Part of Your World
by Abby Jimenez
I thoroughly enjoyed Part of Your World. The characters are well-developed and highly likeable. The fact that Alexis and Daniel come from vastly different worlds allows for each of these characters to evolve into more well-rounded individuals.
The couple meet when Alexis is driving home from a funeral and runs into a ditch swerving to miss an animal crossing on the road. Daniel tows her out, and later the two meet up again in the bar of the small town where Daniel lives. This small town is charming, full of interesting characters and livestock with celebrity names. The two are instantly drawn to one another and while Alexis doesn’t think the relationship can amount to anything besides a distraction from her everyday life, she soon falls for not only Daniel, but the lifestyle a small town offers.
There are some heavier topics in this book. Daniel was raised by his Grandparents after his mother abandoned him. Unfortunately, this woman is also one who needs constant financial bail outs creating a stressful life for Daniel who wishes to buy the home that has been in his family for many generations. Alexis feels the constant pressure of a lifestyle dictated by her professionally successful father and the family’s long history of providing medical care. Alexis has also recently removed herself from a toxic relationship that effected her well-being. Domestic abuse is discussed in multiple situations in the book. I love how the important messaging in this book shines through while wrapped in the comfort of a romantic blanket.
I enjoyed the push and pull of this relationship as Alexis is torn between her two worlds - her everyday life as an Emergency Physician in the big city and the woman she has become alongside Daniel in his small town. As Alexis works through the conflict of this inner turmoil, her best friend Eri shines some great perspective on the situation. I was delighted to learn that Eri’s story will be shared with readers in 2023.
