Abby Jimenez follows up her fabulous Friend Zone trilogy with a new book, PART OF YOUR WORLD. Alexis is medical royalty with all the forced expectations that go along with the title. Daniel is a carpenter with deep roots in his small town, hours from the hospital where Alexis works as an emergency room physician. They meet each other when Alexis encounters car trouble returning from a funeral. Chemistry takes over and they are both smitten.
As distance, people, and circumstances pull them apart, the people and life in Daniel's town draw Alexis to continue to visit and call even though she sees no future with Daniel in her world full of judgmental parents and friends. I couldn't put the book down as I rooted for them, suffered while watching their worlds collide, and worried about how the seemingly unsurmountable obstacles could be overcome.
PART OF YOUR WORLD by Abby Jimenez is filled with characters you will love and some you will love to hate as it covers sensitive subjects including parental expectations, snobbery, emotional partner abuse, and PTSD. Crossing my fingers that there will be more books to revisit Alexis, Daniel, Briana, Doug, and the rest. Highly recommend.
The New York Times bestselling author of Life's
Too Short delivers a refreshingly modern fairy tale perfect
for fans of Casey McQuiston and Emily Henry.
After a wild bet, gourmet grilled-cheese sandwich, and
cuddle with a baby goat, Alexis Montgomery has had her world
turned upside down. The cause: Daniel Grant, a ridiculously
hot carpenter who’s ten years younger than her and as
casual as they come—the complete opposite of
sophisticated city-girl Alexis. And yet their chemistry is
undeniable.
While her ultra-wealthy parents want
her to carry on the family legacy of world-renowned
surgeons, Alexis doesn’t need glory or fame.
She’s fine with being a “mere” ER doctor.
And every minute she spends with Daniel and the tight-knit
town where he lives, she’s discovering just
what’s really important. Yet letting their
relationship become anything more than a short-term fling
would mean turning her back on her family and giving up the
opportunity to help thousands of people.
Bringing
Daniel into her world is impossible, and yet she can’t
just give up the joy she’s found with him either. With
so many differences between them, how can Alexis possibly
choose between her world and his?
