Sou fã de romances, daqueles com muitos clichés, dos mais diversos tipos de tropes românticos, mas ainda assim, até 80% do livro, era um 4,5 estrelas. Achei que era muita discussão e desencontros que culminariam num final esperado e ponto. A escrita deste livro é mais refinada que o anterior, então achei que meia estrela mais era o justo. Porém, os 20% finais, incluindo a nota da autora, me fez entender porque as amigas gostaram tanto e exaltaram, panfletando incessantemente (amigas, nunca duvidei de vocês). Definitivamente a forma como a autora abordou tanto, foi de me deixar jogada. Apenas leiam (e vejam gatilhos no StoryGraph para assuntos sensíveis).

"This year was going to be my villain origin story"
I love Briana's diabolical pettiness; pouring glitter all over the house of her soon-to-be ex-husband (the ceiling fan!).
"My high road was currently under construction"
Jacob isn't the stereotypical male main character and I love him. I could relate to some of the ways he interacts with the world.
They are both real and vulnerable and the alternating voices made this both of their stories.
Abby Jimenez is a master.

This was so easy to read in a day, because I simply couldn't get enough! The characters were lovable, the conflict was expected but not contrived and annoying. It was funny and had me rooting for the main characters the whole time.

My summary: Briana is an ER physician with her entire life blowing up in her face. Her divorce is just about to be finalized, her brother is in end stage renal failure, and the promotion at work that seemed like a sure thing is now up in the air. Jacob is also an ER physician that has just transferred to the same hospital as Briana. He left his old hospital after his ex started dating his brother and they had all worked together there. Suffering from serious anxiety, Jacob’s transition is even more rocky at best when seven patients die on his first day and the nurses nickname him Dr. Death. Briana and Jacob keep crossing paths, namely in a supply closet they each like to hide in to get away for a few minutes. This leads to Jacob writing her a good old fashioned letter—and their pen pal relationship soon turns into something more.
My thoughts:
I loved this book when I read it almost a year ago. But I *LOVE* this book as an audiobook. I found myself completely swept into it and I kept catching myself smiling like an idiot—and actually laughing out loud while I was listening while working.
Jacob has my heart. He is just so raw and vulnerable, especially in his letters. I can relate to his anxiety a little TOO much though, especially when he spirals a bit. I just love his letters and then his journal. *Swoon* I literally just sat and grinned through most of Jacob’s chapters.
The narrators are Kyla Garcia and Zachary Webber. I really enjoy both of them, even though I had to make a bit of a mental adjustment for how Jacob’s character sounded in my head while reading vs. the narrator’s voice in the audiobook. And I’m not a fan of the male narrators changing their voice to do the female parts. I think I’d prefer to hear Kyla do Briana’s part, even when it’s Jacob’s chapter. But, really, overall I enjoy these two narrators a lot more than I generally enjoy any narrators.
The Part of Your World Series is my hands down favorite of Abby Jimenez’s books. I highly recommend reading or listening to all three of them!

This was very cute. This author writes anxiety and trauma pretty well where it’s relatable and understandable but not so overwhelming that the story can’t have a happy ending.
