Part of Your World was a enchantingly beautiful story to read. It was captivating from the start to finish, as is true to all of Abby's previous titles! I quickly grew attached to Daniel and Alexis' emotional (& physical 🔥🥵) connection! No stone is left unturned with the supporting characters and you even get lovely fairytale vibes coming out of the town of Wakan! Abby did such an amazing job of taking me on an emotional rollercoaster with laugh out loud moments, tears of sadness, frustration and pure happiness. TW - emotional and physical abuse.Overall a beautiful read that I could not put down! Will definitely read again!

Thank you to #Netgalley and #AbbyJiminez for the chance to read this ARC for an honest and open review.

I AM UNWELL….I don’t think this is enough of a review but like, if I didn’t review books for a living this would be my review. Onto the full one!

There are very few books I literally drop everything for to read the minute I get it in my hands and this is totally one of them. Abby Jimenez is one of my favorites authors and a complete joy to follow; girlfriend is as funny in real life as she is in her books. The tender kindness, character development and pure humor Abby delivers in all her previous books is all in Part of Your World.

Things I loved: Grilled cheese, baby goats in pajamas and one crazy, but loving, dog. Daniel teaching Alexis how to cook…this was so sweet! Alexis’ friendship with Bri was so honest. An Age-Gap that was done well and such natural chemistry between the two MCs. The small town/found family vibes. The themes of show abuse looks like many different things. The wood-working (I’ve seen this in another book recently and I also loved it). “Grace costs you nothing” is the perfect quote to live by. And the magic of this town!

Things I didn’t care for: It was really sad to see how Alexis’s friends treated her and others…but we got some resolution here. Also, both Alexis and Daniel’s parents were pretty questionable, but you know…we need a villain.

So go request on NetGalley, pre-order and look for at you local library!

So I finished Part of Your World the other day and I just couldn’t even bring myself to write a review yet because whatever I write wouldn’t even do the book justice! I have to say, this is by far my favorite book by Abby Jimenez! It’s a complicated romance, there are Disney AND Grey’s Anatomy nods, there is magic and a baby goat in pajamas! I mean come on a BABY GOAT 🐐! All of these things together might sound so confusing but trust me in saying this book is pure gold and it all ties together and makes perfect sense after you read it.

This story is about Alexis, a 37 year old Doctor from Minneapolis, and Daniel, a 28 year old working class guy from a small town. These two come together after Alexis drives into a ditch to avoid a raccoon and Daniel was there to help tow her out. They have an instant connection that first night but their differences make for a complicated relationship. Their worlds could not be any more different. Small town vs. big city, social divide and age gap. How can these two make a relationship work?

This book had me literally laughing out loud (chapter 25 📸😂) and crying towards the end. I highly recommend reading Part of Your World when it comes out April 2022! It’s the modern day fairytale we all need as adults!

I was so torn between wanting to stay up all night finishing this book and trying to slow down and savor every last word. I love the way Abby Jimenez writes such heartfelt stories that make you laugh, cry, and truly feel everything the characters are experiencing. The way she weaves important topics into her stories is a true talent. Move this to the top of your TBR list and preorder NOW!

Another Abby Jimenez book? I’m in!!
Read this if you:
*liked Hart of Dixie and Virgin River
*put everyone else besides yourself first
*have ever endured abuse (physical or mental)
*live in MN or IA
*love rom coms that deal with very real & very important topics

Abby has been one of my favorite authors even before I knew she was a local MN author and even before I knew she owned Nadia Cakes (cupcake place in MN). This is her FIFTH book and wow this might just be my favorite yet. This book tackles real issues and was such a wholesome read. This hit VERY close to home with the emotional abuse aspect. From gaslighting & belittling to guilt tripping, and complying to “keep” the peace. Using & hearing phrases such as: I’m too worn out to deal with it, you know how so and so is, etc. Realizing that silence is enabling this behavior.

Fav quote:
“You have been conditioned your entire life to live for everyone else”

I think this quote is beautiful and sums up my own personal journey in 2021, too.

Thank you Abby Jimenez, Forever Publishing & NetGalley for the eARC in exchange for an honest review. I am going to have the biggest book hangover after this book. This book touched my soul. Pub date: April 19, preorder now due to paperback book shortage!

Abby Jimenez’s fourth book, “Part of Your World”, showcases her humor, wit, and ability to captivate the reader in a story with relatable characters, real world issues and animals. Did I mention these animals have endearing personalities and include a baby goat? It will have you cheering and crying for Alexis and Daniel as they navigate their feelings for each other amidst family strife and responsibilities.
I loved the touch of coincidences and whimsical magic that popped up throughout the book and will be rereading it again soon!

Thank you to Read Forever Publishing and NetGalley for a free ARC of Part of Your World by Abby Jimenez in exchange for an honest review. This book comes out on April 19, 2022.

Rating: 5 star
Genre: Romance

Steph and I literally wait all year for Abby Jimenez to release her next book! We had absolutely no chill about waiting to read this book, once we received it! If you enjoy romance books or are looking to start reading romance books, I highly recommend her books!

This was a 5 star read for both of us! Her writing is addicting, beautiful, and complex in the best of ways! I cannot wait for Bri's book! Can it be 2023 already!!!

This book was written in true Abby fashion, with humor and heart. Like all Abby’s books they center around a serious topic, this one centers around verbal/emotional abuse, with some physical violence being touched on as well. So def take care if you decide to pick up this book. If you have never picked up a Abby book let this be one (and also what are you doing with your life).

I couldn’t put this book down! Part of Your World by Abby Jimenez is funny and heartwarming while also tackling very real, difficult topics with grace.

Alexis and Daniel both come from strong, but very different, family legacies that tie them to their respective locations and keep them from fully giving into their feelings for each other. The chemistry between them is truly magical and I loved seeing them grow as individuals and in their relationship throughout the book.

The town of Wakan and its residents (including adorable animals!) also added so much to the story and gave me Stars Hollow vibes!

Where do I even start? I absolutely LOVED this book. Abby Jiminez continues to blow me away with her likeable, realistic, characters and plotlines I cannot tear myself away from. I devoured this book in just one sitting!

Alexis Montgomery is the Meredith Grey of her hospital. She comes from a high-class world of medicine and the super-rich. Alexis's life isn't perfect, as her parents have decided everything. They've handpicked the job she'll take and the man she'll marry, without ever asking her what she wants in life.

After a last-second stop in a small town, Alexis meets Daniel Grant- the hunky mayor and beloved town carpenter. Their chemistry is out-of-this-world and will have you hoping and wishing they end up together.

Can the two combine their lives? How will city and country make it work? Alexis's time in the small town turns her world upside down as she chooses to become part of his world- or to stay in the place she's destined to be.

If this is not pre-ordered and on your TBR, get moving! You will not want to miss this one!

I loved this novel, Part of Your World by Abby Jimenez. I was laughing on the first page, and crying later in the book with empathy for her characters' resilience and real-life problems. Jimenez does not shy away from the issues of abuse, and handles her characters with grace and compassion. I absolutely love the allusions and foreshadowing included throughout, making the whole thing feel a bit magical and different from her previous novels. She includes differing POV's, which also keep you so invested in each character. Overall, I highly recommend this book if you like to laugh, cry, and feel a deep investment in the happiness of all the characters involved from start to finish.

If you haven't read a book by Abby Jimenez yet, this is your sign to do it! Pick up The Friend Zone and start reading! While this is a standalone book, it features a few characters from previous books. I love how Abby is able to take heavy topics and write in a way shows how strong the people can be. I adored Alexis and Daniel along with all of the people of Wakan. I can not wait for the next installment to learn all about Bri!

Thank you @readforeverpub for a copy of this book. This was all the stars!! My heart was shredded to pieces and put back together. I loved Jason from HEAP but Daniel is now my new favorite book boyfriend!! The story made me laugh and cry and I was on a total emotional coaster.

I read this book has a lot of references to Disney and was worried it would be over top Disney and I was glad it wasn’t. It was a great way to give love to Disney without it being in your face.

I adore the Easter eggs dropped through the book.

Impression: Abby Jimenez does it again. This time, think Alexis from Schitt’s Creek (except super smart) meets Sweet Home Alabama.

Synopsis: Alexis is an ER doc and the black sheep of her family. After her brother is disowned for marrying a pop star, she is expected to take over the family legacy. After getting pulled out of a ditch by country boy Daniel, she starts a fling that turns into more. But how could they ever make it work?

Is love enough to give up your whole life?

Thoughts: While this book wasn’t my favorite of Abby’s, it’s not really fair to compare since they’re all 5 star books for me. The chemistry between Daniel and Alexis was off the charts but the book kept the steam level fairly low, which was A-ok by me.

As expected from an Abby book, there’s a lot of deeper story lines and this time it’s about the cycle of abuse, both emotional and physical. It was so well done and really added to the story.

At first I was a bit annoyed that the town has a bit of “magic” of sorts, but in the end I really liked how the town always gets what it needed.

I laughed, I cried, I sped through it in 24 hrs, I didn’t want it to end.

Also, the Easter eggs in this book made me so happy!! Abby is my favorite author and I just reread all of her previous books, so I think I caught them all.

Go preorder this book, it’ll be so worth it!!

Thank you so much to @readforeverpub and @netgalley for this ARC. I have been waiting for this to become available and screamed when I got approved.

Wow. Ahhh so many feelings to process. First of all, five incredible stars. Seriously. I could not put this down (much like Abby’s other books). She never disappoints me.

This is a reverse age gap. Alexis meets Daniel one night after driving her car into a ditch. Alexis is an ER doctor and Daniel is mayor of a small town named Wakan. He runs his grandparents B&B, is an incredible carpenter, all while helping the townspeople.

I was swooning from the first second we met Daniel and the baby goat in pajamas.
I am such a sucker for a quaint small town and Wakan did not disappoint. The characters were just lovely, and the way Daniel cared about the people of Wakan was the sweetest.

The character development for Alexis was so amazing to watch, she had me cheering for her so hard near the end.


There is so much I want to say, but really I don’t want to give anything away. Abby has such an amazing way of portraying hard situations in her stories with such grace and the ability to make people understand - there is talk of physical and emotional abuse, and depression in this one.

I highly recommend reading her other books because the mentions of past characters had me left with the biggest grin on my face. I love love love when authors crossover characters - and Abby does it best. P.S so happy we will get Bri’s story in 2023!!!

Also, the nod to Taylor Swift was just 🤌🏻🤌🏻🤌🏻

Thank you so much to the publisher and NetGalley for this ARC in exchange for an honest review.

I totally give more than 5 stars of there was option I love everything abby jimenez writes I love Alexis and Daniel their story is one to dream about I Definitely could have that kind of love in my life, I like that book talks about abuse so openly how it does effect alot of people and it makes you laugh. Cry, and sometimes give you hope! Thanks for allowing me to read the book!

When it comes to contemporary romance, Abby Jimenez is one of my favorite authors. I've loved all three of her previous books, and the fourth will surely continue her successful streak.

Alexis and Daniel come from different worlds. She is a Minneapolis ER doctor destined to carry on her wealthy family's legacy at a prestigious hospital. He is a (very) small-town carpenter who is also proprietor of his absent mother's B&B. He also has a goat, a pig, and a rambunctious dog. Alexis and Daniel "meet cute" when he hauls her car out of a ditch and forge a casual relationship (with benefits) based on their mutual attraction. But Daniel is almost 10 years younger, and their lifestyles don't mesh at all. In addition, both have [personal/family issues that they are struggling to overcome.

Abby Jimenez has a knack for creating fascinating characters, fleshing out their worlds with color and interesting details. Daniel, in particular, is one of the most endearing heroes I have encountered. There is even a small dash of magical realism. Best of all, the plot is imaginative and soul-satisfying, with some fairy tale elements. Jimenez can't write her next book fast enough for me.

My thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for giving me the opportunity to read and review this book.

Abby’s best yet! (And her first three books were excellent.) I loved this story. My favorite meet-cute I’ve read in ages. Tons of funny moments in a surprisingly deep story. Can’t wait to re-read this one.

I don’t even know where to begin, as I’m tearing up just thinking about this absolute rave review I’m about to write. Abby has done it again, better than before. How that is even possible I do not know.
I was a victim of emotional abuse with my ex husband. I didn’t know it at the time, as many victims are blind to the abuse. My abuse was not as drastic as that of Alexis’s in the book, thank God, but it still left its marks. My now husband saved me from that life, and that marriage. He helped me see my worth and pulled me from my darkness.
The hidden gems in this book, alluding to Disney themes, characters and magic in general was genius. I wasn’t even aware of all of the clues until I read the Q&A at the end of the book. I think this is my favorite book in the lineup so far (though just saying that I’m doubting it because all of her other books are SO GOOD).
