A review by bookishwelshie
Part of Your World by Abby Jimenez

2.25

Did anyone else feel like Alexis and Daniel’s romance was rushed in Part Of Your World? It makes for an easy read, fast-paced, romance story but also makes the characters contradict themselves - for example; when Alexis says she is against one-night-stands, yet is SO quick to sleep with a man who is a decade younger than her.
The best part of the story is when it covers coercive control within a relationship, as Alexis is trying to move on from her abusive ex, Neil. Although it could still go deeper on an emotional level. The way her parents’ act about this relationship is awful too, it’s as though they are enabling the abuse and actively encouraging her to stay.
If you’re in the mood for a lust-filled, quick, relationship that turns into love then I recommend you try this one. The age gap is interesting too, Alexis is 38 and Daniel is 28. She is a professional woman; working as an ER Doctor, and Daniel is a country-boy, carpenter.

I appreciate that this has so many highly rated reviews, I think because it’s the definition of an easy, beach-read. I think your enjoyment of the story will be based on how much you feel as though you connect to the main characters. There are some good quotes and the writing flows well.
