Part of Your World

I don't usually read the big city career/small town guy trope, it feels too Hallmark Christmas to me, but I really enjoyed this book. It felt very realistic to me. Giving up or changing her career was a non-starter. The way they navigate the relationship while she stays true to her career goals was handled well. I liked both main characters and was rooting for them.

The book does deal with issues of emotional and physical abuse, both with the main character, Alexis, and one of the side characters. I liked how they handled it with Alexis, but with the side character, who was in a worse situation, it seemed a little too easily handled.
