Alexis comes from a prominent family with a long line of renowned surgeons at a big city hospital.

Daniel is a small town carpenter who likes living the quiet casual life.

Their worlds collide with a bet, a gourmet grilled cheese, and a baby goat in pajamas. Afterwards, they just can't shake one another. It's it plausible to merge their lives, or is it doomed from the start?

I mean, same.

This was one of my most anticipated reads of the year and ohhhh myyy it did NOT disappoint. I adore Abby Jimenez. Her books are filled with so much heart, hilarity, and gut-punching emotional depth. This one is no exception, and possibly my favorite of her books so far.
Read it. Love it. Repeat.

TW: emotional abuse

💙💙💙 ALL THE EMOTIONS 💙💙💙

Y'all!!! Part Of Your World by Abby Jimenez has it all! And I mean ALL!!

After running her car off the road, Alexis finds herself stranded. She calls for a tow truck, but what she gets was the towns Mayor, Daniel Grant. He may be 10 years younger than her, but the chemistry between them, is off the charts! They couldn't be more different, or are they? Alexis is an ER doctor and lives in the city. Daniel lives in a small town, does a little bit of everything and is content with his life. Both of them have their worlds rocked when they realize how much they like each other.

This book isn't just a romance... There is abuse in all of its forms. Abby Jimenez touches on each kind of abuse, from emotional, mental, verbal and physical with such grace and realism. You can feel each characters pain, loneliness, and shame. As a reader you will find yourself getting angry, crying and feeling all the emotions. Abby Jimenez really knows how to draw these emotions out of her characters and out of her readers!

There isn't just sad, emotional moments. The laugh out loud moments come fast and often! I will NEVER look at a ring light the same way again!! 🤣🤣🤣

And for you Disney lovers out there, you will pick up on more than one Disney reference in this book! That, for me, just made this book even more enjoyable!! I don't read a bunch of romance novels, but I know a great one when I read it, and this is a great book!! 4.5⭐

Thank you to Netgalley, Forever and Abby Jimenez for the eARC of this book in exchange for my honest opinion.Now if y'all will excuse me I am off to buy Abby Jimenez back list!! 💙

Quaint, alluring, and undeniably affecting!

Part of Your World is a sweet, intimate, evocative tale that takes you into the life of ER doctor Alexis Montgomery as she struggles to juggle a successful career, a toxic ex, weighty familial expectations, and a budding attraction to a man almost ten years her junior who seems to be slowly stealing her heart piece by piece.

The writing is heartwarming and tender. The characterization is spot on with a wonderful cast of characters that are multilayered, quirky, amusing, and endearing. And the plot unwinds and unravels effortlessly into a beguiling tale bursting with heart, hope, healing, and heat.

Part of Your World is, ultimately, a story about life, love, expectations, trust, forgiveness, family, friendship, community, relationship dynamics, and discovering one’s true self. It is an addictive, moving, exceptionally romantic novel by Jimenez that is hands down one of my favourite reads of the year and is, without a doubt, another brilliant novel by an author I can never get enough of.

Well, Abby Jimenez. You are now four for four. I’ve read all four of your fantastic books, and they’ve all been five star reads for me. They just keep getting better and better! The author has a special gift for creating memorable and lovable characters, and crafting storylines that will suck you in immediately. Jimenez always makes me smile, laugh, and even cry. She grabs your heartstrings, then pulls, twists, and refuses to let go. The chemistry she concocts between her fictional couples is sizzling hot, super fierce, and intense. Jimenez mixes family drama with romance so flawlessly in Part of Your World. The reader receives a sweet and spicy love story about Alexis and Daniel, and their road to coupledom, while also including a good look at each of their backstories regarding family life. Including both of their individual stories provides much more depth and grit to the plot. You can’t help but form a connection to them both. Oh, and the conversation involving a ring light had me absolutely howling. My face hurt from laughing so hard. If you’ve read this one already, you know exactly what I’m talking about. If you haven’t read it yet, be prepared for some giggling! (I’m snickering as I type this!) This truly is a well-rounded story with themes of family, friendship, career-life, and love, obviously. If you’re a big rom-com fan like me, you MUST grab a copy of this wonderful book on release day - April 19th. Abby Jimenez has done it again, my friends. 5/5 amazing stars for Part of Your World! I absolutely loved it.

Abby Jimenez is officially one of my 'go-to, got to read asap, freak out when a new book releases' authors. Her books are all filled with emotion but also witty sarcastic characters that I personally end up adoring.

Part of Your World knocked it out of the park and kept me wanting to read late into the night even though I'm a sleep deprived mom with a newborn.

Trigger warnings: emotional/verbal/physical abuse, cheating, depression

I was beyond thrilled To get an ARC months ago. I savored the anticipation for reading. Once I began I read it in one sitting. It’s a terrific book. I liked the Wakan world much better than Alexis’ world. I empathized with the agony and the conflicted feelings Alexis felt for most of this story. However, she was grossly unfair to Daniel and kept so many things hidden. The two characters I liked the best were naughty Hunter and Briana, the tell-it-like-is woman. I am excited that Jimenez’s next book will be her story.
I kept waiting for Alexis to wake up and take command of her own life instead of being dictated by all the parts of her world.
Make this book a part of,your reading world.

Listen, I know I'm in good hands when I pick up an Abby Jimenez book, and don't ask me to pick a favorite. But Part of Your World is beautiful, and right now it's resting on top. Daniel and Alexis are both such fully drawn characters. Daniel knows who he is and what he values, and Alexis is smart and learning her worth after years of being made smaller by emotional abuse (reader note: both emotional and physical abuse are discussed and depicted in this book). Abby writes chemistry incredibly well, but she also really dives into the emotional connection between these characters. The city vs. small town contrast was so well done as well. Love, love, loved.

Thank you @berkleyromance and @netgalley for the #gifted eARC of PART OF YOUR WORLD!

Abby Jimenez’s books just get better and better. I absolutely loved PART OF YOUR WORLD and can’t wait for Bri’s book to come out next year.

Jimenez does an excellent job of balancing really hard (but important) topics like emotional and psychological abuse with witty banter, canine antics and ride-or-die BFFs.

My favorite parts about this book were the nods to Disney-tropes (the title, both MCs were “royalty”) and the tiniest touch of magic! I really wish I could get into my car and go visit Wakan and hopefully the town wouldn’t attack me with chestnuts! IKYKY!

One of themes throughout the book is that “Grace costs you nothing” and I think that perfectly sums up one of my core beliefs. The world would be a better place if people acted with a little more grace towards themselves and others.

PART OF YOUR WORLD is out 4/19/22!

loved this book, and I wouldn't call myself a romance fan. This is rom com - with very witty, authentic banter, and two characters who were so easy to root for. Both Alexis and Daniel are good people who are smart, likable, responsible and kind. Their circumstances seem doomed to keep them apart, and (unlike in many a novel in this genre) the burdens and obligations that seem to keep them apart actually make sense. Both are essentially heirs to a life they never got to choose, and each is in direct opposition to the others. LOVED the elements of magical realism that bring the town and the house to life-- playing a part in keeping two people who are meant to be, together. This was my first time reading one of Abby's books, and I see what all the fuss is about. Highly enjoyable, with the right amount of depth and story development.
Love the cover, too! I really hope this becomes a movie. I see maybe Amanda Seyfried or Bryce Dallas Howard.

Abby Jimenez has done it again! Alexis and Daniel come from very different lifestyles but they keep finding themselves drawn to each other like magnets. This book explores mental and physical abuse as well as dealing with a very controlling parent. I loved that Alexis grew as a character over the course of the novel and that were some magical realism elements sprinkled throughout. =) Abby Jimenez seems to be known for her heavy hitter topics with somehow still having a HEA (happily ever after). Daniel was such a cinnamon roll and it was enjoyable to see his confidence grow in his craft. I wish we got more of Derek and Nikki because their storyline seemed so interesting. Maybe we will get a prequel in the series? *crosses fingers, here’s to hoping but either way this was a great start to a new series and I can’t wait to read Bri’s story!


Huge thank you to Forever publisher for allowing me to read and review an ARC of Part of Your World!

Part of Your World (rom-com)
Rating: enjoyed

Thank you to netgalley and the publisher for the gifted digital advanced copy. All opinions are my own. Full review on bookstagram to come.

When I initially read the synopsis for this book I got major It Happened One Summer vibes. While the cozy, small town atmosphere with quirky townspeople was very similar and so fun to read, overall it was quite a different story.

I had a hard time with Alexis's character; she was just a huge snob. She grew a bit as the story developed, but she was still a snob. Don't even get me started on her awful "friend" group and her parents. I did like Bri, whose story is coming out next year (yay!), but she was the only supporting character close to Alexis that was a positive in her life. For me, a loveable friend group and main characters are essential for a rom-com. Daniel's character was great - he was patient, caring, and kind- but again many of the other supporting characters missed the mark for me. As the story wound down, the third act conflict was so cringey and there was zero communication, yet Alexis was forgiven way too easily - but that did fit with how kind Daniel's character was.

That being said, two things made this book special- Hunter the dog and the magical realism elements surrounding the town. I would've loved to see more of this and how the town made decisions for its villagers.

Content warning - traumatic birth, domestic violence, emotional abuse & gaslighting

DANIEL!!!!

Oh my goodness gracious. I.LOVE.THAT.MAN.

Daniel has swooned his way into my top 10 book boyfriends. He is damn near perfect, and I want one.

I liked Alexis, but I wanted to shake some sense into her almost the entire story.

The secondary characters Bri, Doug, Brian, and Liz, were just as loveable. You were rooting for them as much as Alexis and Daniel.

This was your classic country mouse, city mouse, and how their lives didn't mesh with some deep issues of main and secondary characters thrown in.
Abby may be an award-winning baker, but man, that woman can write!!

I've read every previous book twice and have loved them just as much as the first. She has a gift of sucking you into the story and making your chest hurt right along with the characters.

You'll love this story (ESPECIALLY MY DANIEL).
This book has it all - including a goat wearing pajamas and a pig named Kevin Bacon.

Thank you, NetGalley for the advanced copy. I couldn't wait until the release date.

Abby Jimenez is one of my favorite authors and it’s not just because of her adorable pups. (If you aren’t following their shenanigans on @tiktok, what are you waiting for?) Abby writes hysterical and heartfelt contemporary romances guaranteed to leave you in tears; both from laughter and emotion.

Part of Your World is her latest book and I devoured it over the weekend. I loved this story about an ER doctor who meets a carpenter after a raccoon makes her swerve off the road. Daniel comes to her rescue and then they part ways. Alexis runs into him in town and they hit it off… so well that the end up spending the night together. He’s just the change of pace she needs after her breaking up with her long time bf that her parents love. Even more than they love her. Daniel is a carpenter and B&B owner in a small town full of genuine good people. He can’t get Alexis out of his head and he’s thrilled when she tracks him down after their night together. But do they have too many differences? Can they make it work?

I loved that they were able to relax from their stressful jobs when they were together and just focus on themselves. I love silly Hunter and of course, Chloe is a true highlight of the book. 🐐 I’m so happy she made the cover! I felt terrible about Alexis’s family and I do wish we got a little more of Derek and Lola, but it was so enjoyable.

5 stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Jimenez does it again, with yet another can't put it down contemporary romance that features multi-faceted characters dealing with their own personal and familial issues.

One of my favorite rom-com's this year! Fall in love with small towns, chivalrous gentlemen, excitable dogs, and goats in pajamas with Abby Jimenez's latest love story...

Alexis is an accomplished emergency room doctor, yet nothing she does is ever good enough for her legacy family. And her recent failed relationship with the chief of surgery isn't helping her stay in her dad's good graces. Daniel, on the other hand, has his own legacy to live up to -- his family has held the mayorship of his tiny town (they don't even have a McDonald's) for over a hundred years, and it's up to him to keep the town afloat. On top of that, he's trying to run a B&B at his family's estate home in order to make a future for himself. So, no pressure for these two! It seems like fate when these two meet, and their instant attraction makes it hard to walk away. But their lives just don't fit together, and they are constantly pulled in different directions -- Daniel with his responsibilities and Alexis with her family and professional obligations. They will need to give everything to be a part of each other's world.

Thoughts: This is, by far, my favorite rom-com so far in 2022! Daniel is a total dreamboat, Alexis is ambitious but down-to-earth and likable, and their friends are hilarious. (With lines like saying she'd follow a clown into a storm drain if it had a baby goat in pajamas, I can't wait for Bri's book next Spring! LOL) Daniel and Alexis are so sweet together, the small town charm is adorable, and there is so much to enjoy throughout the book. Unlike Jimenez's last novel, Life's Too Short, that had me on "baited breath" wondering how the conflict would be resolved, readers can see an easy solution to this main conflict at least midway through. Made me want to shake Alexis and say, "Here's what you need to do!" Still totally worth it, though! I was smiling almost the entire time!

**Thank you, NetGalley and publisher, for an eARC in exchange for an honest review.**

Abby Jimenez writes the very best rom-coms in the business. The waiting list for this title is a mile long. I can't wait to share this book with all of the patrons that fangirl like I do when it comes to this author!

TW: Mental abuse, physical abuse, manipulation

After driving into a ditch in the middle of nowhere, Alexis Montgomery comes face to face with Daniel Grant. A ridiculously handsome and kind carpenter who is 10 years younger than her. As Alexis gets to know Daniel better, she notices how completely different their worlds are: Daniel lives in a small tight-knit town running his grandparent’s home as a bed and breakfast while Alexis works in the city as an ER doctor for one of the most well-respected hospitals where her family name is legendary. As she tries to keep their romance as casual as possible, the more time she spends with him she begins to realize how impossible that is but also how impossible it would be for her to have him in her world and her in his. Daniel causes Alexis to question everything in her life and where she is truly meant to be.

I had seen so many amazing reviews for this one and I am happy to confirm that the hype is REAL 👏🏼 I loved everything about this romance, the two MCs had the most amazing chemistry that I could feel from the very first moment they met. DANIEL 👏🏼 GRANT. This sweet gem of a man must be protected at all costs. This man worshipped Alexis, cooks amazing meals, takes care of a BABY GOAT and just sets the bar to an unreachable high. My heart ached for the struggles Alexis was going to regarding the mental abuse she endured from her ex-boyfriend and even her own father, these two men made my blood BOIL 😤 I loved all the characters especially Alexis’ best friend Bri and the townspeople of Wakan, I could not put this one down and just did not want this story to end. This was my first Abby Jimenez read and will most definitely not be my last, hands down one of my absolute fave reads this year so far! Thank you so much to NetGalley and the Publisher for an eARC of this novel in exchange for my honest review. This title will be available for purchase on April 19th 2022.

I will always read whatever Abby puts out into the world. Always charming and witty and quirky with some dreamy book boyfriends.

There’s…
✨ a darling meet cute
✨ a baby goat in pajamas
✨ a romance with an age difference
✨ two people from completely different worlds
✨ intense family pressure
✨ breaking the cycle

While this one wasn’t my FAVORITE Abby Jimenez book (instant love/infatuation just isn’t my jam), I still really enjoyed it and was totally sucked into the story.

Abby has a way of writing such incredible banter between her characters that you find yourself just sitting and smiling while reading. I loved the quirky town and all the charming characters… excited to see what’s next for them in future books. 🤞

Out 4/19/22 and you really can’t go wrong! But, if you’re a new Abby reader… Happily Ever After Playlist and Life’s Too Short are my faves! 😍

I read this one on my kindle BUT audiobook lovers you should know… Julia Whelan is one of the narrators for this book!

TW: physical and emotional abuse

Part of your world
By Abby Jimenez
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️


TW: Emotional, mental and physical abuse(mentioned)

What happens when two worlds collide. The rich and the not so rich?

Alexis Montgomery is struggling with what her family wants for her and making them happy. She’s a thriving ER physician who loves what she does. She rich, beautiful and smart but is emotionally and mentally abused by her parents and Ex boyfriend Neil. She is constantly belittled and told she’s but doing enough.

Daniel Grant is…Daniel is everything. He’s sweet, caring, swoon worthy, hot, from the middle of nowhere with tattoos and a beard to die for. And they try to make things work. But can they?

I think Abby did a great job with talking about mental/emotional and physical abuse. These are very delicate issues which I think Abby did a fantastic job of portraying.
Thank you to Netgalley and Forever for this eARC

It was no surprise to me that I loved this book. Abby Jimenez is such a talented writer, and from someone who reads and loves a lot of books -- these books are truly special. I always enjoy the characters, and the plots are always emotional and full of love. This is an easy five star for me, and I cannot wait to read whatever she comes up with next.
