Part of Your World by Abby Jimenez -> Starting May 21st, 2022

[Aly]

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?

Up to chapter 7
(view spoiler)[ ok, so far I am loving this book. I’m really enjoying the double POV and Daniel is HILARIOUS. I was also super excited about the reverse age gap. It’s a bit “big” but I’m here for it. I just can’t with some of the things Daniel says lol. However I was a little disappointed that they slept together soooo quickly, I read the happily ever after playlist and it just wasn’t enough of a slow burn for me and I’m nervous this book will be the same, but I was so excited to see Lola’s name appear!

Chapter 11
(view spoiler)[ ok, I’m really hoping this book isn’t behind closed doors. I want some spice!!! I love Daniel sooo much. I’m not convinced with the ages tho. I feel like Alexis isn’t 37. Maybe early 30s at most? Idk. But this book is so stinking cute. And the fact she keeps stealing his hoodies is adorable. (hide spoiler)]

Chapter 13
Thirteen
(view spoiler)[ omg Daniel reads - swooooonnnn. Also I died at “you know, reading makes your penis look bigger - don’t quote me on it, the science is really new.” (hide spoiler)]

[Ashlyn]

Chapter 7 (view spoiler)[I’m loving Daniel, and the animal names are just too good! I completely agree about the sleeping together. It just was there and I was like what?? (hide spoiler)]

[Ashlyn]

Chapter 14 (view spoiler)[ I knew they were going to end up at the Bed and Breakfast! I can't wait to see how this unfolds! (hide spoiler)]

I love it, and I completely agree with the behind closed doors thing. I feel like we haven't even gotten any kissing yet. (view spoiler)[I love that she keeps taking his hoodie! (hide spoiler)]

And also when Gabby said (view spoiler)[the thing about not naming his penis because she will get attached. I was like WHAT? Haha. (hide spoiler)]

[Cari]

Up to chapter 22

(view spoiler)[ ok I HATE her friends. SOOO MUCH. Chapter 22 was very long - I feel like we could’ve done without a lot of the Neil and Daniel comparison, but I like that Alexis IS seeing it. Im really hoping at the point she leaves the hospital and opens up her own practice or something in Wakan. (hide spoiler)]

[Ashlyn]

Chapter 20 (view spoiler)[I’m so glad Alexis had them buy those pieces for so much. (hide spoiler)]

[Ashlyn]

Through chapter 22 (view spoiler)[That was way too long. Do ER doctors know how to deliver babies that well? I feel like she is acting like their relationship is a high school one. (hide spoiler)]

[Ashlyn]

All I have to say about chapter 25: 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[Ashlyn]

Chapter 33 (view spoiler)[ I feel like the hospital will turn the b&B into a hospital, or Alexis’s Dad will die and that’s how they get back together. (hide spoiler)]

[Ashlyn]

Finished (view spoiler)[ I'm glad Neil is finally figuring out what he was doing and that he isn't happy with his life. I'm glad that she was able to make a hospital for the town. While I really enjoyed the book, I didn't love it as much as I thought I would. Just some parts were a little boring to read, and I hate when chapters are different lengths. (hide spoiler)]
