All the makings of a great intro. Meet cute and heartache in need of healing. Best friend encouraging her along and damsel in distress. First four chapters reel you in. It doesn’t make you roll your eyes with the cliché feel of the damsel rescued and initially not falling all over the guy. You are eager to finish this story to see where this journey goes even if it’s ending predictably.

I need the rest of this book right now!!!!!! I cannot believe chapter 4 ended like that. WOW! Part of Your World begins with Alexis accidentally driving her car into a ditch to avoid hitting a raccoon and luckily Daniel comes to her rescue. Later that night they run into each other at the local bar and you can instantly feel their chemistry. I cannot wait for the release of this book and see how their story plays out!

i have read Jimenez's book The Friend Zone, and while i rated it a low 2 stars, it was mainly because of how toxic the relationship in that book was.

I'm reviewing this as i read it:

Weird that the dude lets his dog hang out outside while helping, like the dog is on the girl's car, so he could be scratching it and i would be pissed if it was me in that car. also maybe call the police or at least tell the friend your on the phone with all the details about this dude, because he could legit kill you right now. Isn't putting the eight ball into a pocket before it's the last ball on the table is automatic losing? unless they're playing a different game. what a cliff hanger for that last chapter thou!

i'll be for sure checking out this book when it is published!

I enjoyed the preview and it made me interested to learn more about the characters. I thought that the conversation between Alexis and Bri was very relatable and humorous and I’m looking forward to reading more about their dynamic, as well as the relationship between Alexis and Derek, her twin. The way the first few chapters are set up left me with a lot of curiosity about what will happen next that I’m eager to discover. I really like Daniel, picking up golden retriever energy, and his banter with Alexis was very cute.

Definitely need to continue reading this after the way chapter 4 left off.

Wow! 4 chapters was not enough. That was so good. I need to rest if the book now!!

I have been hearing fantastic things about this book on Instagram so I knew I wanted to give it a try.

I’ve never read a book by this author before even though I own several of her books, but this story had me hooked from the first few pages so it definitely has me excited to eventually read this full book.

I love when an author can write something so funny that flows so smoothly and that is exactly what this author did. I absolutely think I need to go request an arc of the full book because I have to know what happens next.

I’m a sucker for good romcoms, and Abby Jimenez definitely has the hand for writing a great romcom. Four chapters and I’m hooked! I need the rest of this book in my life! The people of small town USA, reminds me of my hometown and the crazy but love able people there. Daniel and Alexis have the chemistry that I love to see. I can’t wait to read more.

Oh, god! What did I just get myself into? I didn’t get approved for an ARC, but I’ve devoured all of Abby Jimenez’s books and figured the preview would be fun. I was right—and oh so very wrong all at the same time.

It WAS fun. And perfect. And charming. And witty. And sweet. And I am severely hooked and now have to wait SIX months to finish this tale.

I don’t read duets or trilogies until all of the books are out. I don’t watch a series unless I can binge the entire thing. And now I’ve gone and done this. I have no one to blame except myself. Well, and Abby for being such an incredibly talented author. *sigh*

Will update this review next year (!!!), but given every book of her is 5 stars and this one is one I won’t soon forget (even though I only read four chapters), I’m sure the rating won’t change. Oh, and if you haven’t read her Friend Zone series, go now. Trust me on that. There are three books in the series, but can all be read as standalones. :)

Part of Your World by Abby Jimenez has me hooked in the first four chapters! It was sweet and perfect and intriguing! I will definitely be reading the full book when it comes out!

Just the preview gave me butterflies! I think that Abby Jimenez’s books just keep getting better and better. Love how she sets up her characters so effortlessly. Cannot wait to read this one!

I knew from Abby's TikTok teaser that this would be good, but dagnabbit Abby, why ya have to go leaving us hanging at the nekkid part!?

*Goes to pre-order book*

I'm looking forward to adding this novel to my Jimenez collection and I'm taking bets on how long it takes for Abby to talk her husband into adopting a baby goat.

This review is only for the first 4 chapter preview of Part of Your World by Abby Jimenez. After being immediately thrust into the unfortunate situation of Alexis, stuck in a ditch after attending a funeral of a family member, we are introduced to sexy bearded Daniel, who saves the day and tows her car out. When their paths cross again later that night, their banter is cute and chemistry palpable. The preview leaves the reader looking forward to how the romance between the two will play out, while foreshadowing the class mismatch that will likely impact their budding relationship. As with Abby's previous novels, we've also been introduced to Bri, Alexis's best friend, and hope for more of the hilarious yet off color type of forever friendship Abby wooed us with in TFZ and HEAP between Kristen and Sloane. When the characters can pull you into a book so quickly, it is very promising that the book will be a 10/10. Can't wait to read the rest!

Oh how I want more from this book, so much so that I've already pre-ordered it. From the start it was a little bit goofy and definitely fun, the two leads, Alexis and Daniel, had believable chemistry from the start. While the last book was a bit of a disappointment for me, I was cautiously hopeful that this one would be a return to "The Friend Zone" and "The Happily Ever After Playlist". From what I've read so far it definitely seems to be the case. I already can't wait to see what happens between Alexis and Daniel and I'm a little bummed I have to wait 5 months to find out.

Absolutely amazing. In typical Abby fashion I was hooked from the first page. This is so so good. I couldn’t put it down!
You’ll fall in love with our heroine & the small town she gets stuck in and all its quirky characters immediately. I can’t wait to buy this book as soon as I can. I’ve been recommending Abby’s books to everyone, and I’ve purchased extra copies of the first 3 books so that I have a backup copy to loan out or keep as a “just in case” copy.

I don’t have enough words for how much I love this book. Abby, thank you for your words and bringing your characters to life

Oh NetGalley, you give such a little taste and leave me wanting more!! I am dying to know what happens with Abby and Daniel. Such a big fan of Abby Jimenez. I hope my request for the full version will be granted soon- don’t leaving me hanging for too long!

Thank you to NetGalley and Forever for the chance to read a preview of this book!

This cover is stunning and I can't take my eyes off it. But the story doesn't bring anything fresh, just contrived rom com setups I've seen a hundred times before. Even the reveal about the kid being a baby goat just made my roll my eyes. I won't read further but I will keep making googly eyes at the cover!

OMG!! I HAVE NEVER BEEN SO EXCITED TO READ THIS BOOK!! I have been so hooked from the beginning and I can’t wait to continue their story.

I just read the first 4 chapters of Part of your World and I am so excited to read the rest. I was so sad to be left on a cliff hanger wondering what happened. I think the characters so far are great and fun. And as always Abby didn’t disappoint with the animal character which is a baby goat in this one. Definitely will be counting down the days until this one comes out!

Read the preview and can’t wait for the full book! The way she uses humor to deal with real life issues is unbelievable, Abby appears to have done it again.

I loved this preview! I couldn’t wait to read the rest of the book. Abby describes her characters so well, makes them so real, and hooks you in so you can’t wait to find out what happens next.
