Another fabulous book by Abby! Abby has an amazing way of fully immersing you into her worlds and making readers fall in love with her characters. I always have the worst book hangovers after finishing an Abby book.

*Thank you to the publisher and NetGalley for providing me with an ARC of this title. All thoughts and opinions are my own and were in no way influenced by receiving this copy.

I hated book 1. Part of your world was chuegy and truly awful and I did NOT want to read this one. The only reason I did was becuase I had already requested it on NetGalley before reading book 1 and felt like I owed it to the author, that since they gifted me the book they deserved my honest opinion of it, even if that means it was bad, since the first book was bad I didn't expect this one to be good.

Lol. I was wrong.

I literally could not put this one down. I wanted to keep reading so BAD, I needed to know when they would FINALLY confess their feelings for each other and boink one out because the sexual tension was so heavy. I don't think I've read a book in a WHILE that I couldn't put down like this (except for my top read of the year this year, no one compares to you bb).

But Emily, you only gave it 4 stars, I thought you loved it?? I did, I loved this SO much, and it was a 5star read for me, until the FOURTH SURPRISE PREGNANCY. I think that having 4 surprise pregnancies can be done well in a book, however, when ALL of those pregnancies are introduced to the reader within...5 chapters (?) maybe just a few more? It's way too much. I was overwhelmed. One was enough, like pick a couple to get pregnant and THAT be your pregnant couple (unless the couple was Nick and what's her name, then yes I would've accepted Brie's (? idk how to spell her name, I listed to this) surprised pregnancy with Nick that she miscarried as an acceptable second surprise pregnancy, as it made her feel feelings and all that, that's it though). It was just way too much for me in so few chapters, and really pulled me out of the story.

This book is a captivating and immersive read that hooks you from the first page. The writing is beautifully crafted, with vivid descriptions and strong character development that makes the story come alive. The plot is well-paced, balancing moments of tension with quieter, reflective scenes that allow the characters to grow. The themes explored are deep and thought-provoking, resonating long after the final page. Whether it's the emotional depth, the twists and turns of the plot, or the unforgettable characters, this book is a must-read for anyone who enjoys rich, engaging stories. Highly recommended

I absolutely loved this book! It was sweeter and not as spicy as part of your world, but it was honestly amazing. Author Abby Jimenez did an amazing job setting up and exploring this love story. Every character, main and side, was beautiful and fully fleshed out. I honestly could not have asked for a better book!

I love Abby Jimenez books, especially this one! I was in a bit of a reading rut and it got me right out of it. I adore the way she develops her characters and includes real life scenarios and challenges, I highly recommend!!!

Accidentally read this one before the first book in the series, but it holds up fine as a standalone. This is a novel of mistaken first impressions and people who aren't what they seem. Bri and Jacob have a sweetly old-fashioned dynamic, including wooing by letter (swoon). Throw in some fake dating, and this was an enjoyable read that also made me cry.

Thanks to Netgalley, the publisher, and the author for the ARC to review. All opinions are my own.

Abby Jimenez just gets it. She has such an incredible writing style, so funny and deep and I like the interworkings of this world connecting the characters to each other. I am already looking forward to reading her next book - I know it's coming!

This book is by far one of my most favorite that I have read. I have never felt so seen mentally and emotionally regarding anxiety. The author provided in depth knowledge regarding anxiety and handled the subject with care. I adore Abby already, but this book took it to the next level. Thank you for allowing me to read!

Amazing ♡ it has a feel of a certain medical drama but with the always hilarious Abby Jimenez humor.

Wow wow wow! I never expected to love these characters so much, especially after our first introduction to the MMC but my goodness do they grow on you and so quickly! The mental health struggles are so real and relatable and the support of the supporting characters is incredible to see, it’s what everyone should have in their lives! Truly another incredible book from an incredible author!

I absolutely loved this book. It is a favorite that I've read this year. I'm have, the entire series has been great. I recommend Yours Truly regularly on social media and to friends and family. Abby has unbeatable banter and I love that she talks about mental health.

I couldn’t put this book down and stayed up later than I have in years to finish the first day I got it. I’m often nervous when I recommend a book to others whileI wait for feedback but I’ve never once worried that someone wouldn’t fall in love with Abby!

Yours Truly quickly became one of my top reads. Brianna and Jacob were amazing characters and Abby made sure to include happy, sad, funny, all the feelings! It was a roller coaster of emotions to read and I was so sad when it ended

A story about the worst first impression followed by second chance surprises confirms you never know what another person is dealing with by just looking in. Getting to know each other in laugh out loud situations, Briana & Jacob learn how much easier they can navigate through life's unexpected curves together.

I loved this SO much. Every single Abby Jimenez book has been absolutely perfect. I loved Briana & Jacobs story so much and how it intertwined with the characters in Part of Your World as well.
So amazing! Definitely an auto read author for me now!

I haven’t read a book that has touched my soul, like this one, in a very long time, but then again, Abby Jimenez continues to prove she can do no wrong. Set in the same world as Part of Your World, this is the story of two emergency room doctors who, after a bevy of wrong first impressions, become each other’s safe place at a time in their lives when they’re both feeling adrift and alone. Jimenez just knows how to create characters that make you feel like you’d step in front of a moving train for them, characters that embody a certain type of strong that is selfless and kind, characters that linger in our minds long after the book ends. Equal parts heart and heartbreak, yet every romantic’s dream come true, this is Abby Jimenez at her best—making us want to live in her stories forever.

This was a beautiful story! It's one of my favorites by Abby, and I've read all of her books. The chemistry and tenderness between the love interests were so endearing and special to read about. I also really appreciated the social anxiety rep from Jacob!

All the stars!!!!!

All the feels!!!!!

Highly recommend!!!!

Brianna and Jacob! The mental health representation here was superb! The support and maturity between these two is what makes me read read romance. Abby can do no wrong in my book and this book tops the list!

Okay, so the characters get 5 stars because they had me HOOKED. I absolutely loved Briana and Jacob. What I did not love was the trope that took up over half the book. Miscommunication will give me the ick every time because y'all could be so happy if you just talked it out!

Overall, I'll rate it about 4 stars, because that trope was so prominent that it was a little torturous. But I rate my babies 5 stars because they had some of the best chemistry I've ever read. The angst, the pining was palpable. They are perfect for each other! I loved each character individually as well.

I also loved seeing a male love interest with anxiety/social anxiety representation. It was refreshing and I just found it realistic so thumbs up for my guy Jacob.

I love Abby Jimenez books and this one was no exception. Her writing is so funny and relatable. I loved her depiction of a supportive partner for someone dealing with anxiety. I loved all of the family members, especially the grandpa. I LOVE this series. While this book was my least favorite of the series, I still gave it four stars and enjoyed it. Although I find books frustrating where most of the plot is fueled by a classic miscommunication and could’ve been avoided had someone just spoken up. Still a great read and installment in the series.
