I鈥檓 just slapping my head so hard! Why did I wait so long to jump into this MARVELOUS JOURNEY? I鈥檓 telling you, my friends: this is the BEST ABBY JIMENEZ BOOK! Absolutely her best work!
I cried and laughed so much, and sometimes I did both at the same time! The book brings out so many different emotions you鈥檝e buried inside and helps you set them free!
A workaholic, responsible ER doctor鈥檚 path accidentally crosses with a small-town mayor when her car gets stuck in a ditch. Blame it on a mischievous raccoon!
Alexis comes from an ultra-wealthy family of world-renowned surgeons but differentiates herself by becoming an ER doctor. At age 37, she has suffered enough from the emotional, verbal, and physical abuse of her ex and her own family.
After a car accident, she finds herself in a small town called Wakan. (Wakanda forever! Okay, I wrote that to see if you鈥檙e still reading!) Daniel, who saves Alexis from the ditch, is a caring sweetheart and definitely a dreamy book boyfriend! Yes, he鈥檚 younger than her, the mayor of the town, an efficient carpenter, and runs his grandparents鈥� B&B. The guy checks all the boxes! I don鈥檛 know how Abby Jimenez creates the best hero characters in her books. Each one of them is exceptional. And luckily, this time Alexis is also easy to root for with her resilience, honesty, and genuineness.
As Alexis spends time in that small town, taking a break from her responsibilities, extra busy schedule, and burdens from the past, she realizes she can find happiness in a place and with a man she never imagined before.
I have to admit, some parts of the book truly hurt me. Reading about the traumatic experiences Alexis has been through was really painful. I felt so sad, angry, and heartbroken. The angsty parts were truly realistic and hard to digest!
But like the sun coming out of the clouds, the sweet and promising love story in the book warmed my heart!
I love this book so much! I am absolutely giving it five small-town, amazingly adorable hero, second-chance, emotional stars!

i really tried to finish this book, like it had so much potential to be good bc the ratings are so high but i felt it was about to put me back into a slump bc of how boring it was and the fmc was unbearable!! she treats daniel like a child bc he is 28?? um, he literally knows more than you do so pipe down, he鈥檚 not that young. and also, how does she have a medical degree but is so helpless with life - she didn鈥檛 even know what a fkn broom was!! the mmc literally had to show her how to clean and cook like BFFR RN- she didn鈥檛 know what a breaker was, couldn鈥檛 make her own coffee and doesn鈥檛 know how to peel potatoes.. but calls her friends privileged?? YOU GREW UP WEALTHY LITERALLY STFU!! LIKE GIRLLL YOURE ALMOST 38 AND CANT DO DAY TO DAY NECESSITIES AND CANT EVEN STAND UP FOR YOURSELF TO YOUR SHITTY TOXIC PARENTS AND EX BF - alexis, i hope you go broke and i鈥檓 stealing daniel from you bc you don鈥檛 deserve him you ungrateful witch 馃槶 but honestly, i feel like i read a completely different book to everyone else lmaoo.
鈥� ok but mostly, i hated how they got together so early on in the book, like they have sex in chapter 4.. they鈥檝e probably known each other for like an hour at this point and she was going on how she won鈥檛 sleep w him bc she doesn鈥檛 do ONS but then BOOM, she has sex w him like girl bffr pls you鈥檙e draining me 馃槓 the insta-lust/love threw me off, it leaves no room for the characters to grow and it just leaves the story to DRAG ON AND ON!! ppl say there was a lot of tension and chemistry between them, WHERE??? i felt nothing, it was so forced!! there鈥檚 no pining, longing or realisation that they鈥檙e falling for each other. this is why i stick with slow burns!!
and don鈥檛 get me started about the ring light and the dick pic chapter situation.. like who gives a fuck about the angles and lighting ITS NOT GOING TO MAKE IT ANY BETTER!! AND WHY WAS HIS GIRL COUSIN GIVING HIM ADVICE ON HOW TO TAKE A FKN DICK PIC 馃
also, i predicted the ending from the start and i had to check; shocker, i was right.

I loveddd this book!!! My first ever Abby Jiminez book and I'm excited I now have a new author to read! I loved that the conflict in this book is so realistic. I had no idea how they were going to resolve it which had me on the edge of my seat and made it that much more heartbreaking.
I also loved all of the small-town characters. One of my favorite things about small-town romances is the found family feel which this book has.
Also, how could you not falling love with a man who has a pajama-wearing baby goat馃ス

"Grace costs you nothing"
This book certainly feels like a part of my world 馃槍鉁嬸煆� it was so well written and so well paced because the way I flew through this one 馃槶 it was so fast paced and so enjoyable that I just stopped everything and binged it as much as I could and let me tell you how fun it felt to be so immersed in a book specifically one that i had hopes for. Jimenez really did make this book worth my time. I would say, having read the second book, this is better in terms of writing and pacing and that is probably what made it connect with me so much 馃槜
Alexis gives off the perfect 'Alexis from schitts creek' vibes at times because she just had that aura and it made her pov so much more enjoyable. Abby did such a mega job describing Lexi's complex life with her family and it made me absolutely furious with how she was treated. Her mother was the definition of a doormat with the way she kept her husband walk all over her and I absolutely hated how Alexis couldn't rely on her father and it made feel so bad for her because most girls have this strong bond with their father and that support really means a lot to them because I do see my sisters and I see how much secure they feel knowing that if things don't work out my father will support them and to see Alexis quittingn an emotionally abusive relationship with a man who cheated on her btw only to be constantly judged and belittle her into thinking that her ex could never be wrong and she was the one in the wrong hurt 馃槶 because how can you do that to your own daughter, he was so controlling, he basically made all the important decisions of her life and the worst part was the he wasn't even there for the occasions. You know the little moments that you wish to celebrate with your family- yeah Alexis never got that because her dad was an arrogant bitch and her mother a weak doormat.
Daniel was perfect and the Greenest flag ever and he was definitely everything Alexis needed. He was the kind of guy who would go out of his way to help others. He was also very passionate about the thing he loved done *cough* Alexis *cough* 馃槶 no but besides that he actually was. Daniel and his baby goat were the highlight tbh 馃き I absolutely loved his patience and good he waited for Alexis and created an environment where she felt comfortable!
The romance was one of the nicer parts of this book. It was healthy and cute. I liked how it was closed door as well. I think it helped with the angst...I loved slow burn but this one was a one night stand turned into strangers with benefits so I wasn't expecting that I just liked that we didn't get insta love 馃槍鉁嬸煆� both of them were so well fit and I totally got where Alexis was coming from because I saw how her parents reacted to her brother's gf I knew they would react the same way with Daniel 馃様 and I also saw why Daniel felt betrayed but I loved loved loved how they got back together 馃き
Overall, it was an amazing read 馃┓

The following trigger warnings for Part of Your World may contain spoilers!
CW: Emotional abuse by side character, on page gaslighting by side character and on page physical abuse of a secondary character. Main character is an ER doctor and there are brief mentions of fatal accidents of minors, though we don't see these on the page.

5 stars. Heck, 6 stars. I have found a new all-time favourite!
鈥淚 wondered distantly if we鈥檇 known each other in a former life and we鈥檇 found each other again. If that was why he felt so familiar鈥︹€�
I鈥檓 not really going to tell you what this book is about. The blurb will do that for you. But I鈥檓 going to try to tell you how it made me feel, try, since I think that鈥檚 the most interesting part when it comes to book reviews. To review the impact a fictional story left you with. Real-human-feelings type of impact for a fictional world.
I think this book just became the blueprint for what all romances should read like, should feel like. It read like an absolute dream for me and I don鈥檛 know how I am supposed to move on from this story, knowing that this realm exists that I can never be a part of? I don鈥檛 want to move on. 馃槱
鈥淏ut grace costs you nothing.鈥�
From the town, to the main characters, to the side characters, I loved every part of it. I was rooting so hard for Alexis and Daniel, it鈥檚 not even funny. They鈥檙e not even real, but they might as well have been.
That speech that Alexis gave towards the end? I can鈥檛 tell you how proud I felt. I don鈥檛 even know whether she recognised her worth by the end, but I sure as fuck did. The woman is incredible! 馃ス
And Daniel? Don鈥檛 get me fuckin鈥� started. 馃槶 Abby Jimenez had no right to create this type of hero. None at all. Cinnamon roll to the core. He was someone that was just so good and honourable. Real life men, real life people could never. They鈥檇 fail in comparison to him.
These two characters who are seemingly worlds apart, fit and made sense like you wouldn鈥檛 believe and I loved following them on their individual journey as well as the one they had together.
I鈥檓 just blown away, tbh. I鈥檓 finding words difficult, simply because it wouldn鈥檛 do this book justice.
So, to end it, my favourite aspect to this book (alongside everything else I鈥檝e already mentioned) boils down to this: I feel like it emphasised that found families can sometimes trump the ones you are born into.
*Trigger warnings for emotional/narcissistic abuse from an ex and her parents.
There鈥檚 also a side character who鈥檚 experiencing domestic abuse*
鈥淚 wondered distantly if we鈥檇 known each other in a former life and we鈥檇 found each other again. If that was why he felt so familiar鈥︹€�
I鈥檓 not really going to tell you what this book is about. The blurb will do that for you. But I鈥檓 going to try to tell you how it made me feel, try, since I think that鈥檚 the most interesting part when it comes to book reviews. To review the impact a fictional story left you with. Real-human-feelings type of impact for a fictional world.
I think this book just became the blueprint for what all romances should read like, should feel like. It read like an absolute dream for me and I don鈥檛 know how I am supposed to move on from this story, knowing that this realm exists that I can never be a part of? I don鈥檛 want to move on. 馃槱
鈥淏ut grace costs you nothing.鈥�
From the town, to the main characters, to the side characters, I loved every part of it. I was rooting so hard for Alexis and Daniel, it鈥檚 not even funny. They鈥檙e not even real, but they might as well have been.

Now THIS is the rom-com world I鈥檝e been waiting for! Hallelujah!
After a series of cynical (and not very fun) reads, what a pleasure it was to spend time with the wholehearted characters Abby Jimenez brought to life in Part of Your World. Just as I was starting to wonder if I鈥檇 outgrown the romantic comedy genre, her fourth book (but first for me) helped me realize there鈥檚 still some rom and a whole lot of com out there to be enjoyed.
Part of Your World takes the opposites attract trope and gives it a good shake-up by (gasp!) making the woman almost 10 years older than the man. That鈥檚 right folks, she鈥檚 37 and he鈥檚 28. She鈥檚 an ER doctor at a prestigious hospital in Minneapolis, and he鈥檚 a carpenter/mayor/B&B manager at a small town called Schitt鈥檚 Creek, whoops, I mean Wakan (the Dakota word for 鈥渕agic鈥�). He wears denim, she wears Dolce & Gabbana. She comes from a family that puts the 鈥済reed鈥� in well-pedigreed, and he comes from a self-centered teen mom. Opposites, to be sure.
One thing they have in common though is obligation, and it鈥檚 those obligations that become the obstacle to their happily ever after. As they wrestle with them (and each other, ifyaknowwhatimsayin), readers are treated to many humorous lines and scenes, a baby goat in pajamas, and a pig named Kevin Bacon.
Jimenez has sprinkled a little pixie dust over the story by integrating subtle nods to various fairy tales and Disney movies. Be on the lookout for Cinderella scenes and Little Mermaid moments. Also be prepared for the underlying serious theme of domestic abuse - both emotional and physical. A few of the beauties in this book have dealt with some beasts.
Part of Your World might have been slightly more successful for me if it had been a tad less spicy in the s-e-x department, but that鈥檚 a personal preference and at least none of the C-words I hate so much were used. There are a few f-bombs, but that鈥檚 a-OK in my book. Or should I say world? ;)

This was fine. It was definitely cheesier than Yours Truly. I mostly just read it because I wanted to know the backstory of all the characters before I read Just For The Summer.

"Grace costs you nothing."
This did start off as insta-love, but don't let that deter you because I'm not a fan of it and ended up enjoying this. The story progresses into more, even touching on some heavy real-life topics. This is my first Abby Jimenez book, and she portrayed emotional and mental abuse well, showing the realness of dealing with it.
Part of Your World is the first book in the POYW series. It is a small town, age gap(she's older 37 and he's 28), opposites attract romance with tension, witty banter, laugh out loud moments and scenes of abuse that had me feeling angry and shedding tears.
Alexis was on her way home late one night from an out of town funeral when she swereved to miss a raccoon and put her car in a ditch. While she was waiting for the towns tow truck, Daniel stopped to help pull her out. She goes to the only open place in Wakan the towns bar and runs into him there. Deciding to help him win a bet with his friends as a way to thank him.
Daniel Grant is thoughtful, generous, and selfless, and I swear he is the sweetest. This man has the biggest heart and will do anything to help those who need it. He had me swooning for him so hard with all the gestures that he did for Alexis. He has his struggles, though, and it mad me so mad to watch him go through them. We see him suffer with financial struggles, but he tries not to show that he is struggling to save one of the things that means the most to him. Guys, he takes care of a baby goat that wears pajamas for a friend, sigh.
鈥淚 like to read. It鈥檚 the only way I get to live somewhere that isn鈥檛 Wakan. I read three, four books a week. A lot of audiobooks. That way I can work and read at the same time.鈥�
Alexis Montgomery is smart, sophisticated, and grew up being privileged. She went through both mental and emotional abuse with her ex and didn't realize that she deserved better until she met Daniel. My favorite part of Alexis was watching her grow and realize that her own family had also been abusive while growing up. Always doing the things that were expected of her by her parents and doing what truly made her happy but to please them. She started to see it all so clear once she was treated the way that she deserves by Daniel. My heart broke for her so many times, but in the end, she broke away from it and did the things that fit her life for her and not for anyone else.
"Nobody can save you until you鈥檙e ready to save yourself.鈥�
Daniel and Alexis are the complete oppostie of each other. She is an er doctor at a prestigious hospital, and he is the mayor of the town who runs a B&B and is a carpenter. When they are together, though, the sparks fly. They fit so well together and really do compliment each other in ways that no one has before. Their love for each other and the trials that they went through together felt so real.
鈥淗ave you ever seen anything so perfectly beautiful?鈥�
鈥渊别蝉鈥︹赌�
鈥渊辞耻.鈥�
I fell in love with the found family in this. It's the way the people of Wakan all look out for one another and are a big family. Some of my favorites were Doug and Brian as they brought humor with them that had me laughing out loud so much. I adored Liz and felt so bad for everything that she was enduring. Bri was the only friend that Alexis could count on, and that was true to her.
This took me through so many emotions that I wasn't expecting. The ending was a bit predictable, but I still loved it and was happy with the outcome. The only question I'm asking myself is, "What took me so long to read this?" I'm excited to read the next book and see Bri get her happy ending.
Favorite quotes and moments
"Sometimes what you have to give is enough. Even if it鈥檚 a rock instead of a diamond.鈥�
"Love follows you. It goes where you go. It doesn鈥檛 know about social divides or distance or common sense. It doesn鈥檛 even stop when the person you love dies. It does what it wants."
"There鈥檚 something more final than forever. It鈥檚 never. Never is infinite."
"Sometimes family isn鈥檛 what you鈥檙e born into. Sometimes family is found."

the crazy high average rating is definitely what drew me to this book. my experiences with AJs novels have been so-so, but a book that currently has a 4.62 rating has to be better than just mediocre, right?
and luckily this is!
the relationship between alexis and daniel is super sweet. yes, it starts off with a massive case of insta-lust, but i think the story progresses in a really nice way that shows how genuine feelings develop between the two of them. it feels real. dont get me wrong, the story is super predictable, but its honest, so i liked that.
my only complaint would be the balance between the fun, cute, and lightheartedness of a rom-com and the serious, heavy topics of real life. i think romance books incorporating more of the serious topics of relationships is a good thing, but sometimes i pick up a romance to escape real life, and i thought this story had a bit too much seriousness and prevented that escapism at times.
but honestly, it wasnt a deal breaker. i had fun and thought this was an improvement from my previous experiences with AJs books!

鈥淕race costs you nothing.鈥�
Hey, so this was definitely giving a bit of 鈥渋nsta love,鈥� but it鈥檚 okay because there was so much more to this book than just the romance.
Alexis Montgomery comes from a long line of world-renowned surgeons. She and her twin brother are expected to carry on this legacy, except maybe they don鈥檛 want to do it exactly in the way their family members did. As she was headed somewhere, because I really don鈥檛 remember where she was going, her car ended up having a problem. Luckily for her, Daniel shows up and helps her. Daniel comes from a local town, where he rents out a family house to visitors. They probably didn鈥檛 expect to see each other again, but as fate would have it, they see each other again, and 鈥渢hings鈥� happen. How does their relationship develop from there?
I thought this one was really amazing. I wholeheartedly could not put it down and finished it on the same day I started. Let鈥檚 start with the romance. Alexis and Daniel were really really really cute. Like I said from the beginning, it was definitely giving insta love but they still developed their relationship over the course of the book. Alexis and Daniel live different lives in regards to money, so it was really nice to see how they learned from each other through tasks and conversations.
鈥淒on鈥檛 let them decide the life you鈥檙e going to live.鈥�
A huge part of this book was abuse, both physical and emotional. Jimenez does a great job of highlighting how emotional abuse is just as powerful as physical abuse. I want to especially give a high five for revealing that these kinds of abuse can be among family members. My heart hurt for Alexis so much throughout the book. Except for her twin brother, best friend, and Daniel, I literally hated everyone she was surrounded with. How could someone survive with that much toxic energy? It was very realistic to portray this struggle that she had and how she slowly overcame them one at a time. How does she do this?
Of course, Daniel also has his own individual struggles, not abuse, but more on the financial side. I was scared that we weren鈥檛 going to see any struggles on Daniel鈥檚 side, but we did, even though it felt at times that Alexis' problems were shown more. Daniel is pretty much another illustration of fictional men being amazing. I could smell husband material from the first lines about him. He鈥檚 10 years younger than Alexis, and she made this a pretty big deal. I thought we are in a time when age isn鈥檛 a huge deal, but apparently, not everyone thinks this way.
Overall, there were some funny lines here and there, and the pacing was great. It wasn鈥檛 really smutty though, which I was kinda surprised by. I鈥檓 also surprised that I鈥檓 surprised since it鈥檚 not like the rest of her books were that smutty. I believe Jimenez has written four books so far, all of which I鈥檝e read. Her characters have so much chemistry. It is something she has definitely mastered. I personally think this is her best one yet!!

THIS. BOOK. is so beautiful, funny, and amazing馃洂馃洂 it had me smiling and giggling THE WHOLE TIME! Also, I was screaming, crying, melting, and kicking my feet. My heart was shattered in some scenes but healed in others. I connected with this book since chapter one, and I loved every single part of it馃挅 it was my first book by Abby Jimenez, and I鈥檓 so happy that I decided to finally read it. Thanks to that, I just found my new favorite romance book馃挆 after reading it, my standards are so high that I just know that it will be extremely difficult for other books to reach them.

This woman has my whole heart馃挆 she lived in privilege her whole life and had the pressure of continuing her family legacy even though it wasn鈥檛 what she wanted to do with her life. She wanted an out, but she felt that she couldn鈥檛 disappoint her family more than they already were. She needed to feel accepted by her family, friends, coworkers, and everyone in general. Maybe she didn't know how to do basic stuff like cooking, cleaning, etc., but we must keep in mind that she was literally conditioned by her parents since she was a child to fulfill the expectations of her family and to have everything handed on a silver platter. But she was raised like that. That was her world- she didn鈥檛 know anything better. She was taught that all she had to do was to study, get a job with a high position in the medical field, surround herself with influential people, and marry someone "worthy" whom her parents accepted. She didn鈥檛 have the mindset to see something else outside this world until she ended her abusive relationship, went to therapy, started to set boundaries for her parents and order her priorities, and when she met Daniel. Then, she started her journey of self-discovery,
self-awareness, and personal growth. I was so proud of her and her character development.

Where should I start? THISS MAN!馃洂 he鈥檚 so thoughtful, generous, sweet, caring, respectful, gentle, adorable. He has: the most charming and selfless personality, tattoos, dimples, and the cutest dog and a baby goat (it鈥檚 his friend鈥檚, but he helps him a lot taking care of it).
Since I first read about this man, he captivated me. There鈥檚 just something about him that always had me smiling, melting, and kicking my feet. Was it his charisma or how he took care of Alexis? Was it how humble he was or how openly he was to love Alexis despite their differences and the odds of not being able to fit in each other鈥檚 life? He is the sweetest person ever. He made Alexis feel safe, beautiful, powerful, heard, seen, helpful, worthy, and happy. Daniel helped her heal from her past relationship which was mentally abusive. He helped her raise her self-esteem, and always encouraged and supported her. Since the beginning, all he wanted was to worship her and make her feel comfortable. Daniel made her his priority and was willing to give up everything just to be with her. Andd he didn鈥檛 doubt that not even once.

This gorgeous woman馃挄Alexis' best friend and the only one she truly deserved. Not like Gabby or Jessica, the superficial and hypocritical 鈥渇riends鈥�. Bri is the type of friend who is so genuine and the one who will tell you all the hard truths, even if you don鈥檛 like it. She was always there for Alexis when she needed her the most, and she helped keep her grounded. She was so helpful for Alexis to recognize her true feelings and take those brave steps to organize her priorities and follow her dreams, not her parents. Also, she helped Daniel to calm down, avoid misunderstandings and reunite them. I love her <3
I鈥檝e said it before, small towns romance books have a soft spot in my heart鉂わ笍鈥嶐煩� there鈥檚 something so special, sweet, and cozy about them. Wakan didn鈥檛 disappoint at all. The people there weren鈥檛 just simple neighbors. They were a family. A strong bond and found family that won my heart. All of them were so special. They had me laughing so hard and melting, and they were the sweetest and the most supportive people ever.
鉂� My thoughts 馃挱 藮鈦�. 嗉� 鈰喫欌姽
鉃� every single chapter was magical馃鉁� this book hooked me from the very beginningwhich normally is very hard for me to achieve. Part of Your World is my new favorite romance book馃挏 I felt a rollercoaster of emotions and enjoyed every single word of this book.
鉃� I hated so much Alexis' parents. I could say so many things about them, but I would never end. Her father was a narcissist who only cared about prestige and was mentally abusive to her. Her mother never stood up for Alexis or her twin. They mistreated her and didn鈥檛 care for her well-being or happiness. She deserved so much better, but I鈥檓 so glad she found her own family in Wakan, Daniel, Bri, and her twin.
鉃� the third act breakup broke MY HEART. I felt like I was the one who was drowning instead of them. THAT is how empathetic I was toward this book.
鉃� when Daniel thought Alexis was embarrassed of him? SO HEARTBREAKING馃挃 he just wanted to be supportive, love her, and just be there for her. He was willing to give up EVERYTHING- his house, work, town, and follow her to another city just to be with her. Thissss man馃槶馃挆
鉃� this was an insta love, and you know what? I didn鈥檛 mind that one bit because I truly felt all the chemistry since the beginning. They were so opposites, and they lived in very different worlds. Even though, Alexis and Daniel had a beautiful, comfortable, and palpable connection since the moment they met and as they got to know each other and formed a relationship. They had insecurities, fears, wounds, and all the odds were against them. But they found a way to mix their worlds and be together despite the obstacles. They helped each other bring out the best of them and be the best versions of themselves. They became each other's priority and were willing to give up everything to be together. They just wanted to live their lives doing what they wanted and loving each other. And they achieved it. No matter how many differences they had, that didn't stop them from following their hearts and fighting against the odds to be together. I'm the happiest with their happy ending馃挅
鉂� Other quotes just because I love them 鉁�
Anyways, I will forever recommend this book to absolutely everyone. I hope you all enjoy it馃挏馃
馃拹鈥淟ove follows you. It goes where you go. It doesn鈥檛 know about social divides or distance or common sense. It doesn鈥檛 even stop when the person you love dies. It does what it wants. Even if what you want is not to be in love.鈥濔煉�

馃鈥淚 had to drown first.
And I was finally, finally ready to save myself.鈥濔煢�
This woman has my whole heart馃挆 she lived in privilege her whole life and had the pressure of continuing her family legacy even though it wasn鈥檛 what she wanted to do with her life. She wanted an out, but she felt that she couldn鈥檛 disappoint her family more than they already were. She needed to feel accepted by her family, friends, coworkers, and everyone in general. Maybe she didn't know how to do basic stuff like cooking, cleaning, etc., but we must keep in mind that she was literally conditioned by her parents since she was a child to fulfill the expectations of her family and to have everything handed on a silver platter. But she was raised like that. That was her world- she didn鈥檛 know anything better. She was taught that all she had to do was to study, get a job with a high position in the medical field, surround herself with influential people, and marry someone "worthy" whom her parents accepted. She didn鈥檛 have the mindset to see something else outside this world until she ended her abusive relationship, went to therapy, started to set boundaries for her parents and order her priorities, and when she met Daniel. Then, she started her journey of self-discovery,
self-awareness, and personal growth. I was so proud of her and her character development.

馃挆鈥淪he felt like the sun. Like she was the reason for everything. Like I鈥檇 always been waiting for her to get closer and bring me to life.鈥濔煉�
Where should I start? THISS MAN!馃洂 he鈥檚 so thoughtful, generous, sweet, caring, respectful, gentle, adorable. He has: the most charming and selfless personality, tattoos, dimples, and the cutest dog and a baby goat (it鈥檚 his friend鈥檚, but he helps him a lot taking care of it).
馃鈥淣othing could convince me this woman wasn't made for me to love. I think my soul recognized hers the second I laid eyes on her. Our bodies knew it the very first night.
The power she had over me terrified me. But it also gave me clarity.
There is a peace in knowing the one thing you can't live without. It simplifies all things. There was her, and then there was everything and everyone else. And only she really mattered.鈥濔煠�
Since I first read about this man, he captivated me. There鈥檚 just something about him that always had me smiling, melting, and kicking my feet. Was it his charisma or how he took care of Alexis? Was it how humble he was or how openly he was to love Alexis despite their differences and the odds of not being able to fit in each other鈥檚 life? He is the sweetest person ever. He made Alexis feel safe, beautiful, powerful, heard, seen, helpful, worthy, and happy. Daniel helped her heal from her past relationship which was mentally abusive. He helped her raise her self-esteem, and always encouraged and supported her. Since the beginning, all he wanted was to worship her and make her feel comfortable. Daniel made her his priority and was willing to give up everything just to be with her. Andd he didn鈥檛 doubt that not even once.
馃洂馃槶鈥淚'd give up my life here to be where she was if she'd have me. I'd give up my house and this town and all the people in it. If she was at the hospital eighty hours a week, I could be there when she left and be there when she came home. Make her breakfast, take her lunch, take her dinner. I could pick up the slack. She wouldn't have to do anything, it could be all me this time -I'd go to her. It didn't have to end.鈥濔煒煕�

Bri is the type of friend who is so genuine and the one who will tell you all the hard truths, even if you don鈥檛 like it. She was always there for Alexis when she needed her the most, and she helped keep her grounded. She was so helpful for Alexis to recognize her true feelings and take those brave steps to organize her priorities and follow her dreams, not her parents. Also, she helped Daniel to calm down, avoid misunderstandings and reunite them. I love her <3

And I鈥檇 found mine in Wakan.
I鈥檇 found mind in him.鈥濔炼�
I鈥檝e said it before, small towns romance books have a soft spot in my heart鉂わ笍鈥嶐煩� there鈥檚 something so special, sweet, and cozy about them. Wakan didn鈥檛 disappoint at all. The people there weren鈥檛 just simple neighbors. They were a family. A strong bond and found family that won my heart. All of them were so special. They had me laughing so hard and melting, and they were the sweetest and the most supportive people ever.
鉂� My thoughts 馃挱 藮鈦�. 嗉� 鈰喫欌姽
鉃� every single chapter was magical馃鉁� this book hooked me from the very beginning
鉃� I hated so much Alexis' parents. I could say so many things about them, but I would never end. Her father was a narcissist who only cared about prestige and was mentally abusive to her. Her mother never stood up for Alexis or her twin. They mistreated her and didn鈥檛 care for her well-being or happiness. She deserved so much better, but I鈥檓 so glad she found her own family in Wakan, Daniel, Bri, and her twin.
鉃� the third act breakup broke MY HEART. I felt like I was the one who was drowning instead of them. THAT is how empathetic I was toward this book.
鉃� when Daniel thought Alexis was embarrassed of him? SO HEARTBREAKING馃挃 he just wanted to be supportive, love her, and just be there for her. He was willing to give up EVERYTHING- his house, work, town, and follow her to another city just to be with her. Thissss man馃槶馃挆
鉃� this was an insta love, and you know what? I didn鈥檛 mind that one bit because I truly felt all the chemistry since the beginning. They were so opposites, and they lived in very different worlds. Even though, Alexis and Daniel had a beautiful, comfortable, and palpable connection since the moment they met and as they got to know each other and formed a relationship. They had insecurities, fears, wounds, and all the odds were against them. But they found a way to mix their worlds and be together despite the obstacles. They helped each other bring out the best of them and be the best versions of themselves. They became each other's priority and were willing to give up everything to be together. They just wanted to live their lives doing what they wanted and loving each other. And they achieved it. No matter how many differences they had, that didn't stop them from following their hearts and fighting against the odds to be together. I'm the happiest with their happy ending馃挅
鉂� Other quotes just because I love them 鉁�
I didn't like that others had to take care of me. I wanted to know how to take care of myself. I wanted to pull my weight and learn to be self-reliant so that when I did depend on someone, it was by choice and not necessity. And it was Daniel who was teaching me how.
鈥淚 see you. I would save you if you were drowning.鈥�
鈥淚 pay attention to you. How you feel matters to me.鈥�
鈥淕race costs you nothing.鈥�
He was in a black tux. One hand on the railing, and every woman in the room looking at him- but he was looking at me.
鈥淗ave you ever seen anything so perfectly beautiful?鈥� I breathed.
I turned to Daniel. But he wasn鈥檛 watching the petals anymore. He was looking at me. 鈥渊别蝉鈥︹赌� he said quietly, holding my eyes. 鈥渊辞耻.鈥�
He pulled out something and put it in my palm. It was a rock鈥�
鈥淚t鈥檚 shaped like a heart,鈥� he said. 鈥淭ook me two hours to find it.鈥�
It wasn't flashy. It cost him nothing but his time- but that was the gift. Daniel didn't have time. That was his most valuable commodity right now, and he'd given it to find me this?
She said she didn't see a future with us. That our lives didn't fit. I knew there were things I could never give her. At best, I had about as much to offer as my damn dog, companionship, and entertainment鈥ut I could love her better than anyone ever could for the rest of her life. That, I knew. And if there was even a fraction of a chance that might be enough, I was going to take it.
Anyways, I will forever recommend this book to absolutely everyone. I hope you all enjoy it馃挏馃

鈥� 4.5 stars 鈽�
I was truly captivated by this Part of Your World from very first chapter. Abby Jimenez, what did you put in this book? This is my first book by AJ and I am obsessed with her writing and the characters. I am not a fan of insta-love but Abby has a true talent of writing insta-love stories because it was just so perfectly written. This book is a mixture of hilarious, tender and heart-warming moments. There were moments where I was sobbing but then the next moment I was giggling and smiling because Alexis and Daniel were so precious. This is also the best reverse age-gap book ever written.
This book is like the biggest warm hug鈥� like those comfort cardigans you love to wear on your good and bad days. AJ beautifully blended the heavy issues and emotional moments with refreshing and swoon-worthy romance. Abby tackled heavy subjects like emotional and mental abuse, domestic abuse and manipulation in a realistic way and showed us how people deal with their situations differently.
The small town moments and the found family trope was so precious in this book. I loved the way they all were there for each other and how they all were just a big found family. Daniel's friendship with his Doug and Brian and how Alexis was welcomed and loved by his people. Everything was so sweet and tender. There were a lot of nuanced things in this book like the concept of Wakan being a magical town and how it will keep what it wants was kinda cute, it added the modern fairy-tale vibes to Daniel and Alexis's story.
鉃� Daniel Grant
The man of my dreams. He's just so perfect that no words will ever be enough to describe him and how much I love him. He's so down to earth, appreciates the privileges in his life, has the biggest heart ever, always helping his people, and there is nothing complex about him at all. You read about him and you'll see exactly what he shows you and says to you. He's good, kind, thoughtful, charming, selfless, knows how to love and take care of a woman without even asking for anything in return. I mean he spent two hours down by a river to find a perfect heart shaped rock for his girl, he adopted a war trained dog, he takes care of a baby goat in pyjamas. Aside from this, he also has his own struggles 鈥� financially and he tried his best to save his legacy but he also tried not to show his struggles to anyone because he's the one Wakan people depends on. He never pressured Alexis for anything just only ever wanted her time and I did not liked how he was treated by her in this book. Also, did I tell you HE READS AND COOKS!
鉃� Alexis Montgomery
The woman who belonged to a complete different world than Daniel's and who's rejected the idea of dating until she met the one. She's intelligent, kind-hearted, has lived a very luxurious and extravagant life. My heart broke for her so many times and all the emotional and mental abuse she went through for years by the people who loved her only to criticise her for her own choices. I liked her character development and how she came out of her toxic relationships with her father and her ex and how it made her realise that she was never the problem. Daniel helped her see love and life from a different and clear perspective which helped her understand her true potential and how there's so much to life than just carrying on a 125 years old legacy. Alexis is great and I love her but what I didn't liked about her was how she treated Daniel. There were so many things she could've done differently and that would've made things easy for their already complicated relationship.
鈺扳攬鉃� Daniel and Alexis
Do I mind that they fell for each other way too soon? Absolutely not because when you know you know. They did started of as friends with benefits but I loved the way they slowly started to get to know each other. They are perfect for each other but their different worlds and lifestyles are not perfect for their reunion. Daniel is the best in their relationship who was ready to give up his town, his legacy, his family just to make a future with her in her city because she means more to him than his 125 years legacy in Wakan. He's truly a gem. Daniel gave Alexis everything she never properly had in her life. She needed love, care and someone who can make her his first priority, someone who won't emotionally abuse her, someone who can accept her as she is and Daniel is that person to her.
I loved the way he made her feel normal, gave her the normal life she never had, told her all the little and handy things she thought she could never learn, how he always gave her the time and space and his love. He accepted her even without knowing about her extravagant lifestyle and her 125 years legacy. I understand Alexis choice and why she felt she could only protect Daniel by not including him in her luxurious and sophisticated life and she did her best but she also betrayed him so many times by not trying to include him in her life because he only ever wanted her. Daniel deserves so much better and someone who is proud of who he is and I think Alexis could've done better by his side.
The ending was dreamy and no I am not kidding. The third-act breakup was not needed but it was reasonable and it broke my heart because Daniel did not deserved to be treated like someone who's not good enough for the world Montgomery's lives in. He was ready to give up his everything for Alexis and still it would never be enough for her father. Alexis's father is the worst and he should be in jail for the way he emotionally abused his kids and his wife for years. What I liked was how Alexis accepted Daniel in her life and how she didn't give a shit about anyone's reaction and just waited for Daniel to come and walk in her life with his head held high. The epilogue was the cutest ever!
I highly and wholeheartedly recommend this book to every hopelessly romantic out there 馃拰

It鈥檚 no secret that Abby Jimenez writes some of my favorite Romance books鈥�.
Although I only read a few a year, you can BET that one of them will always be whatever Abby has published! I am always so excited when I see that she has a new book available to request.
Sure, this genre has a formula that leads to happily ever after-but that doesn鈥檛 mean it鈥檚 easy to write.
In romance you MUST like the characters, you MUST enjoy their dialogue, and you MUST feel the chemistry!! 馃敟
In addition, you absolutely MUST feel the angst! Theirs and yours-as you become worried that one of the leads will let the other get away, causing you to scream at that character to 鈥済o get your person鈥�!
NOW!!
All the boxes are checked here!
And, once again, Abby Jimenez adds an 鈥渆xtra layer鈥� to her stories by weaving another important topic into a sub-plot-this time, 鈥渄omestic violence-both verbal and physical abuse鈥�, providing resources after the epilogue.
This story introduces us Alexis Montgomery, who has been tapped to carry on her family legacy of world-renowned surgeons. (Think Meredith Grey of Grey鈥檚 Anatomy) She and her brother, Derek, have been groomed since childhood to be the next generation to lead their prestigious hospital into the next century and then Derek bails out.
Not their first choice, but nonetheless, now their only choice, their parents want Alexis to marry the right man-Neil-the head of surgery-have the right friends-the horrible Jessica and Gabby, and fulfill her destiny-Despite the fact that she has she realized that she doesn鈥檛 want any of these things.
Late one night, she is driving home from an out of town funeral, and she has to swerve to avoid hitting a raccoon-ending up in a ditch. Daniel Grant, a very tattooed, blue color, (and younger) man, offers to tow her out, and afterward she runs into him again at a nearby bar -which is the only place in town that is open this late with available food and rest rooms.
She decides to help him win a bet against his friends as a way to 鈥渢hank him鈥� for his assistance.
Despite the fact that their lives are as different as night and day, their sizzling chemistry is undeniable, and will make Alexis question if money does buy happiness and if if she has the courage to live life on her own terms.
As she tries to reconcile how she feels, we hear from both Alexis and Daniel, in alternating chapters, and I enjoyed hearing from them both equally.
Thankfully, Alexis has one true friend in her corner, Bri, and we should ALL have a friend like her-a friend who will tell you what you NEED to hear, and CHEER YOU ON, as you go for what will make you happy!
If you have enjoyed this author鈥檚 past work-you will enjoy this book too!
AVAILABLE NOW!!
One last thing鈥擨 was excited to learn that in 2023, it will be Bri鈥檚 turn in the spotlight and it will be her chance to find happiness! 鉂わ笍 My calendar is already marked!!
Thank You to Forever for my gifted copy! It was my pleasure to offer a candid review!

I鈥檒l not go into the plot, and will keep this review short and sweet. It鈥檚 no secret I鈥檓 a curmudgeon (lol) and my eyes tend to roll a lot.
But every now and then I need a rom-com (as long as it鈥檚 heavy on the com).
Did I have to set aside believability? Of course. Did I care? Of course not.
This was a delightful rom-com with compelling characters and a conclusion that wasn鈥檛 entirely predictable, but yet, perfect. I loved these characters. And, there鈥檚 the adorable dog!
After more than a few disappointing reads, this was a delight start to finish. Funny and sweet, I highly recommended for fans of the genre.
Yet, there is substance, but the author dealt with it with sensitivity. It鈥檚 nice to be reminded of the best of humanity.
The narrators, Julia Whelan, and Zacchary Webber were perfect for their roles.

my biggest issue with this book was alexis, the FMC. she was a good person at heart, and i appreciated how she made an effort to work on herself, with daniel鈥檚 help of course, after realizing how privileged she was as she spent more time with him (i still can鈥檛 believe she didn鈥檛 know what a broom was 馃槶). however, she often came across as selfish to me, and i couldn鈥檛 shake the feeling that she was subconsciously taking advantage of him, only turning to him when things were tough. i also didn鈥檛 appreciate how little faith she had in him, constantly worrying that he was with another woman when she wasn鈥檛 around, and i get that she was in a difficult position, but it was frustrating how she鈥檇 admit how much she liked him one minute, then gaslight herself into believing they could never work out the next. it was especially upsetting how she kept reminding daniel that she couldn鈥檛 see a future with him, making him doubt himself and feel like he wasn鈥檛 good enough for her. she even had the nerve to get upset with him when he told her he loved her 馃槶 like BFFR GIRLIE 馃槶 everyone saw it coming, and you loved him too, you hypocrite! 馃う馃徎鈥嶁檧锔� on top of that, he was always open and honest with her, but she kept him in the dark about her entire life back in minneapolis, which felt really unfair. the way she continued to push him away, even after he understood her and made an effort to make their relationship work after the hospital drama, was the final straw for me 鉁嬸煆�

铀�.釔� alexis and daniel
i didn鈥檛 feel any connection between alexis and daniel because their relationship often felt one-sided. it was clear how hard he was trying to make it work, but alexis, on the other hand, was so sure it wouldn鈥檛 that she didn鈥檛 even bother trying 馃槳 like babes, at least SHOW SOME EFFORT 馃槶

鉃� eugh 鈽�
buckle up my besties. i am about to be a hater piece of shit. if you love this book, do not take this too seriously. this is no where near the worst book i have read, but it was not memorable or impressive either. i am going to structure this differently than my usual reviews. i am going to list aspects i liked about the book, and then aspects that completely flopped for me.
鈱�characteristics i liked鈱�
鉁� the narrators! julia is my favorite narrator of all time & zach is my second favorite romance narrator.
鉁� the setting was pleasant & the vibes were lovely.
鉁� the cover is pretty!
鉁� i liked certain side characters' development.
鉁� daniel is a GREEN flag.
鈱�characteristics that made me irate鈱�
脳 *alexis* is a whole buffoon.
脳 embarrassing representation of women in the medical field.
脳 atrocious writing.
脳 hook up in chapter four???
脳 dialogue tags???
脳 poor pacing of the story.
脳 useless third act breakup.
脳 telling vs showing.
脳 why is his name daniel???
脳 stereotypical plotting & story telling devices.
脳 unwanted obsequious adults.
脳 repetition with lack of payoff until the end.
脳 jarring conclusion.
脳 pathetic deportment from developed individuals.
脳 how are you gonna pull this tomfoolery and not give me smut???
overall, i have read four books from this author, and they are ALL so similar to each other. i am tired of her writing overtly perfect men, with very unlikeable and puerile women. everybody is too grown to be acting like these circus clowns. pack it up.
鈥渓ove follows you. it goes where you go. it doesn鈥檛 know about social divides or distance or common sense. it doesn鈥檛 even stop when the person you love dies. it does what it wants.鈥�

Part of Your World is out of this world!馃槏馃挜鈥硷笍
It's easily my favorite rom-com so far this year. I wish I had more stars to give!
In the middle of nowhere between Cedar Rapids and Minneapolis, Alexis avoids a raccoon on the road and ends up in a ditch. Luckily, a handsome Daniel drove by and helps tow her Mercedes out.
This isn't instant love, but close. Their encounter on the road sets off an unlikely romance between two people who are polar opposites, but their chemistry is off the charts! I soo love them together.
Daniel Grant is a carpenter, and mayor, and runs a B & B in the tiny town of Wakan, MN.
Dr. Alexis Montgomery is an ER doctor from the big city.
I love their flirty connection, witty banter, and laugh-out-loud humor. I love the animals, Daniel's circle of friends, and dialogues with some risqu茅. 馃きThere's a scene that I listened to THREE times because it was immensely hilarious. On a slightly serious part, there's an underlying emotional abuse message in the story.
Part of Your World hits all the right notes and gives me huge satisfaction~adding to my favorite shelf (the first rom-com!). The romance is hot ~ 3/5 馃敟 scale.
馃帶馃挀Is it normal to have a voice crush? If so Zachary Webber is mine!

This was somehow my first book of Abby Jimenez! From this moment on, I鈥檒l be buying everything she writes, I'm not even joking!
I didn't want to write a review, but it would be injustice to this book, not that I'm a good reviewer by any means. lol you get the point!!!

It follows Alexis journey where she happens to find her self in a small town where she knows no one and doesn't even plan to stay for long!until she met this guy called Daniel who is almost 10 yrs younger than him that changes what she had planned for her life all along!
Both MMC and FMC are expected to continue their family legacy with zero intention of leaving their town or letting anyone down in the process!

The story flows so effortlessly that before you know it, you reach half of the book.
I can't normally find humour in these novels funny due to cultural differences I have with them, but there were times I was crying out of laughter!!
: 虠虁鉃� 鈥楢ll we had was our love for each other. That's all we had.
None of the other parts worked or fit or made sense.
But I didn't need it to make sense, because for me, the love was everything.it was all I needed.
But it wasn't enough for her.鈥�
There are many situations where characters talk about domestic abuse, and you can see how wisely and thought through they were written, so please be aware of the warning!

2.5 stars
馃挄 Contemporary rom-com
馃挄 Age gap (The heroine is 9 years older)
馃挄 Friends with benefits to Lovers
馃挄 Small town
馃挄 Tear-jerker
Abby Jimenez is officially my favourite contemporary rom-com author. Her writing is so good. Unique, realistic, engaging, emotional and heart breaking. I teared up while reading this book. It was so freaking good!
But I can't, I won't give the book more than 3.5 stars. Because here is the things...
Our hero Daniel Grant is an ultimate Cinnamon Roll. He was an adorable teddy bear I wanted to protect at any cost. Daniel was soooo perfect. I really do need a man like him in my miserable life. I'm in love with Daniel Grant.
But...The heroine Alexis was a stupid, selfishbitch person. I can't believe she's thirty seven. Come on! She's so unreasonable and dumb. And also a huge pushover. She wanted to please everyone but Daniel. She was in full control of their relationship. She did whatever she wanted, whenever she wanted. She never did care for how Daniel might have felt. I understand her complication. Alexis was emotionally abused by every man in her life, no one cared for her feelings. But that didn't give her the rights to hurt Daniel who was literally an Angel. And man! Did she hurt him! She hurt his poor heart again and again and still Daniel was willing to fight for their love. I hated how awful she was to him. Absolute worst. I am so angry at her. Alexis doesn't deserve Daniel Grant, she never did.
Then again, I would have overlooked all Alexis's faults and flaws if only the couple had good communication between them. They had zero to no communication. Alexis went through a lot. She should have shared her problems and feeling with Daniel. Instead she decided to hide things from him.
Where was the chemistry? Nowhere to be found. They had good sex. They were good poeple (as individuals). That's all. No chemistry or bonding whatsoever..Meh...

At this point, I'll read anything Abby Jimenes writes.
The men in her stories are perfect. They are the goodest boys. The kindest, most wonderful people. And I love them. Daniel has my heart! His only competition right now is Jason from , another of Abby Jimenez's books.
I am in love. That is all.
I need to go cry about the fact that men like Daniel only exist in fiction.
