In "Part of Your World" by Abby Jimenez, Alexis Montgomery's world turns upside down after a wild bet, a gourmet grilled-cheese sandwich, and a cuddle with a baby goat lead her to Daniel Grant, a ridiculously hot carpenter ten years her junior. Despite their differences, their undeniable chemistry draws them together in the tight-knit town where Daniel lives. But as Alexis grapples with family expectations and career ambitions, she must decide whether to pursue a short-term fling with Daniel or risk everything for a chance at love.

So, small town romances? They're growing on me, and let me tell you, "Part of Your World" knocked it out of the park. I was all in from the get-go, diving headfirst into this charming setting filled with quirky characters and undeniable chemistry.

Now, let's talk about Alexis and Daniel. These two? Absolute gems. Despite their differences, their connection is electric, and I couldn't help but root for them every step of the way. And don't even get me started on Daniel – he's the epitome of the perfect boyfriend, despite Alexis not always treating him as such.

But what really stood out to me was the depth of the family dynamics. Both Alexis and Daniel grapple with toxic parents, adding layers of complexity to their relationship. Abby Jimenez handled these difficult topics with grace and maturity while still keeping the overall tone fun and lighthearted.

From the enchanting small town to the empowering moments of self-discovery, "Part of Your World" had me hooked from start to finish. Alexis's journey towards recognizing her worth left me feeling empowered, and Daniel? Well, let's just say he's the cinnamon roll hero we all deserve.

If you're a fan of small-town romances, reverse age gaps, rom coms, and cute baby animals, then "Part of Your World" is a must-read. It's heartfelt, swoon-worthy, and guaranteed to leave you smiling long after you've turned the last page.
