A review by booklistqueen
Yours Truly by Abby Jimenez

emotional funny hopeful lighthearted fast-paced

4.0

With her divorce about to be finalized, Dr. Brianna Ortiz's life seems to have been sidetracked. Not only is her brother running out of time for a kidney transplant but also the new annoying doctor, Jacob Maddox, is likely going to steal her promotion. But after Jacob sends her a letter, she finds he is quite the opposite of what she thought. When he volunteers to be a kidney donor for her brother, she finds she can't resist him, especially when he calls in a favor she can't refuse.

Abby Jimenez's charmingly funny romance weaves together a ton of romance tropes: mental health and trauma from past relationships, coworkers fake dating, a little pen pal action, surprise pregnancy, and a whole lot of miscommunication. Technically a sequel to Part of Your World, you don't have to have read the first book (I didn't)  since the main character is just a side character, and vice versa. If you enjoy romance books, you'll likely love Yours Truly, though it is steamy in only a few spots. I really enjoyed the novel until about the 90% mark, and then the miscommunication trope got old, as it generally does for me.
