*** REVIEW ***

⭐⭐⭐⭐/5 stars

When I read The Friend Zone earlier in the year, I loved it and knew this was an author to watch. I also expected her follow-up story, The Happy Ever After Playlist to keep me enraptured.

I was not disappointed!

The story follows Kristen's best friend, Sloan two years after a tragic event leaves her in a state of catatonic grief. She finds a dog in a rather unique way (he jumps through the sunroof of her car) and starts looking for his owner. Through a series of text messages and phone calls she finds Tucker's owner (a hot musician named Jason AKA Jaxon Waters). When they meet, sparks fly.

I loved Sloan and Jason's story. It left me with many laughs, some tears, and an abundance of sighs.

Make sure you read TFZ first for background information.

Thank you to Netgalley and Grand Central Publishing for the free e-copy in exchange for an honest review.

I love how this book exposed the idea that nothing is ever exactly what it seems. Grief, trust, friendship, romance and love are never quite as easy or uncomplicated as they seem.
