Publisher Description
'Jimenez is a true talent' Emily Henry, New York Times bestselling author of Beach Read
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, 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?

APPLE BOOKS REVIEW
In Part of Your World, Abby Jimenez delivers a humorous yet sensitive romance set within the same universe as her successful The Friend Zone series. When Dr Alexis Montgomery unexpectedly finds herself stuck in a small town, she also finds herself drawn to Daniel Grant—a carpenter 10 years her junior, playfully affectionate and just the type of fun she needs. As Alexis and Daniel become entangled, Jimenez crafts a realistic and contemporary star-crossed lovers’ tale, where family legacies, past relationships and privilege serve as thought-provoking barriers to happily ever after.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
The charm and communal spirit of a small town bring an unlikely couple together in this layered, soul-stirring romance from Jimenez (Life's Too Short). Alexis Montgomery and her twin brother, Derek, have been groomed since birth to follow in their famous father's footsteps, continuing the family legacy of excellence and philanthropy at Royaume Northwestern Hospital. ER doctor Alexis was content to let Derek bear the mantel, but when he chooses to marry for love instead of station, his parents disown him and put all the pressure on Alexis. Overwhelmed by her father's expectations—among them that she should reconcile with her emotionally abusive ex—Alexis escapes the city on regular visits to the enchanting small town of Wakan. There she meets laid-back carpenter Daniel Grant, who's 10 years her junior and everything her parents would hate. Through Daniel, Alexis learns what unwavering love and support feel like, but with both of them entrenched in separate worlds, will they be able to make it work? Jimenez dexterously tackles class difference and shades her endearing side characters with as much care as her lovable leads. The result is an emotional roller coaster centered on love as a source of empowerment.
