Part of Your World

I believe that the author did a great job when touching on the two forms of abuse, emotional and physical. I did also like some parts of the romance story, but some were also a little too cheesy for me.

Gorgeous, Sensitive, Relatable. Abby does an amazing job crafting a world where we just want everything to work out, and as the omniscient observer, we want to will the happy ever after into place. She helps us care about ALL of the characters, and even the very life force of a town and random animals in this heart-swelling novel. Each of Abby's novels touches on a sensitive subject, carefully weaving the intricacies of that subject with the story we all become deeply invested in. in Part of Your World, abuse of different varieties is shown, as well as the work and effort to overcome the abuse indoctrination and learn to love yourself while trusting others again. Here, we follow Alexis's journey of healing and growing her own voice and path. Daniel finds his own self worth while discovering his own destiny. Worlds collide in heart-breaking, heart-warming, and belly-laughing ways.

After carpenter Daniel rescues ER doctor Alexis from a mishap with her car, the two end up in bed together. They never expect to see each other again, since they live two hours apart. But the attraction is one they can't forget, and their long-distance affair leads to love. Alexis's life is complicated, and she can't figure out how to fit Daniel into it. Can he convince her to give him a chance at forever? This is a poignant but ultimately triumphant story of recovery from emotional abuse. Daniel is the first person (other than her brother and her best friend) to ever love Alexis unconditionally. She wants to be with Daniel, but can't figure out how to do that without letting down the other people in her life. Her sense of self-worth is so tied to meeting other people's expectations, she doesn't know any other way to be. It's a joyous thing to see her finally break free and learn to live on her own terms. Thanks, NetGalley, for the ARC I received. This is my honest and voluntary review.
