What this book is about
Kristen Peterson and Nick Rosales are best friends. Kristen has a medical condition that makes having children impossible. Nick wants children more than almost anything. She loves him but won't pursue it. The Friend Zone is a contemporary romance that spends more time on the obstacle—and Kristen's psychological relationship with her condition—than most romances spend on anything.
