I love Abby Jimenez. Anything she writes I just know will be good, but this was honestly beyond all expectations. There is not a single critique I have in regards to this book. From the author to the story to even the covers, this is a perfect example as to why I love reading. The couple is just everything I wanted and more in this book and I clearly adored it.

I loved this! It was very well written. The chapters were a bit long, but the story didn’t drag out. It keeps you interesting and rooting for the characters throughout the entire book. I’ve read all of Abby’s books and I haven’t been disappointed! I look forward to reading more of her work ❤️

Loved this. This is like the antidote to Colleen Hoover: this has a similar theme of the cycle of emotional abuse, but not disgusting like it ends with us. It definitely took the MC too long to come around to the amazing guy she. Found in the small town but it ends the way it should. This is Romance the way it should be.

Now that’s a contemporary romance! Like I imagine her cupcakes are—quality, substance, and flavor enough that you’re willing to overlook the fact that it’s a little too sweet.

I absolutely adored this book. Not only did it get me out of a reading slump, but it's one I keep thinking about. Fun, funny, and also deeply emotional. Age gap romance (woman as the older one in the relationship), small-town, class differences. Maybe a touch of magic? Lots of great tropes.

Wow. That was definitely not a light read. I have loved Abby Jimenez's previous work. "Part of Your World" didn't quite work for me. I appreciate the growth and strength of the main character, but she was difficult to sympathize with and so far out of reach for me. And while the writing was engaging, it did begin to seem like I was reading the same scene four times in a row.

I will be looking forward to more of the author's work and would recommend her earlier titles.

This was amazing. I’m so glad I was approved for this. The story was engaging and I cannot wait to read more from
This author.

Every time I finish an Abby Jimenez book, I say it's my favorite and I have been doing this since her debut book, so that says something, right?

Obviously Part of Your World exceeded all my expectations, and I think this might me my favorite of hers. Even though I was a little skeptic about the reverse age gap trope and was wondering if the author will be able to pull it out, but Gosh I needn't have worried! Everything about Alexis and Daniel and their relationship was perfection. I laughed, I cried, I felt way too much for them both. And after a crazy roller coaster ride of ups and down, we got the perfect conclusion. SWOON!

There is no one except Abby Jimenez who in her stories makes it seem totally impossible for two people to be together, but then after plenty of tears and heartbreak, she flicks her magic wand, and everything falls perfectly into place, and you know what, as a reader you are left wondering - How did I ever doubt these two characters!

If you've read any of her books you'd know that they are heavy on triggers and there is usually one HUGE social issue that she acknowledges in every story. I am always amazed at how perfectly, honestly and gently she portrays these situations, never undermining or underplaying the difficulties and challenges a person has to endure.

Major content warnings for physical and emotional abuse, depression, cheating and gaslighting.

All that being said, I can't wait to read her next book!

I love this book. Just love it. So much. Part of Your World is an amazing opposite’s attract romantic comedy. While the witty banter had me laughing out loud, Abby Jimenez made me feel all the emotions. The connections and dynamics between all the characters and the growth throughout the book really made it magical. Part of Your World is so much more than a romantic comedy and I loved every page.

Thank you to Netgalley and Forever for the ARC!

Oh such a feel good book while still touching on tough topics like different forms of abuse in relationships. I’ve yet to read something by the author that wasn’t full of heart!

I absolutely loved this book! I loved the characters especially Alexis, Daniel, and Bri. It seemingly can be a true to life situation as well which I also appreciated. Do yourself a favor and read this book. It will give you all the feels as it did myself.

4.5 rounded up.

I loved how delicately Abby Jiminez touched on the issue of abusive relationships. I adored Alexis and Daniel and Bri and Hunter and everyone in Wakan. I loathed Alexis' parents and Neil so much I was shaking at points. But all in all, I loved the message of choosing yourself. It's sometimes the hardest choice of all.

I'm in the minority when I say that I liked Part of Your World but it's my least favorite Abby Jimenez book to date (for the record, The Happy Ever Playlist is still my #1). It was still wildly readable and easy to immerse myself in the romance between Alexis and Daniel. She has an unforgettable (supposedly one) night with him, a gorgeous, down-to-earth, small-town carpenter who's ten years her junior and her complete opposite. She's a city girl who's bearing the weight of her wealthy parents' pressure to be a surgeon instead of a "simple" ER doctor. But, of course, they can't stay away from each other and in the comfort of his small town (with its tight-knit community), they start falling in love (this was the best part!). But I felt like the conflicts that Alexis faced (ie. her family and a crazy ex) didn't work for me. Her parents felt either flat or villainous, for lack of a better word. I just didn't understand them and you know, there probably are people like that in real life but I struggled with it. Same goes for the other conflict with her ex. I even struggled a bit with Alexis herself. Again, I just couldn't imagine my career or my feelings on it being swayed by my parents' opinions (side note: my entire family to this day does not understand what I do). But even though this book ultimately wasn't a favorite, I still liked it and I can see why other people loved it. A lot of my personal feelings certainly played a role in how reacted to the book overall so if you're interested, I think it's worth borrowing from the library.

This was the first Abby Jimenez book I've read and loved it so much! The story was great - it was funny, sad and felt really real. I loved all of the characters, especially Daniel, Hunter, Chloe (need more of her!), and Doug's pet farm (IYKYK)! I found the FMC, Alexis relatable though some of her poor decision-making drove me nuts at times. Highly recommend this book!

Rating: 4.5 stars (rounded up to 5).

Thank you, NetGalley and Forever Pub, for the eARC in exchange for my honest review!

Another amazing book by Abby Jimenez!

I loved everything about this one! It was full of emotion – I laughed out loud a few times, Alexis and Daniel’s relationship made me smile and there was a moment I almost cried. Daniel is sweet, down to earth and swoon worthy. Alexis has been dealing with emotional abuse from the men in her life and Daniel was person she needed to realize she deserved better. Their story was absolute perfection.

Thank you to the publisher and NetGalley for an advanced copy in exchange for my honest review.

There was a lot I liked about this one! Daniel was great, the small town, the magical realism element. I loved how supportive Daniel’s friends were and Alexis’s friend Bri. This one really kept me reading, unable to put it down. Even though I knew there was going to be a HEA, it’s a romance after all, I was genuinely nervous reading once I got to a certain point because I could feel the 3rd Act Breakup coming and I wasn’t sure how it was all going to go down.

There were a couple of things I didn’t like. I felt like a lot of the inner monologues were repetitive. All of the realizations Daniel or Alexis would come to felt like A Big Realization, which made the actual Big Realizations not as effective. I also felt there was already enough working against these two – distance, financial differences, family pressures, etc. – without the added element of Alexis being freaked out over their age difference. It really should not have been that big of a deal. It wasn’t like Daniel was 22, just out of college, starting his life. He was a 28-year-old grown-ass adult human being. Who frankly seemed more mature than Alexis at times. ALSO, Alexis’s ex was 10 years older than her but she didn’t see that as an issue? It took her forever to get over the fact that Daniel happened to be 9 years younger than her. It seemed hypocritical, and like such a minor thing compared to the other obstacles they were facing, and it got on my nerves.

ANYWAYS, despite that, I still found myself not wanting to put this one down. Even when it was way past my bedtime. It actually did make me laugh out loud several times, which isn’t always the case these days with books billed as rom-coms.

NO THOUGHTS. JUST LOVE. THIS BOOK WAS ABSOLUTELY AMAZING.

This was my first Abby Jimenez book and y’all she just KNOCKED it out of the part. Out of this universe. I put this one off for so long because I was convinced it was getting overhyped but I binged it on a plane ride and when I tell you I was so incredibly disappointed to finish it… I never wanted it to end.

I LOVE a small town romance and this one checked *every single box*.

I am simply unwell. It was so incredible.

I can’t wait until book 2 comes out next year. I am ITCHING for Briana’s book.

There's not one thing about this book that I didn't love. It is, hands down, my new favorite Abby Jimenez book and it's not even close. I adored Alexis and Daniel, the small town setting was delightful and the touches of magic were perfection.

Yes please!! Love love love this book!! I have actually read it more than once and that is not something I do very often!! I look forward to reading so much from Abby Jimenez. Such great writing, such a great story! Loved it!

It’s amazing how someone can touch you, even if you only know them for a moment in time. How they change you, alter you indelibly.”- Abby Jimenez, Part of Your World

Daniel. Oh Daniel. I’ve been meeting the most amazing book boyfriends lately. Here are a few highlights…
.
-Reverse age gap
-small town vs city
-adorable animals (the norm for Abby’s books) including a baby goat with diapers and pajamas
-heroine who is a doctor
-Both main characters live very different lives
.
While this book had some traditional fun/ funny moments known from author, I think it also had a more serious angsty vibe than her other books. This one has become my favorite. The heroine, Alexis, works as a city ER doctor and Daniel is the mayor/ carpenter and innworker in a small town. Alexis’s family all works in medicine and she’s expected to uphold that legacy. Meanwhile in the small town of Wakan, Daniel lives a peaceful life and first meets Alexis when he tows her out of a ditch and then they actually connect when she walks in to his towns bar/ hangout place. Newly single and out of a bad relationship, Alexis was not looking for an bring serious but sometimes life has other plans for you.
.
Alexis was great ( especially when she had a conversation with another character in the book about believing her) but Daniel really made this book extra special. So did all the magic in the Wakan. The author tackled some heavy topics in this book but I felt like they were well done and weren’t just put in for the sake of it. Some of the possible TW warnings would be emotional & physical abuse, gaslighting, depression and PTSD.
