Synopsis: They say that time heals all wounds, but for Sloan Monroe, that isn't the case at all. It's been two years since Sloan lost her fiance Brandon in a horrific motorcycle accident. In those two years, Sloan has become used to just existing. She has lost her self and her identity and most days she just feels lost. But then all of that changes when a dog (named Tucker) literally jumps through the sunroof of her car and wiggles his way into her heart.
Sloan tries to track down the dog owner but after leaving multiple voicemails over the course of several weeks she decides that she is going to keep the dog for herself since his owner clearly doesn't want him back.
Jason has been off the grid for two weeks, traveling all over the globe as a famous musician. When Jason finally is able to charge his phone, he is bombarded by text messages and voicemails from some random woman who claims to have his dog, and worst of all - she says she's not giving him back.
Jason reaches out to Sloan to clear the air, and get his dog back, and at first, Sloan wants nothing to do with Jason, but then she begins to change her mind and there seems to be some chemistry happening between them.
Review: When I found out that this book was the sequel to The Friend Zone, I couldn't wait to get my hands on it. I was excited to see that the story focused on Sloan and her life following the accident. I'm not really a dog person but watching Sloan and Jason build a relationship because of Tucker, I couldn't help but have a soft spot in my heart for him.
“I was a ghost, wandering the rooms of a museum of the person I used to be, and Jason was like one of the living who could somehow see me and decided to wander the place with me.”

I loved the storyline of this book. I liked that the storyline was more light and airy compared to The Friend Zone. I fell in love with the characters and I really enjoyed seeing Kristin and Josh make multiple cameos. Jason was such a sweetheart in the story and you could tell how much he cared about Sloan. His gestures were so sweet and attentive. I couldn't help but swoon and smile, in fact, my cheeks hurt so bad from smiling through the entire story. I cannot wait to read the third book in this series, set to be published in 2021.
