The Friend Zone

I was reading the end of this book on my phone in the doctor's office this morning and trying not to sob. I'm wearing my bookshelf earrings today, so the doc asked what I was reading, and I mentioned that I've read most of Jimenez's books and also that she's the worst because she breaks your heart and makes you cry, then fixes it and makes you cry AGAIN when everything is better.

I did not see the third act of this coming AT ALL, and it was DEVASTATING.

I'm docking a star because Kristen's refusal to Have a Conversation went on and on and on and on. It's not even that the Conversation would have solved things, necessarily, but I'm always on the side of more conversations. And then at least she and Josh would have been on the same page.
