Publisher Description
A novel of terrible first impressions, hilarious second chances, and the joy in finding your perfect match.
"Jimenez is a trule talent." —Emily Henry, NYT 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.
“Abby Jimenez’s words…sprinkle humor and warmth all over my life.” –Ali Hazelwood, New York Times bestselling author of The Love Hypothesis
APPLE BOOKS REVIEW
This feel-good medical romance gave us a serious case of butterflies. Briana is the chief of emergency medicine at her hospital, but her personal life is in shambles. A year after separating from her cheating husband, she’s living in her old childhood home and taking care of her sick brother as he waits to find a kidney donor. Things get even more stressful when a new, distressingly handsome doctor joins the team, although the two quickly develop a lifesaving friendship. We loved Abby Jimenez’s characters. Their imperfections and insecurities—from Briana’s trust issues and inability to keep a plant alive to Jacob’s struggles with anxiety—make them feel so real and relatable, even though they’re trauma doctors. Yours Truly is a heartwarming, fun, and sensitive read about finding the courage to believe in love.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Bestseller Jimenez (Part of Your World) charms with this poignant and often hilarious romance between ER doctors. Briana Ortiz is initially suspicious that new hire Jacob Maddox is out to steal her promotion, but Jacob surprises her by taking himself out of the running. Both are recovering from messy breakups—Jacob with an ex who is now engaged to his brother, Briana with a husband who gaslighted her while carrying on a yearslong affair—and as they grow closer through letters, they help each other recover. However, the idea of faking a relationship to convince Jacob's family that he's moved on could upend their fragile dynamic. Indeed, the ensuing series of communication issues will leave readers wanting to shake some sense into Jimenez's leads. Still, Jacob is a dream boyfriend (down to his willingness to donate a kidney for Briana's brother), and the romantic angst rings true in light of the characters' traumatic past relationships. The laugh-out-loud scenes—including Briana's tale of glitter-bomb revenge and the introduction of a foul-mouthed parrot—are the real highlight. Add in sparkling prose, skillful plotting, and a sensitive approach to Jacob's clinical anxiety, and the result is contemporary romance gold.
