Part of Your World

Words will never be able to express how much I absolutely loved this book! I picked up this novel after reading "Just for the Summer" this past month, and I cannot get either book out of my head. I have become so emotionally attached to these books and every single one of the characters. This series will forever have a home on my bookshelf. "Just for the Summer" was the first book that I've ever read by Abby Jimenez. I've said it once and I will say it again: I fell absolutely head over heels in love with her writing. How can someone not love her writing style!? She's funny and quirky! Abby will absolutely shred your heart into a million pieces but then turn around and make your heart WHOLE again! I want it to be known that the books can be read as standalones and do NOT have to be read in order. However, I personally think that a reader would enjoy the novels even more if the books are read in order of publication date. Many of the characters from the first books in the series are friends. Abby basically took the characters we came to love throughout the book and allowed them to share their individual stories in other books within the series. If read in order, you won't miss out on any "Easter Eggs" scattered throughout the books. Regardless of me being a rebel and not reading the books in order, I really wish I would have known and followed direction, lol. Overall, "Part of Your World" was a beautiful read. I love the storyline with my entire heart! This book comes to life quickly as it is being told from two different perspectives. The flow and the overall plot of the storyline is something that every single reader can relate to in some form or fashion - simply unmatched. I absolutely loved both of the main characters, however, Daniel held a special place in my heart as a reader. Daniel's personality and work ethic just made my heart swoon. Daniel's personality reminded me so much of my husband which made me feel that much more emotionally invested in this book. So, tell me what happens when a small-town boy meets a doctor from the city and accidentally fall in love? 5/5 Stars: Abby has made me a lifelong fan of her work, and a fan of RomComs. The romance in this novel is just as much as sweet as it is spicy. Abby's books are like a vacation from reality, and leave my heart so full. I will be recommending this book to fellow readers for years to come. Thank you, Abby! <3

4⭐️ Solid first read from Abby Jimenez This was my first book by Abby Jimenez, and I was really impressed with her writing. The romance was sweet, funny, and well-paced—the dynamic between the FMC and MMC had all the charm I look for in a good romcom. That said, something about the FMC’s sense of entitlement rubbed me the wrong way. While it didn’t derail the story or the HEA, and she never lets it fully interfere with her growth or relationship, it was hard to ignore at times. Still, I’d definitely recommend this one—especially if you're planning to continue the series. A strong start with plenty of heart!

I am in absolute disbelief over how great this book is! Part of Your World is one of those rare reading experiences where you realize within the first few pages that you’re in the hands of a truly gifted storyteller. Abby Jimenez’s writing is, without exaggeration, one of the most marvelous, effortless, and beautifully flowing styles I have ever read. There are absolutely no fillers — not one wasted sentence — from page one all the way to the end. Every scene serves a purpose, every emotion hits exactly where it’s supposed to, and every line feels alive. I read this book in a single day because I simply could not put it down! The chemistry between Alexis and Daniel is magnetic, tender, and deeply immersive. Their worlds contrast so strongly — her structured, high-pressure, city life versus his warm, grounded, small-town charm — and yet their connection feels inevitable. The way Jimenez builds their relationship is nothing short of masterful: slow-burn tension, heart-melting moments, laugh-out-loud humor, and emotional depth that catches you off guard in the best way. The themes of family expectations, healing, self-worth, choosing your own happiness, and breaking free from toxic cycles are woven in with such skill that you feel every moment right along with the characters. Daniel’s kindness and emotional maturity? Absolutely irresistible. Alexis’s journey toward reclaiming her identity and joy? Empowering and beautifully done. And the side characters — from the adorable dog to the charming townspeople — make the world feel rich, comforting, and incredibly real. This book gave me warmth, romance, drama, humor, and hope, all perfectly balanced. It’s one of those stories that stays with you, one you want to hug when you finish because it made you feel so much. Abby Jimenez simply did not miss. She wrote an emotionally intelligent romance that felt both modern and timeless, and Part of Your World was just a magical work. If I could give it six stars, I absolutely would! My first thought was actually to read Yours Truly, since everyone says it is her best piece of work. But since it is connected to this one, I decided to begin with Part of Your World and leave “the best” for last. Now I’m thinking… how in the world is Abby Jimenez going to top this? How can anything be better than what I just read? I cannot wait for the next book in this series. I am so curious to see how this gifted author will work her magic again. I am truly in awe of her talent. What a phenomenal writer!

Reading this book was very humbling in many ways. Seeing city life versus small town life with all the pros and cons caused me to reflect on many things. We know a lot of Alexis’s in our lives who lives to please others but eventually finds the strength to stand for themselves. Daniel got a wake up call in self worth when it came down to his talent. Domestic violence isn’t an easy topic to cover but I believe the author shed awareness while empowering the characters. I would recommend this book to anyone who needs a wake up call to follow their dreams. I gave this book 4 stars because it was a fun read even though certain parts were heavy. There is something for everyone in this book. Grace cost us nothing. That phrase will stick with me for a long time.

J'ai découvert Abby Jimenez au début de l'été avec une nouvelle de 60 pages (Worst wingman ever, uniquement en anglais), et j'étais tombée immédiatement amoureuse de sa plume. Le charme a encore opéré avec cette fois-ci ce roman, sorti en France il y a quelques mois. C'est une histoire douce, tendre, magique et romantique qui m'a enveloppée dans une ambiance cocooning, c'est le genre de roman dans lequel on se sent bien, qu'on n'a pas envie de terminer et auquel on pense encore, plusieurs jours après l'avoir terminé. Abby Jimenez rend ses personnages authentiques, humains, on a l'impression de les connaître, de partager leur vie et d'être un témoin privilégié de ces moments de vie auxquels on assiste. C'est un roman qui parle des attentes des autres, du poids des traditions et des attentes familiales et de la difficulté à s'en affranchir. Daniel et Alexis (c'est un prénom féminin ^^) portent tous les deux un héritage familial important, qui ne peut pas être abandonné aisément. Ils viennent de deux univers diamétralement opposés : elle est issue d'un monde de privilégiés où ce sont les apparences, la richesse et la renommée qui importent, tandis que lui vient d'un endroit où les valeurs de d'amitié, de solidarité et d'entraide sont au centre de tout. Et curieusement, Alexis s'adapte à merveille à la vie tranquille de Daniel, elle s'épanouit dans cette petite ville paumée. Avec lui, avec les habitants de Wakan, elle peut véritablement être elle-même, et pas l'héritière que sa famille veut qu'elle soit. Finalement, la différence d'âge n'est pas si marquée entre eux, je trouve que Daniel est ce qu'on appelle une "vieille âme", c'est un homme sérieux, posé, avec de très belles valeurs. La romance est très belle, j'ai été complètement séduite par Daniel, qui est un mec absolument adorable, attentionné, bricoleur, gentil et puis zut, son bébé chèvre en pyjama, on en parle ? J'ai vraiment tout aimé dans ce roman, et ce petit côté magique propre à Wakan apporte une touche de féerie originale, et s'accorde vraiment bien au roman. Pour moi, c'est un coup de coeur, autant pour le roman que pour l'autrice, et j'adore cette sensation de tomber amoureuse d'une plume, ce sentiment de joie à l'idée que plusieurs titres me tendent les bras et s'apprêtent à rejoindre ma bibliothèque ! Pour une fois que de supers titres comme celui-ci sont traduits en VF, n’hésitez pas, et foncez vous le procurer !

5 star book , highly recommend to buy

Så bra

t's a good story, there's a female take on a love relationship. There are parts that tend to be fanciful, but they don't compromise the whole.

Loved this book was great to read
