My 2nd Abby Jimenez read, I did love Part of Your World more than this one somehow, even though I think the MC in this book was more likeable. I did appreciate and love the kidney donation storyline, I worked in this field and it underrepresented in the media. I liked the way anxiety was portrayed in the male MC. Very relatable and well thought out as someone who has dealt with this. Beautiful ending,  I teared up for sure! My only critique of the storyline was Brianna’s mental health decline in the last few chapters felt abrupt to me… like all her past struggles were alluded to, yet somehow it felt jarring, like she should’ve had more signs and symptoms of the trauma of her relationships throughout the book… which there were moments, but something still felt off about how it went from zero to 60. Otherwise, LOVED!! Love her as an author.
