.........................
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 'hourly nappy change'. 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.

PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Jimenez delivers a swoony and heartfelt third Friend Zone romance (after The Happy Ever After Playlist) about navigating life's difficulties. Vanessa Price is a 28-year-old YouTube star who travels the world using her platform to raise money and awareness for ALS. With a 50% chance that she has inherited the disease, she's determined to live her best life now because she may not make it to age 30. But her adventures are cut short when her half-sister drops off Vanessa's infant niece, Grace, at her door and never comes back, catapulting Vanessa into the role of mother figure overnight. Vanessa's neighbor, the sexy and successful lawyer Adrian Copeland, is a workaholic with little time for a personal life until an earsplitting four a.m. meltdown from Grace brings him to Vanessa's door with an offer of help. Vanessa and Adrian's meet-cute develops into a steadfast friendship and eventually a slow-burn romance. But with Vanessa's health deteriorating, will their relationship survive after Adrian finds out that Vanessa may not? Jimenez masterfully blends heavy issues and humor, lacing the tear-jerking heartache with sass and sarcasm. Series fans and newcomers alike will be moved by this emotional rom-com.
Customer Reviews
Loved but didn’t Love LOVE like her first two
I think this book is great, a nice easy read. This part of the trilogy didn’t have me captured needing to read from start to finish in one sitting. I believe due to just finding out about this book and falling head over heals for books 1 & 2 (The Friend Zone & The Happily Ever After Playlist), I was expecting the characters to be more involved in this part, but sadly, they where not, a lovely few mentions and meetings, but not even a secondary character. I believe this is why it didn’t rate so high in my books, possibly if I had read one after the other. The book is lovely, and I would recommend it for someone to read but I believe my expectations were so high that nothing could really actually live up to it.
The author is amazing, and other books of hers are amazing; I will definitely reread this book and enjoy it.
Loved it!
Loved this book by Abby, the characters were great, and a difficult topic was handled well
Thoroughly enjoyed
Never met an Abbey Jimenez book I didn’t like and this one was no exception. I laughed and I cried. Love a romance with a great, different story
