Part of Your World

A refreshingly modern fairy tale and instant New York Times bestseller that Love Hypothesis author Ali Hazelwood hails as "an uplifting, feel-good, romantic read."

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?

"Abby Jimenez's words are like fairy dust... they sprinkled humor and warmth all over my life. Pick up Part of Your World if you're looking for an uplifting, feel-good, romantic read--and for a beautiful reminder that we should always try to live the life that makes us the happiest." --Ali Hazelwood, New York Times bestselling author of The Love Hypothesis

cute, easy to read, funny romance. I liked the older fmc and younger mmc. also really enjoyed that he was such a manly man that did a lot of things with his hands, but knew how to treat a woman. I got a kick out of the dick Pic part. but my favorite part was when she finally stands up to her parents and does what she wants. and it was the best solution so they could be together.

This book was DARLING!! Like stepping into a Hallmark movie but a bit more depth and reality. I feel like there are parts of this that I resonated with more than I would’ve thought. Two very different people at completely different walks of life figure out and choose how to be part of each other’s world and it’s quite the combination. Danielle is the handyman and Alexis knows how to be a great Doctor. Such a fun read! 🌶️🌶️

Hate to be a dissenter on this but it just really wasn't for me. Everything was just a bit too caricatured. I get that Alexis grew up rich and coddled - but she didn't even know how to use a broom? Her "bad" friends were basically Cinderella's stepsisters. Daniel was adorable but almost too good to be true, he didn't feel real to me. And he put up with so much from her. Then the town itself willing things to be - just too much for me!
