Part of Your World is a reverse Cinderella story.  Alexis is royalty, in a way.  She is part of a family that has a big name in the medical community and a 125-year legacy.  Daniel is a carpenter and small town mayor who also runs a bed and breakfast.  Fog, a raccoon, and a bet conspire to bring Alexis and Daniel together.  Sparks fly and they feel an immediate connection.  How can this relationship work when they are literally from two very different worlds?

Characters were well developed.  Most of the characters were lovable.  Some were despicable.  

One of the things I enjoyed the most was that I couldn't predict how it was going to end.  I found the ending to be extremely satisfying.

This book does deal with abusive relationships -  both psychological abuse and physical abuse.  It might be triggering to someone who is going through or has gone through similar situations.

Includes discussion questions for book clubs.

Recommended for people who like to read romances that seem destined to fail before they start and people who like to read books set in a small town.

Okay, I'm very glad I gave Abby Jimenez another chance. I DNF'd The Friend Zone, and I stand by that choice, but this was so much better. I could see almost from the beginning how this story was going to end, and that didn't matter a bit. I normally don't even like insta-love type romances like this, but it worked here. Daniel is my kind of love interest, he was so emotionally mature and considerate. I thought the humor was actually pretty solid and I laughed out loud a few times. I was frustrated with  Alexis, but I understood her. I found a lot more of this story relatable than I expected. The audiobook was really good, I especially liked the male narrator.

I loved the first half of this book SO much. This was my first Abby Jimenez book, and I love her writing. I found myself laughing out loud often even though there was a lot of depth and heavier content in this novel. Daniel is so much like my husband, so I found that incredibly endearing. I expected the domestic violence content going into the book, and I thought it was dealt with in a responsible, sensitive way. However, I was hit sideways by a birth scene that I wasn't expecting, and that really affected my enjoyment of the book. I also found the pacing a little off toward the end, but other than those two aspects, I would've given this 5 stars.

Alexis' world has just been thrown upside down. The cause: Daniel the handsome carpenter who rescued her when she drove into a ditch. 

I loved this book. I adored everything about it. Though it dealt with some heavy subjects, it was so heartwarming and adorable! 

Daniel and Alexis make no sense together. They are from completely opposite worlds, yet they just fit perfectly together. You can't help but root for them. They face insurmountable odds, but they are meant to be. 

Daniel is such a selfless, compassionate, and thoughtful man. He is a carpenter who runs a bnb and is also mayor of Wakan. All he wants to do is to take care of those he loves. He would drop everything to be at Alexi' side. Plus he has a baby goat in PJs ...

Alexis comes from a family of world renowned doctors. It was so frustrating to see her put father's demands above her own needs and wants, but she was probably suffering from PTSD from years of abuse.  I loved seeing her journey to heal from the emotional abuse she suffered as a child and with her ex. Through her relationship with Daniel and being around the people of his town, she learns to heal and finally finds her voice. She goes from a very timid and anxious woman, to one who embraces her worth and power. 

One of my favourite parts of this book was the found family aspect. Blood isn't everything, Alexis' mom and dad certainly proved that. The town of Wakan is like one big family who are there for each other through thick and thin. And Bri was such an incredible friend for Alexis. 

Tropes: age gap, opposites attract, found families.
