Onto my thoughts:
This slow burn was far too slow for my taste. I was riveted by the characters and their love story at the beginning, but I found that
But let it be known that Jacob is a prince, I would marry the shit out of him and the voice performers were impeccable.

“I always think that when we’re quiet, we’re agreeing to be harmless to each other. That we’re just sharing the same space and letting each other exist exactly as we are, and neither of us would hurt or upset the other one.”
I tend to enjoy Abby Jimenez' writing, and I have been looking forward to this sequel ever since I read Part Of Your World a little over a year ago. There was something about Briana's character that made me want to spend more time with her, and I fully expected this story to be another winner... And I have to say that I enjoyed Yours Truly even more than the first book! This has a lot to do with both Jacob and the epistolary element; I ADORED the letters and messages between the two main characters. The story is told with a dual POV structure, which is a great way to get both sides of the story. I loved Jacob so much more than Briana, and his social anxiety is very well described. Briana could get a bit frustrating at times, and I can't say that I was a big fan of the whole miscommunication trope. Especially when it was SO obvious how the two felt about each other... This was probably the only reason I didn't give Yours Truly the full five stars, because there was just too much unnecessary conflict. I still loved the book in general though, and even the sexy scenes towards the ending couldn't change my feelings. Make sure to have some tissues at hand, because the final part will make it hard to keep it dry! This story has once again shown to me why Abby Jimenez is on my list of favorite romance authors, and I already can't wait for her next book.

I swear I would read Abby Jimenez’s grocery list. I love everything she writes. She has a way of drawing you in and really connecting with her characters. This book was no exception! It gave me all the Grey’s Anatomy vibes 😍I have social anxiety and the way that Jimenez portrayed the MMC’s social anxiety was spot on. She handled it with such care, and for me personally, it was authentic and so relatable. I can tell a lot of thought and research went into it.

I hated the miscommunication trope, though. It always frustrates me. But the resolution was so sweet that it made up for it.
May Ava and Victoria be as best of friends as their mothers.

Abby Jimenez’s Yours Truly is well-paced, modern, relatable, and fully fleshed out - you’ll have no questions and “what ifs” at the end of this. Her author’s note at the end was the perfect bow on top of this heart wrenching and heart warming story, and I cannot wait to read it again later.
