5.0

I figured that Part of Your World was my 5⭐️ Abby series…and until the end, I was solidly 4.5 (which is still amazing). Normally, an ending twist like Adrian and Vanessa’s have would knock my score down a bit—It was a super convenient and neatly packaged ending, which usually annoys me. But the buildup and relationships throughout the entire book made it perfection. 

I can’t say enough about this book. The family dynamics and how Vanessa and Adrian navigated their personal emotional baggage, the slow burn and eventual spark that still didn’t overtake the story—it was all so well done. The disability representation and awareness was handled carefully and realistically, especially in today’s day and age. It was all simply perfect and I’m officially sad this series is over, I already miss them!
