The Friend Zone (The Friend Zone, #1)

by Abby Jimenez

“Marrying your best friend.” He wiped his mouth with a napkin. “You marry your best friend, and at family gatherings you deal with your shitty relatives together. You laugh about it and have each other’s backs. Share looks and text each other from across the room when everyone else is being an asshole. And nobody else really matters because you have your own universe.”

But then I realized the truth. She wasn’t mine—she never was. I’m hers. And it’s not the same thing.

I couldn’t do shit for myself at the moment, but I could do anything for her.

“I’ll orbit around you and be your universe, because you’ve always been my sun.”
