A huge thank you to Forever for an advanced copy of Part of Your World.

I have never before been so happy for an auto-approval on Netgalley from a publisher. I immediately dropped the book I was reading to pick up my kindle and start reading Part Of Your World by Abby Jimenez. I don't know how she does it, but her books have be laughing out loud and just a huge smile on my face while reading (even when I'm crying).

Her meet cutes are the absolute best. I never highlight passages when I read, but there was just so many things here that I had to. Baby goats in pajamas, Kevin Bacon ans so many more...

I laughed, I cried and I loved this book. I can't put into words how much I love this book. Daniel is my new book boyfriend and you need to read this book.

I love her note at the end and some of the themes. Like all Abby Jimenez books there is some very real and very serious life issues and Abby has the perfect way of combining romance, comedy and real life into the best thing you've ever read.

This comes out April 19th!! PRE ORDER IT NOW!! Oh, and how long do I have to wait for Bri's story?

Never have I dropped everything quicker than when I got the approval for this book. Abby Jimenez has quickly become one of my favorite, auto-buy authors. The Happy Ever After Playlist was my top read in 2020 and is the constant bar I rate my reads on. Part of Your World was so incredibly good, I'm not sure when I'm going to fully recover.

Part of Your World brings together two unlikely people in the most magical of places and births a beautiful love story that leapt from the pages. This book is charming and funny all while taking you on an emotional journey that will tug at your heart strings and simultaneously make you sob uncontrollably multiple times. Jimenez is a master of developing characters that feel real and overcome major life obstacles to find their true love.

The chemistry between the two main characters is OFF THE CHARTS from the first few interactions. It's never forced and develops completely organically. Despite an almost 10 year age gap and starting after a one night stand, Alexis and Daniel are perfect for each other. One of the best parts of relationships is how you grow together and throughout the book, the pair push one another outside of their comfort zone and make each other want to be better and want more from life. These two make me believe in true love and set a high standard for what a relationship should be like. They weather storms and fight for one another. The entire journey, my heart fell in, but also simultaneously broke at the same time.

Alexis has a lot to live up to and she is (understandably) broken. Reading her transformation gave me hope. While Alexis feels bound to family legacy and high pressure, she stills gives her all to her patients and to Daniel, without batting an eyelid. Even as a giving person, she does not truly understand her privilege. Yet, she helps each person that comes into her wake. But the biggest hurdle she has to overcome is accepting her feelings for Daniel. The amount Alexis wars internally over her attraction to Daniel and lists every reason why he doesn’t work in her life just hurts my heart

I think I have truly found my new book boyfriend. Daniel is a diamond in the rough. He is incredibly sexy, not only physically (hello tall bearded man), but also emotionally, with his care and compassion for others. He is thoughtful, patient, generous and an all-around good guy. His small acts of love for Alexis is totally endearing and I found myself falling for him right alongside Alexis. He breaks the mold of the type of men she’s used to, but more importantly, he helps her see her worth and helps her feel truly loved.

Part of Your World was totally enchanting and had me hooked from the very first pages. Alexis' best friend Bri had me rolling laughing and I cannot wait for her story to come in 2023. I loved the nods to nonfiction reading and the deep roots of both the Grant and Montgomery legacies coupled with the tradition and rich history of Wakan and Grant House gave me a historical boner.

In pure Abby fashion, she delves into tough topics within the safe confines of a romance novel. Not only are wealth and status gaps portrayed, there are pivotal story lines that deal with domestic abuse, both physical and emotional.

A huge thanks to Forever for the advanced copy. Part of Your World is out April 2022.

I would legitimately follow a clown into a sewer for an Abby Jimenez book, and “Part of Your World” makes that even more likely should the opportunity present itself. Abby’s trademark is a feel-good blend of pop culture references, laugh-out loud humor, and ties back to former characters make you smile even when you know you are probably going to get all the feels and some tears by the end. It's worth it.

The heroine, Alexis Montgomery (with shades of a very fabulous Grey’s Anatomy character) is a talented, classy, sophisticated woman living a dream as a highly respected Minneapolis doctor, but her life is not as perfect as it looks to others. And our hero, Daniel Grant is the adorable, gorgeous, funny unicorn of a small town mayor that we would all give up tourist status for. The supporting characters (Ali’s best friend Bri, her brother Derek, the townspeople of Doug, Liz, Brian, and Popeye) play integral roles and you’ll want to know more about all of their stories, which to me is the sign of a great book. And you can’t forget the animal friends that make this all work too! From the couple’s raccoon-tastic meet cute, to Chloe the pajama’ed baby goat, to the delightful town pig, to the goodest good dog Hunter, it’s all just perfection. They aren’t just there to serve as plot points for Alexis and Daniel’s story as they push-and-pull (well one pushes, the other pulls) through their struggles – distance, time, age, socioeconomic status, and even feelings of self-worth and finding your place in the world.

I loved every second of it and can't wait to re-read this one, all her other books, and eagerly await the next one!
