I am so excited for this book! In my world, Abby Jimenez can do no wrong so I couldn't wait to dive into chapters 1-4. I'm already on the edge of my seat and cannot wait to read the rest. Whether you've read every Abby Jimenez book or this is your first, don't wait and pick it up today! You'll laugh, smile, cry, and every other emotion too. Don't miss out on one of my absolutely favorites! Can't wait for the full book!

The first four chapters of this are AMAZING and will have you trying to find ways to take the day off on April 19, release day, so that you can devour the rest of the book.

After just this little teaser you already have a great sense of Alexis and Daniel as our main characters and the wild ride that Abby is going to take us on telling the story. Their first meeting is adorable, chapter four ends on a cliffhanger, and there is a baby goat. IN PAJAMAS.

It's definitely going to be worth the wait for everyone to get the full book!

I've been given the privilege to read the first four chapters of Abby Jimenez's book (along with the rest of net galley 😉) and all I can say is I cannot wait for the official release. I'm 100% an audiobook girl, but I read - yes, with my eyeballs 👀 this preview immediately after it was downloaded. I fact, it's the first book I actually read in years!

The story begins with the heroine already in dire circumstances. Okay not dire, however you catch my drift. The heroine was in need of help. Throw in some hilarious real life predicaments (Stranded, needing to pee and wearing Spanx...nuff said!) a dash of some cute animals and you've got a recipe for success.

Abby has a way of telling a story with characters and substance that readers can relate to while still managing to fit in humor and sarcasm. After finishing the preview of Part of Your World I'm left with a cliffhanger and marking the date of my calendar for its release day. (ps - I marked the calendar weeks ago!)

Let me just say I GOBBLED this up!! I've enjoyed the rest of Abby's books that I've read but I think this might be my favorite if the first few chapters are anything to go by!?!

This PREVIEW had me laughing and smiling and I'm already hooked. I think it may have been a mistake to read it because now I want to rest and I will likely have to wait. UGGHHGHGGH. I can't say I really regret it though because it was THAT good.

I haven't read a Dual POV in a hot minute and this just reminded me of how much I like them. BRB while I go read ALL the Dual POV books and anxiously wait for this to come out.

Awesome intro to the book! Great storyline and set up! I had to read the rest ASAP and am so grateful for the advanced copy. It was like winning the lottery.

Abby Jimenez is such a unique writer. She creates stories that are completely relatable, have the sharp wit that keeps it light, yet there is always an undertone of what is to come. I need more of this book. I can already tell by just 4 chapters that this will be yet another winner in her expanding library of work.

Daniel and Alexis are couple gold, I have no doubt about it.

Thanks for the preview.

The first four chapter were enough to get me hooked and wanting to read more! I love how Alexis and Daniel meet and their banter is hilarious. I was anxious to get ahold of the rest of the book even after just four chapters!

Undecided if Abby Jimenez is gloriously generous or mildly malicious for sharing Chapters 1–4 of Part of Your World so early in advance of it’s highly anticipated release slated March 2022.

Two of these three F•R•I•E•N•D•S gave in to their unbridled excitement and D-E-V-O-U-R-E-D the chapters.

We legitimately feel the elation like electricity in our veins at the thought of reading the rest of the novel.

This early look features characteristic Abby protagonist development establishing unique, well-rounded and relatable main characters with a hilarious cast of supporting characters that take the shape of close friends-turned-family.

In only 30 pages Abby expertly and with true lyrical beauty sets up intricate plot elements, sub plots and an intriguing storyline. She gives you just enough to peak your appetite and leave you salivating for more.

We’re obsessed. Her writing, diction, storylines, meaningful and purposeful attention paid to the inclusion of significant issues, and overall marriage of sexy banter and wittiness sublet Part of your World rent free in our heads.

Blazing ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️/5 stars.

Just read the preview and it has the same charm and feel of Abby's earlier books. Can't wait for this one!

I read the preview for Abby Jimenez's new novel, Part of Your World, and was immediately sucked in. I enjoyed the two main characters and the interactions we saw between them in the first four chapters. I loved their flirting at the bar and Daniel spilling about the bet. Their interactions were cute and fun and I'm excited to see how their relationship continues to unfold.

I also really liked the humor reflected in the book. I am from the Midwest, and the line about guys Tinder profiles and how they're most likely posing with a fish is so on point. I laughed out loud at that part and I think that is about when I determined that I need to read the book.

Overall a great preview and I'm excited to read the rest of the book.

I really enjoyed this sneak peek of Part of Your World! When her car breaks down in the middle of nowhere, Alexis is rescued by a handsome stranger. After they leave a bar together, baby goats and grilled cheese sandwiches ensue! I was intrigued by this chapter sampler, it went by way too quickly! Jimenez’s writing is witty and relatable. I saw it was compared to Casey McQuiston and Emily Henry, which made me eager to check out this latest installment from Jimenez. I couldn’t put down this chapter sampler and I will absolutely be picking up a copy of this book when it is available! Part of Your World releases April 19, 2022. Thank you so much to Abby Jimenez, Forever (Grand Central Publishing), and Netgalley for a free sneak peek in exchange for honest feedback.

I was lucky enough to get a preview of the book Part of Your World by Abby Jimenez and let me tell you it was the quickest four chapters ever. From the moment I scrolled to the first page I was hooked. From funeral to one night stand? I can not wait to get my hands on this book and see what happens next!

Oh my goodness, how does Abby Jimenez keep getting better and better! (I love that, don’t get me wrong!) I only read the first few chapters with this preview, and I NEED to finish this book ASAP! I have read all of her other books, and I know this book will be another favorite. Abby Jimenez, I’m so grateful for you and the talent you share with all of us! I’m also a fellow Minnesotan, so I’m even more proud of you! Forever Publishing, please consider approving my request to read the entire book on NetGalley. Now that I’ve gotten a taste, I won’t be able to wait until April 2022 to finish!

I’ve read the first 4 chapters. Honestly I’m hooked. I just need to find a copy in the next 6 months so I can finish. The story starts out great but I want to know more about their struggles and what the 2 characters have in common. The MMC seems super sweet and he has a Kid!

Abby Jimenez writes the best Meet Cutes and this one is right up there. I'd love to see Small Town Iowa guy get together with Big City Minneapolis woman. I can relate. I'm the small town girl, that met a big city guy!

Thank you to NetGalley and Abby Jimenez for the advanced reader copy of the first four chapters. I will update once I read the final book.
At this point, Abby Jimenez is definitely a must buy author for me. Though I had some personal issues with Life’s Too Short, I generally love her books. This one has definitely grabbed me at the start. Alexis and Daniel (even in the short bit I read) seem like characters who will be well fleshed out and I’m excited to see where the plot goes.

Loved this preview and can’t wait to read the rest. I’m just a few pages, Abby has set up an intriguing story and Alexis and Daniel have promising chemistry.

4 chapters is just not enough! I can't wait until I can read more! Abby has done a wonderful job of creating a world where you feel like you are sitting next to the characters and watching the story unfold. Abby has promised her readers that there will always be a dog in her books, but now she upped the ante to include a baby goat in pajamas! I wish I could have read further to see how that played into the story more. April 2022 can't come fast enough for me to read the rest of the story.

I’m so excited for this book and this little teaser made it even worse! I’m interested already and can’t wait to see how this love story plays out! Love Abby’s writing and looking forward to seeing what she has come up with next.

Ahhhhh...Abby Jimenez is such a great story teller. This preview just gets us started with the first 4 chapters of Part of Your World, but OH what a world it is! She had hinted in one of her TikTok's about how this story begins, and it's all that AND a baby goat in pajamas! The unlikely pair meet on the side of the road in a small town, and we've got just enough to make us start a countdown calendar until April 19, 2022 for the FULL release of this 4th book from this delightful author!

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!
