especially when he calls in a favor she can’t refuse.(3TV/CBS 5) - Abby Jimenez just may be the most interesting woman in the world! She’s competed on the Food Network, is the owner of Nadia Cakes, a bakery that ships all across the country, and is a bestselling author (not to mention mom to pets who are very popular on social media.) She joins the podcast to talk about her new novel “Part of Your World,” which she describes as an “age gap, social gap romance” about Alexis Montgomery and Daniel Grant, a doctor and carpenter who meet-cute when she’s driving through town and her car gets stuck in the mud.
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. Because suddenly he and Bri are exchanging letters, sharing lunch dates in her “sob closet,” and discussing the merits of freakishly tiny horses. Worse, he might be this fantastically funny and subversively likeable guy who’s terrible at first impressions. Like the kind that proves that Jacob isn’t actually Satan. by sending Briana a letter.Īnd it’s a really good letter. But just when all systems are set to hate, Dr. 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. Briana Ortiz’s life is seriously flatlining. It was a joy to discover.Ī novel of terrible first impressions, hilarious second chances, and the joy in finding your perfect match.ĭr. Yours Truly brims with depth and feeling and insight, and it makes such a heartfelt case for why love matters. This story did all the things to me that I’m always hoping stories will do: pulled me in, held me spellbound, made me care and laugh and worry and hope-activating all kinds of longing and then satisfying it all.
They are both so complex, so in need of love healing, and so worth rooting for in all their struggles-it’s a delight to see how falling for each other inspires them to be brave in love. They feel like real people: flawed in some ways but so wise in others getting it wrong sometimes, but trying like heck good-hearted and earnest and lovable. At first, they seem destined to clash, but as life keeps throwing them together, they get the chance to look past first impressions. I spent a sunny spring weekend gulping this story down on a blanket in the yard, and I fell madly in love with Briana and Jacob-two ER doctors who have been quite unlucky in love. Put me in the Abby Jimenez fan club-because I could tell in a matter of sentences that I was in the hands of a writer who knew exactly what she was doing, and I could relax and just let her take me wherever we needed to go.
From the very first page of Yours Truly, I knew I was going to love it.
