A review by emilytrnr
The Friend Zone by Abby Jimenez

Did not finish book. Stopped at 50%.
This book felt misogynist and also had some distasteful offhand comments that turned me off. I also felt like, in the year 2019, why was a book being published that was SO condemning of all things feminine? I was confused about the inclusion of Tyler when it seemed a non-issue, and for all the “I’m not a cheater” talk there was definitely content that veered onto emotional affair territory. After half of the book I felt like I knew where 90% of the plot was going, almost all the tension was gone, and the relationships and humor felt geared towards a high schooler’s understanding of romance and jokes. Not for me.
