About this listen

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

Editorial review


By Patty K Rivera, Audible Editor

PART OF YOUR WORLD PACKS A POWERFUL MESSAGE INTO A DELICIOUSLY SWEET ROM-COM

Long before I devoured her debut novel The Friend Zone, Abby Jimenez had a fan in me because of a cake. Both a romance author and the owner of a bakery called Nadia Cakes, Jimenez was responding to a flurry of comments about a geode cake gone wrong—and her sassy, hilarious responses went viral in the best way. From the moment I saw that early audio for Part of Your World was in my library, I dropped everything I was doing, ignored my overflowing TBLT, and started to listen to what would become my favorite of all of her novels.

This dual POV rom-com follows Alexis Montgomery, a city girl who gets stuck in a ditch in the small town of Wakan. She receives help from a handsome stranger, Daniel Grant, and the two end up spending the night together. What starts as a fling soon turns into much more, as Alexis finds herself caught between her demanding family and their legacy at Royaume Northwestern Hospital, and her growing feelings for Daniel. As their relationship deepens, Alexis is faced with a difficult decision—continue to pursue her family's medical legacy or choose a new path with Daniel in Wakan.

I cannot, and will not, ignore the supporting characters in Part of Your World, especially because one of them (Brianna) is the protagonist in the second book of the Part of Your World Trilogy, Yours Truly. The rest of the cast consists of a baby goat in pajamas, a very silly man named Doug, a deaf Pudelpointer, and a pig known as Kevin Bacon—all there for comedic relief, and boy do they deliver!

Aside from the romance, what I loved the most about the story is how authentic Abby Jimenez is in her writing, all while delving into some serious topics. One of Abby’s objectives for Part of Your World was educating her audience on the different aspects of abuse that are not often discussed by putting the listener right in the brain of someone living through it. Through Alexis's journey, we see how emotional abuse can impact how someone approaches not just the decisions they make but the way that they love in the future too. The novel also explores themes of friendship, heartbreak, and the desire to escape, all while delivering a powerful message that "grace costs you nothing."

Feel good romcom

This author expressed the emotions of the characters so thoroughly they were palpable to the reader. I felt so connected that it brought both heartbroken tears and tears of joy on multiple occasions.

Enjoyed this book

Glad I bought this book. Serious abuse topic wrapped in with an off limits romance. Good messages in there. Written in a way that had me laughing out loud a couple of times. Great narration.

Funny & Predictable

Even though it was predictable it is well written and funny. It was an easy listen, I will check out other books by this author.

Has it All

Narration, Julia and Zach knocked it out of the park! The author pulls you in with some comedy and a baby goat in pj's! the book has some serious parts and Alexis has to sort through a lot of baggage before she figures it out. Daniel is Swooney, and Brie is the bomb. trigger for domestic abuse psychological and physical, but it is handled very well. you can see in advance that it will all be tied up with a bow but ye not quite sure how she is going to get there.

Once is not enough!

After listening to Part of Your World and loving the story and the narrators I just had to immediately listen to it again. That's how good it is, just like the authors first 3 books which I've already listened to at least 3-4 times.

My favorite Abby Jimenez book!!!

I have read all four of Abby’s books and each one is better than the last ( I loved them all!) the storyline kept me hooked and wanting more. And the readers of this book had great voices for their parts.
Can’t wait until 2023!
