Part of Your World

4.75/5 ⭐
Finally my first Abby Jimenez book! It really surprised me because at first I wasn't really into it and thought I would hate it. Mostly because of the insta-lust and also the small-town thing. I've never read a fwb type book and I didn't know that that's what this was going to be so it caught me off guard when they had a “one night stand” within like 3 chapters. But when they started falling for each other the book got good. Also I went in expecting a cute fluffy romance so I was surprised when the book started talking about the abusive cycle and family pressures and stuff like that. I wasn't surprised in a bad way though. It was informative without sounding like a schoolbook or like they're monologuing. Daniel deserves the world and Alexis better treat that man well. He did seem a little unrealistic sometimes when he would never ever get upset with her but is that not what fictional men are for? I loved the way all the main characters were written. I loved all the characters that I was supposed to love and hated all the characters I was supposed to hate. I can't tell if maybe I actually like small-town romances or if I just love this book. I know now that I shouldn't go into Abby Jimenez books when I want a cute lighthearted romance but when I want a romance that deals with real-life problems and is a little heavier, I will absolutely be reaching for an Abby Jimenez book.
