The most recent release by Abby Jimenez, YOURS TRULY, is in the same universe as her last book, PART OF YOUR WORLD. The earlier novel focused on ER doctor Alexis as she struggled with family expectations while embarking on a new relationship with guidance from her best friend, Dr. Briana Ortiz.
The past eighteen months for Briana left her life in a difficult place--her marriage with her husband's infidelity and a sudden disease caused her brother's kidneys to fail. She is living in her childhood bedroom, and her promotion to chief emergency room doctor has been put on hold.
Dr. Jacob Maddox has his own issues causing his anxiety to be out of control. His long-time ex-girlfriend is dating his brother, he had to switch jobs to not see them every day, and his family won't accept the relationship until they see he has moved on. After a bad first impression, the two decide to fake date as a way to solve their problems.
The dialogue throughout YOURS TRULY is both witty and thoughtful as Jacob and Briana fall in love and work through their fears, writing letters to each other. This delightful book is full of interesting supporting characters and the developing relationship will keep you from putting the book down. I've loved all the books Abby Jimenez has written and YOURS TRULY is no exception.
A novel of terrible first impressions, hilarious second chances, and the joy in finding your perfect match from "a true talent" (Emily Henry, #1 New York Times bestselling author).
Dr. Briana Ortiz’s life is seriously flatlining. Her divorce is just about finalized, her brother’s running out of time to find a kidney donor, and that promotion she wants? Oh, that’s probably going to the new man-doctor who’s already registering eighty-friggin’-seven on Briana’s “pain in my ass” scale. But just when all systems are set to hate, Dr. Jacob Maddox completely flips the game . . . by sending Briana a letter.
And it’s a really good letter. Like the kind that proves that Jacob isn’t actually Satan. Worse, he might be this fantastically funny and subversively likeable guy who’s terrible at first impressions. Because suddenly he and Bri are exchanging letters, sharing lunch dates in her “sob closet,” and discussing the merits of freakishly tiny horses. But when Jacob decides to give Briana the best gift imaginable—a kidney for her brother—she wonders just how she can resist this quietly sexy new doctor . . . especially when he calls in a favor she can’t refuse.
