. Form tears? Sure. But this book had me bawling like a baby. The characters felt so real. You could feel the grief, pain, and love through every word.

I really enjoyed this one and find Abby Jimenez’s books to be sooo bingeable. BUT the conflict in this one is not great. This is not something I would personally ever forgive so I had trouble buying into the resolution sadly. A great story and fun couple but not my favorite by this author!

3.5 ⭐️ Very cute, of course. Only docked marks for 1) many moments of wanting to yell into the book "why can't you just communicate this! it would solve everything!" and 2) I hate when things get good right at the epilogue and then you're left with wanting more happiness and less drama. Would recommend this book though if you are into this sorta thing!

OH GOOD LORD HELP ME!! Abby Jimenez, BIG FAT THANK YOU FOR THIS BOOK! You don’t know what this book do to me, hours of laughing my ass off in the beginning of the books, half of it was swooning over Jason & Sloan flirtship to relationships to on-tourship and crying my heart out when something happened between them (not going to reveal about what) and so happy it hurts at the end. I’m happy with the ending of it but it hurts because it ends. I LOVE THIS BOOK SO MUCH!! ❤️❤️ 5 Stars ⭐️

Abby Jimenez is REALLY good at creating book boyfriends :) first half of the book is a very cute, run-of-the-mill romcom. Second half of the book is dramatic and full of feels, with just the right amount of pining. The story is not only about romance. It’s about loss, grief, acceptance, moving on. This is the second book I’ve read written by Abby Jimenez, and there’s just something about her writing style that sucks you in and keeps you wanting for more. She makes you feel what the characters are feeling. Magical. Love it.

"Come Back. . . Be Here" by Taylor Swift I love that the book wasn't just about Sloan finding love again but also about Sloan finding herself and living for herself. and Jason was wow! overwhelmingly devoted and in love with Sloan
