The Friend Zone

“Shawn, I want you to know that if I needed mouth to mouth, and you were the last paramedic on Earth, I prefer donations made to the ASPCA in lieu of flowers at my funeral.”

I'm not even going to sit here and try pretend that I didn't laugh out loud at this. Sassy and funny main characters are my bread and butter so the minute I read this in the second chapter I knew I was going to enjoy this book. The fact that there were firefighters included in this just made everything ten times better.

As someone who has suffered a miscarriage and recently realised that I have an infertility it actually meant a lot to me to actually see it portrayed in a story as I haven't seen it done yet. It's a topic that needs to be shown in so many more books so that people like me can see main protagonists going through the same things.

“Love is for better or worse. It's always and no matter what. The no-matter-what just happened first for us.”

This book made me cry, it made me laugh. I became so attached to the characters and what happened to them. It explores heavy issues that I don't read in other books very often. This holds a very special place in my heart.
