The Night We Met by Abby Jimenez

A funny, tender, quietly gutting romance about the split-second decision that rewrites your whole life—and the love that grows in the aftermath, even when it shouldn’t. The Night We Met is Abby Jimenez at her best: big heart, sharp humor, and messy, human choices where nobody wants to be the villain.

For Larissa, everything changes the night she chooses which guy to ride home with after a concert. She has no idea she’s just met the perfect man. Months later, life feels unexpectedly easy with Chris—they click in all the small, intimate ways: co-parenting a slightly unhinged rescue Yorkie, swapping favorite books, and judging bread (pumpernickel for the win). For the first time amid her side hustles and scraping by, she feels steady.

Except Chris isn’t the guy who drove her home that night.
Chris is her boyfriend’s best friend.

Chris wants Larissa to be happy—full stop. He stays on the sidelines because making a move would destroy someone else, and he refuses to be that guy. But wanting her from a distance is slowly breaking him… and the closer they get, the harder it becomes to pretend this is just friendship.
