Eu fui pega pelo hype das amigas, que amam essa autora. A curiosidade me levou a um livro gostoso, que prendem a atenção e nos fazem devorar rapidamente. Um livro que aborda assuntos bem intensos, tensos, reais, com responsabilidade. Também há momentos de gargalhadas, de coração quentinho e pura magia. As referências inseridas nas cenas, são ótimas e adorei a entrevista no final! Eu achei que no começo a escrita faltava algo, mas ao chegar no final - que sim, é meio de novela - já tinha me arrebatado. Vou daqui direto para o próximo sem nem pestanejar (e que as amigas dizem ser o motivo real do hype kkk).

I enjoyed this book. It is an easy quick beach level read but not one that will stick with me.

Abby Jimenez has a gift. she has a way with words. she made a romance that had so many more layers than just physical attraction, and I applaud her for that. Can’t wait to read more by her!

Listened to this audiobook in just about 48 hours! A simple but sweet Minnesota romance - something I didn’t know existed and didn’t know I needed.

My Abby Jimenez journey started out of order with Just for the Summer, so I knew I wanted to backtrack and begin with Part of Your World.

I loved Alexis' and Daniel's story -- how they met, the small-town magic of Wakan (both literally and figuratively), their age gap and lifestyle differences, Alexis' Montgomery family legacy, but most of all how down bad Daniel was for Alexis.

It's been awhile since a book has made me tear up, but POTW broke that streak with the last few chapters:
  • "Love follows you. It goes where you go. It doesn't know about social divides or distance or common sense. It doesn't even stop when the person you love dies. It does what it wants."
  • "All we had was our love for each other. That's all we had. None of the other parts worked or fit or made sense. But I didn't need it to make sense, because for me the love was everything, it was all I needed."
  • "I love Daniel more than I've ever loved anyone, but it doesn't make the rest of it disappear." "It's not supposed to make it disappear. It just prioritizes things." (Side note: we all need a BFF like Bri.)
  • "I realized when you hit zero fucks, that's when negotiations begin."

I could FEEL Alexis' and Daniel's first phone call after
they broke up -- the raw emotion, the yearning, the pain.
The ballroom scene at the fundraising event was also perfect.

It was fun getting the backstory of the characters who appeared in JFTS and I'll be reading Yours Truly next.
