About this listen

'No one does funny, emotional, life-affirming love stories quite like Abby Jimenez. She just keeps outdoing herself' EMILY HENRY

'Funny and poignant, relatable and aspirational, heart-tugging and satisfying. It is, in a word, perfect' CHRISTINA LAUREN

'Abby Jimenez's words . . . sprinkle humour and warmth all over my life' ALI HAZELWOOD

'The sort of emotionally resonant love story I adore - I was captivated from the very first page' PAIGE TOON

.........................

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 . . .

I listened to this because I'd loved Part of your world by the same author. About half way, I was a little bit bored and was finding it all a bit predictable until, finally, something more dramatic happens with one of the characters. I saw it coming, but I still cried. It gave the story some 3 dimensionality and saved it. So, overall, I'd say it was a good book.

Very good

This was my first book from this author and I'll definitely be checking out other books. Really enjoyed this story. Felt like it had a perfect blend of humour, romance and heartache, and the last half in particular had me hooked to binge the rest of it. Great characters and fantastic narrators, with some excellent dog merch jokes sprinkled throughout.

Brilliant Blend

Please heed the trigger warnings. A beautifully told story. The narrators were spectacular.

I've read quite a few books from the author, and she is quickly becoming a firm favourite.

I laughed, I cried. I laughed some more.

More on the heavy side and less romantic comedy than other books by Abby Jimenez but still funny in places and a lot story and good pacing

Good themes and no middle of the book lull
