Abby Jimenez had become one of my favorite authors as I have read all her books, but Part of Your World was not at the top of my list. Don’t get me wrong, I liked the storyline and the moral of the story, but it dragged a little after the first 150 pages. I enjoyed the characters and I loved the humor that Abbey always flavors her books.

I can not say enough good things about Abby Jimenez and Part of Your World. I love how she not only brought romance into this book but it also brings the mystery of magic! I love that this book was different from the last 3 in that aspect. Also, goats in pajamas! Do I need to say more? I loved Alexis and her character. and I couldn't stop rooting for her during the entire story. The writing was so great and descriptive, I felt like I was caught in the town's spell as well. I also love the little Easter Eggs that you can find in Abby's books.

This book had everything I look for in a romance. Actual, real characters that deal with real-world problems, a compelling storyline, and fantastic tension. Abby does an amazing job tackling tough issues in an informed and sensitive way, all while keeping the feeling light and humorous. This book will make you alternate between laughing out loud and shedding a few tears. One of my favorites to date!

I loved the book! Abby is such a thoughtful and talented writer. Her stories are very witty and contagious; you don't want to put the book down. She researches careers before adding them into her books for a realistic perspective. Her stories are relatable and captivating. You don't want to put the book down.

This was my first abby jimenez book and it didn't disappoint. The reviews were so right about how good her books were and i was so excited to get an arc of this. Such a great book!

My first Jimenez book - I liked it, though I have to admit to feeling like his character was pretty flat....then again, perhaps by "flat" I mean "improbably good," which might actually be more a reflection of his Midwestern upbringing than anything?

From the first paragraph, I knew this book would be a good one. I immersed myself into the book from the first chapter and I cannot say enough good things about this book! Honestly amazing! The writing is incredible and the plot is just one to die for. I am absolutely obsessed with this book. My favorite part would have to be the character development throughout the book. Character development is something I look forward to and this book did not disappoint.

Abby Jimenez does not disappoint, and this book definitely didn't either. I could not put it down! I loved watching Daniel and Alexis fall in love, I loved watching them overcome issues and find a way to be together. I loved watching Alexis become independent and into her own. I laughed out loud, reread pages so I can experience their love again. I cannot wait to read Bri's story because I know it will be this good. I need a goat in pjs because how adorable is that! Definitely recommend it and cannot wait to read what's next.

I adored this book and am super excited that the story is continuing in Spring of 2023!! This feels reminiscent of Jasmine Guillory but mixed with Gilmore Girls meets Virgin River. If you like small town meets big city romances, then this will be right up your alley. This book checked all the boxes for a romcom story so those who like a little romance mixed with some humor, some tears, but the certainty of a happy ending, pick up this book today!

This book was my very favourite Abby Jimenez book so far! I loved everything about it and that’s saying a lot. There are novels in the past that I thought Jimenez hit out of the park but this was everything to me! I loved that these characters came from very different areas but fell in love with each other’s world enough to break past their conflicts. I think I liked this so much because it’s so real…there are many relationships I have seen develop where the couple comes from very different locations and backgrounds and it’s part of what makes their romance so beautiful. I love that Jimenez will tackle the nitty gritty situations in real life and bring them to light in her writing. She handles her characters and readers with care while doing so. This was exquisite and if you have read Jimenez in the past and loved her I promise this will take you further than ever before. If you read her and didn’t like her stuff…please try this! I promise it is a gem! Lastly, if you have never read her…this is a great place to start and it will always hold a place on my shelf and in my heart!

Abby Jimenez delivers again with Part of Your World. It's giving strong mature woman meets yummy (and younger) bearded smalltown hunk. Throw in a baby goat in pajamas and you shouldn't need any more convincing. Get this book now. Oh, you need more? Fine. The dick pick scene! Omg I laughed so hard. It will live in your mind rent-free for a very long time. You will want to tell all your friends about that scene.
Plus you'll want to read this book before Abby's next book comes out which is the story of Bri- Alexis best friend that you'll be introduced to in this book. Once you start ready Abby's books, you're hooked for life. You're welcome.

Abby Jimenez does it again! I was able to read this book through NetGalley’s ARC. Like all Abby books, I read it in less than a day! Loved the story and the characters. I am a Day One OG Fan and Abby is literally my favorite author. My favorite thing is trying to find the Easter eggs and connections from the previous books. The connection on this one is awesome! I also loved the Grey’s and Disney references. Can’t wait for more from Abby!

This was yet another fun read from Abby Jimenez! I believe I devoured this book (I received an early eARC) over a weekend. PS check out the super cute baby goat on the cover 😍 It’s really not fair that a hot man also owns a baby goat, who can resist? Anywho go buy and read this romance when it comes out on 4/19!

I ended up reading this entire book in one day. It was meant to be my commute book this week but I couldn't stop reading it when I got off work on Monday.

Daniel is soooo sweet. As the town's last remaining Grant, Daniel acts as town mayor and watches over all of the residents. He treats Alexis (and everyone else) perfectly. Normally it bothers me when characters are *too* perfect but I absolutely loved him. Alexis, on the other hand, really had to grow on me. For a surprising majority of the book she witholds so much information from Daniel that I was honestly thinking he deserved better. Alexis is dealing with the longterm effects of emotional abuse though, and once I realized that her actions made a lot more sense.

Most of this book is about overcoming abuse and trying to choose yourself over others, but there is plenty of humor and lighthearted moments too. I really just loved everything about it and can't wait to read the rest of Abby Jimenez's books.

Are you looking to smile and then feel happy when you are finished with the book? Part of Your World delivers interesting characters and a great story. Abby Jimenez is a talented storyteller and I went out and read every other book that she has written after I finished this one.

I loved this fantastic book! It made me laugh. It made me cry. It made me swoon. Everything I want in a book!

Ohy have I not immediately binged all of the books Abby Jimenez writes? This is now the second of hers I've read and they've immediately soared to the top of the favourites lists. Especially considering some of my most trusted friends also tell me this, I still for whatever reason don't drop everything. This book has now changed that.

Part of Your World was absolute perfection. Is there a better book boyfriend out there other than Daniel? I doubt it. A lot of this book hit really close to home, so close that it felt like I could have written a lot of it myself (in much less eloquently, beautifully written words). I saw so much of my husband in Daniel, the raw and overwhelming love he has for Alexis and the heart of gold, do anything for his neighbours and loved ones attitude. I also saw a lot of myself in Alexis, trying to be strong and independant but knocked down by those closest to her. I loved the progression of her character in this book, how she learned to be her own person and stand up for herself. I absolutely adored how Jimenez handled different kinds of abuse in this book - without spoiling anything, I sincerely appreciated how she didn't discredit someone for enduring a different kind of abuse and made all forms equal.

One of my favourite reads of the year - you should probably go check it out.

Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher for my copy of Part of Your World by Abby Jimenez. All opinions are my own!

This was a cute, fast-paced read. While a little unbelievable in parts, it still kept my attention and was a fun break from reality.

This was a great addition to the series and I really enjoy the emotional roller coaster that Abby Jimenez always takes me on!
