THE INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER

"A hilarious, tender, and altogether life-affirming gem of a book." --Emily Henry, bestselling author of Beach Read

A brilliant and touching romantic comedy about two polar opposites, one adorable dog, and living every day to its fullest.

When Vanessa Price quit her job to pursue her dream of traveling the globe, she wasn't expecting to gain millions of YouTube followers who shared her joy of seizing every moment. For her, living each day to its fullest isn't just a motto. Her mother and sister never saw the age of 30, and Vanessa doesn't want to take anything for granted.

But after her half sister suddenly leaves Vanessa in custody of her baby daughter, life goes from "daily adventure" to "next-level bad" (now with bonus baby vomit in hair). The last person Vanessa expects to show up offering help is the hot lawyer next door, Adrian Copeland. After all, she barely knows him. No one warned her that he was the Secret Baby Tamer or that she'd be spending a whole lot of time with him and his geriatric Chihuahua.

Now she's feeling things she's vowed not to feel. Because the only thing worse than falling for Adrian is finding a little hope for a future she may never see.

10 Stars - Wonderful character and relationship development

Reviewed in the United States on July 15, 2024

This is the third book in the Friend Zone series and the third book by Abby Jimenez that I've read. The first two were wonderful. They had me laughing, loving the characters, and sometimes wanting to pull my hair with frustration.

Life's Too Short took me on a deeper journey. I've just finished it and have tears in my eyes. The ending has taken a little nip out of my heart, like things in life can. I'm sitting with the story feeling slightly dazed.

This story is beautiful, warm, realistic, funny, and fun. I've read excerpts from it to three friends and two family members so far because the story is so funny and authentic. All of it. Especially if you enjoy people's or dogs' uniqueness, or savor the crazy variety and richness of life. From my 96-year-old aunt to the friend who wants to read this story, each person I read excerpts to loves it. I have more family and friends I will read parts to. It's too wonderful to not be shared with all my loved ones.

My heart still feels nipped.

Thank you, Abby Jimenez.

all the feels in this book

I really enjoyed this one! A lot more than book 2 in this series. It kept my attention and I felt invested in the stories and relationships and was eager to see what would end up happening. It was also full of good reminders that we never know what tomorrow will bring, so to love our people well and not take them for granted. This was a sweet read that made me smile, laugh and cry - it was also a quick easy read. Abby tackled a tough, heavy topic with a lot of care. Would recommend!

This did not hit as hard as the previous books. I was really pushing to finish it. I do love the writing of Abby Jimenez. She really knows how to infuse serious topics and plot lines with both humor and devastation.

This was a good book, however I just felt that the first two had more of an emotional punch. Although the content of this book is similar in terms of loving someone who is going through something that is life changing, I just didn’t find the love story as provoking.

Regardless of my personal feelings on the story, the writing was excellent. I love the humor that Abby is able to use as comedic relief in these really heavy hitting emotional moments.

This series has really put Abby Jimenez on the map for me and I can’t wait to read her more recent books.

Happy Reading, Friends xx

Super cute, feel good book

Reviewed in the United States on August 25, 2024

4.5 stars...This is the 3rd book in The Friend Zone series and Abby Jimenez's writing has improved (for me) with each book. This is my favorite of the 3 book series. Tropes include: he falls first, slow burn, friends to lovers, found family, second change romance, tragic past. Vanessa is a YouTube star who feels her life will be too short (due to a familial illness) and lives her life to the fullest and recording it for her Youtube channel. Her YouTube recording is put on hold when she has to take care of her niece and through circumstances meets her neighbor, Adrian. Both Vanessa and Adrian want a no dating friends for different reasons, but both soon find their attraction growing. Each have their own past and present issues to overcome and together they work to help each other recognize and work through these issues. I normally am not a huge fan of kids in stories, but the baby in this one really softens our MMC is such a sweet way. This is a great feel-good story.

I laughed. I cried (a lot). I fell in love with all the characters. I didn’t want it to end, but even the ending was superb. Abby, please never stop writing. I’m too hooked.
