The story was a beautiful one of love at first run in, though. I wish Lt. Dan were real because I want to just hug him.

I knocked off .25 for just a couple reasons. The first is that there is some contemporary language & concepts usage that is already not aging well. They're not offensive phrases or anything, but they're going to be considered cringey or dated after they stop being popular in a couple years. (Ex., using "epic" in drama talk)

And then, I'm also a bit mad that his ex-girlfriend and the younger brother
I don't factor audiobook performance into my star reviews, but I give both Kyla Garcia and Zachary Webber 5/5 easily. They are unique, not annoying, and did plenty of inflection without overdoing it.

The content warnings are given at the beginning of the book, actually. General things to know are: a main character has anxiety, both main characters work at a medical facility and have come out of toxic relationships.bluebelle_reads's review

Let's dive right in—Bri and Jacob? They redefine relationship goals. The evolution from antagonists to allies to lovers is crafted with such genuine care and emotional depth, it's impossible not to get swept up. Bri's fierce support for Jacob's battle with anxiety and his heartfelt attempts to stand by her side paint a powerful picture of what true partnership looks like. And can we talk about that letter? Total game-changer. It proves Jacob isn't the villain Bri first thought, but a hero in his own quiet way.
The crux of the plot might hinge on a classic misunderstanding, a trope that can feel overplayed, but here it serves as a launch pad for deeper emotional exploration. Abby Jimenez doesn't just write romance; she writes about real people grappling with real issues—infidelity, chronic health struggles, and the messiness of human relationships.
What truly sets this novel apart is its ability to blend sizzling banter and undeniable chemistry with profoundly impactful themes. From their disastrous first encounters to the complexities of navigating a relationship built on a foundation of missteps, Bri and Jacob's journey is a testament to the messy, beautiful chaos of falling in love.
Reading 'Yours Truly' is like watching a masterclass in character development. The narrative is packed with moments that are as heartwrenching as they are heartwarming, making it more than just a love story—it's a life story.
In summary, 'Yours Truly' delivers a compelling mix of humor, heartache, and healing. If you're a fan of stories that pair romance with real-world stakes, prepare to be delighted and moved by Bri and Jacob's unforgettable love story. It's a heartfelt, beautifully written saga.
