The Friend Zone by Abby Jimenez (2019) 367 pages
Kristen is running a successful niche pet supply company called Doglet Nation through the Internet. She's also waiting for her boyfriend to finish his deployment in the military and move in with her. Unfortunately, uterine fibroids are making her life hell, so she's got a hysterectomy scheduled for shortly after her best friend Sloan's wedding in a few weeks. When she meets the groom's best man, Josh, they have an instant attraction for each other. But when she learns that Josh wants a houseful of children which she can't provide for him, she forces herself to consider Josh as just a friend, even though it's clear that he's much more compatible to her than her boyfriend is.
There were several points in this novel when I just wanted to reach into the book and shake her, to have her really open up to Josh. But I can get that she didn't want him to give up his dream for children on her account, and then later blame her. The chapters are divided into Kristen and Josh's points of view, and the character development is solid. Can love win out, or is it best to be practical?
