Yours Truly

Sarahi Alvarez

When she ghosts me, she hants me. I can still feel her all around me only I can't see her or tovch her and I know, without a shado of a doubt, that l can't go the rest of my life like this. This isn't living. Nothing is anything without her... Thic na as hard to read. I put the journal facedown on my

Sara Poole

I would jump in front of a bus for this man. Take a bullet. Fight a mob. I would defend him to the death, kill someone for so much as looking at him wrong.

Alexis said it sounded romcom and to let her know when I got to the Only One Bed scene. 

yes same and especially written into a love letter

Ralie Sutton

That sounds like an excellent time. I also enjoy not answering calls, not networking, never leaving the house, and hanging out with my dog.

Interactions like this one didn't wear me out. They knew me. They didn't take it personally if I slipped into silence and just listened. 

"But remember, you can't spell disappointment without men."

"This quiet, I know all of your quiets. I know when you're alone with me and you're quiet, it's because your brain is still. And when you're in public and you're quiet, it's because your brain is loud. But I don't know this one. What's this one?"

Alyssa Weaver

I liked coming to work now. I looked forward to it 

Men have only ever leit me, Ali," I said quietly. She waited, silent. SO

 My life was a mess. But at least Briana's was the way it should be

But Jacob wasn't like that. He was a hero, but he was the kind that never let anyone know. 

"Everyone's going to be looking at me," I said quietly. "No. They're going to be looking at me. And I'm going to be looking at you. Like this." She put her hands on my chest and peered up at me lovingly

You and me?" he said gently. "We're different. We agree to be harmless to each other."  

"And you want a wife?" "Only if it's you."

[...] my rage would finally burn out, and I’d be left with what was left of me. And that wasn’t much.

How could I be lovable when I wasn’t even likable?

Wouldn’t it be amazing to live like that? 

To not carry that burden around with you. To not feel constantly overwhelmed and overstimulated and second-guess every little thing.

Briana made me nervous, but she didn’t make me uncomfortable. That was a big distinction. For me, nervousness usually got better with time. Uncomfortable didn’t.

“I always think that when we’re quiet, we’re agreeing to be harmless to each other."

Or maybe for him it was exactly what it was supposed to be. Nothing but a platonic arrangement.

okayyy, i'm taking notes on what qualities my future boyfriend would have:

✅ a human form of Dr. Jacob Maddox that is so head-over-heels to me 💋👨‍⚕🙇‍♀️🙇‍♀️

THIS. MAN. RIGHT. THERE. IS. THE. STANDARD. I mean, he knows himself. He knows what he wants. He writes letter (HANDWRITTEN) and he gave her flowers and the red velvet cake from Nadia Cakes special ordered 🥹 I loved how he's so down bad to Brianna and how abby jimenez just made him a perfect man for Bri. 

For brianna, she's so strong on dealing with everything that happened before she even met jacob. I understood how she had formed trust issues when it comes to men and love. 

And for them together, they balanced each other. I loved how they're harmless to each other and leave it at that.

A novel of terrible first impressions, hilarious second chances, and the joy in finding your perfect match from "a true talent" (Emily Henry, #1 New York Times bestselling author).

Dr. Briana Ortiz’s life is seriously flatlining. Her divorce is just about finalized, her brother’s running out of time to find a kidney donor, and that promotion she wants? Oh, that’s probably going to the new man-doctor who’s already registering eighty-friggin’-seven on Briana’s “pain in my ass” scale. But just when all systems are set to hate, Dr. Jacob Maddox completely flips the game . . . by sending Briana a letter.

And it’s a really good letter. Like the kind that proves that Jacob isn’t actually Satan. Worse, he might be this fantastically funny and subversively likeable guy who’s terrible at first impressions. Because suddenly he and Bri are exchanging letters, sharing lunch dates in her “sob closet,” and discussing the merits of freakishly tiny horses. But when Jacob decides to give Briana the best gift imaginable—a kidney for her brother—she wonders just how she can resist this quietly sexy new doctor . . . especially when he calls in a favor she can’t refuse.

Yours Truly felt like a warm, easy-to-read romcom with Abby Jimenez’s signature sweetness… but it didn’t hit me the way Part of Your World did. The premise is great. It has that classic “two people connect in a surprisingly intimate way before real life complicates things” setup, and Jimenez is really good at giving her characters charm, emotional baggage, and enough vulnerability to make you root for them. The relationship has genuinely cute moments, and the story has that cozy, wholesome tone that makes it feel like a comfort read. But for me, it was a 3/5 because the magic didn’t fully land. Parts of it felt a little repetitive in the emotional beats, and I didn’t feel that same addictive pull or spark that makes you stay up too late because you have to know what happens next. It was pleasant, sometimes very sweet, and definitely readable, but I wasn’t obsessed. I’d still recommend it if you like low-stress romance with heart, especially if you’re in the mood for something gentle and feel-good. Just know that if Part of Your World was a full-on “this changed my reading life” moment, Yours Truly (for me) was more like a nice weekend watch: enjoyable, comforting, and easy to move on from. Rating: 3/5. Cute, warm, and heartfelt, but not a standout compared to her best.

Depressing yet heartwarming. I never thought I'd be fallin in love with this book. This book seems to teach us that communication is the key to a healthy relationship. It's not just one person giving and the other always receiving, but both parties must give to each other. And I don't know why I can understand Briana and Jacob so well. They just need to be understood and understand themselves. Stop blaming themselves and start loving themselves.

Briana and Jacob deserve all the good things in this world.

This book has quite a heavy topic, in fact, I'd say it's very heavy, as it contains anxiety, depression, and infidelity. However, Abby manages to package it into a sweet, funny, and heartwarming story. So, for anyone who wants to read this book, I suggest making sure you are in good condition.

Last but not least, fuck you cheaters, especially Nick and Kelly.

Oh! I love the letters things, it's verry sweeeeeeeet. I hope I had one. Xoxo.

4.75. LOVED! I devoured this book in two days. I enjoy a well-done fake dating trope and just a dash of miscommunication, and this fit the bill for both as a more realistic scenario than many others. I found the timeline of the third act to take me out of the magic at times, but Yours Truly was still my favorite Jimenez yet.

This took me a little bit to get into at first, but I LOVED IT. I couldn’t put the book down and love how the main characters are so different yet bring out the best in one another

My favorite of the 3 so far. The banter! Did it all for me. Again Abby Jimenez knocked it out of the park!

jacob and briana pls dont go bald

A little too slow of a slow burn but I liked Briana the most of the woman leads in this series

"...and we’ve spent a lifetime being harmless to each other..."

I love that quote so much! The whole letter was amazing really and the book was even better. They were so harmless to each other😭

This was my third Abby Jimenez book and I just her sweet writing. It was such a deep and beautiful story and I loved the enemies to lovers/fake dating/friends to lovers tropes woven in. The representation of anxiety and overcoming trauma were so well done and it made the story just incredible.

Lloré en los últimos capítulos 😭😭  Por momentos sentí que era algo cliché pero es parte de lo que se espera en este género. 

Jacob es el hombre perfecto: el chicos bueno que viene a sanar las heridas que otros hombre provocaron en Briana. Briana es un poco cabezadura, muy sensible a lo que Jacob vive día a día y amorosa. Me gustó.

✨“You cannot call him that. We don’t need patients hearing nurses whispering about a Dr. Death.” “Can we call him Doctor D?” “No.” “Why?” “Because Doctor D sounds like a penis thing.”

✨The only problem with anger is that it burns hot and fast. It doesn’t tend to burn long. Sadness burns long. Grief. Disappointment.

✨I went back to my side of the ER, running the whole awkward encounter through my head over and over, obsessing about what I should have said or should have done. So stupid.

✨I’d always had a hard time making new friends. I got nervous in unfamiliar social settings, so I would say the wrong thing or become withdrawn, so it took time for people to warm up to me.

✨I will however accept your invitation to be invited and never come. That sounds like an excellent time. I also enjoy not answering calls, not networking, never leaving the house, and hanging out with my dog.

✨I must return to my isolation now. I need twenty to twenty-two hours of alone time a day to function.

✨I’ve barely seen him in the week that he’s been here. He’s sort of freaked out being in the new place and he hides. I only know he’s alive because he does this 3: 00 a.m. zoomy thing where he tears through my house and somehow gets involved with the blinds?

✨It was a small, invisible gesture of friendship from me. Something she’d likely never even fully appreciate because she didn’t know the effort that came with it. She’d just think I watch the same popular show she does and that would be it. This was me making space for her, even though she would never know it. My way of saying thank you for her friendship, even if it was too quiet to hear.

✨It took me a long time to feel comfortable doing a lot of things in front of someone.

✨I relaxed a little. I had to remember that not everyone overthought everything the way I did. Wouldn’t it be amazing to live like that? To not carry that burden around with you. To not feel constantly overwhelmed and overstimulated and second-guess every little thing.

✨“Do you remember teleporting when you were little?”

“My dad was gone by the time I was eight. I never teleported again after that. There wasn’t anyone strong enough to carry me.” I paused for a long moment. “Men have only ever left me, Ali,”

“You never realize you’re living the best time of your life,” I said softly. “It happens and then it ends, and you only see it for what it was after.

✨He had his own private code of ethics. I didn’t have that kind of grace. My high road was currently under construction. But it made me like him so much. And all the stories his family told did too. I wanted to go back in time and hold baby Jacob. Be his friend in high school and tell all his bullies to fuck off. I sort of wanted to tell Jewel to fuck off too…

✨But I didn’t want anyone else in this bed with him either. The idea made me feel sort of panicked. I didn’t want anyone else to get handwritten letters. I didn’t want him to smile at another woman or hang out with them. I felt oddly possessive of him and this little universe we’d built, which was equal parts ridiculous and scary, because how much of our universe was even real?

✨“She’s not a mean person. I don’t think that came out the way she intended.” “Yeah, well, she’d better learn to be a little more intentional when it comes to you, because I’m not going to put up with it. I was two seconds away from taking my hoops out.”

✨It was weird to say, but she made me feel alone—the way I felt when I was by myself. Calm and unaffected. Like it was just us here and not a hundred other people. I liked being alone. With her.

✨you’re with someone who doesn’t speak your language, you’ll spend a lifetime having to translate your soul?

✨I’d leave my comfort zone. I had to. Because that’s where she was. And for her I would go anywhere.

✨She understands you, even when you don’t say anything at all…

✨Jacob made me feel safe. He was like a living lullaby. A softly spoken word. The smell of coffee and toast in the morning or a cozy fleece blanket. The rain pattering on the roof on a day where you don’t have to go anywhere or do anything.

✨“I’m sorry someone made you feel like it’s hard to love you,”

✨It turned into breakfast the next morning and then dinner the following night and then finally after so many sleepovers you just move in with each other because being together is so organic that doing anything else would be ridiculous.

✨Jacob was who he said he was. All the time. And to me, men were never who they said they were. But this one, by all accounts, sort of was. And it scared the absolute shit out of me.

✨I wouldn’t have to continue to be braced for the big letdown when Jacob Maddox showed me his true colors. I could just go, “Ah. There it is.” And then my heart would start making the building blocks again for the wall I liked to keep around it. I think, subconsciously, that was what I was hoping for. I wanted him to disappoint me. I wanted to get past the façade that everyone shows the rest of the world and see who he really was unscripted.

✨Then I picked her up and carried her to bed. And while she was cradled in my arms, she muttered something about teleporting.

✨“Will you still love me when I don’t have any more organs to give?” I asked. “I’d love you even if you were a talking head in a jar,” she said, speaking to my lips. “I’d love you even if you didn’t like dogs.” She gasped. “I’d love you even if I was a gummy bear and you ate me,”

✨Jacob was a man. And men do what men do. I suddenly viewed my sweet, docile boyfriend like a wild animal raised in captivity. Tame and domesticated—but might still bite one day, just because the instinct was bred into his genes.

✨“You are perfect, Jacob. But I am not. You won’t always want me and I’ll always be braced for it. I’ll never relax. I’ll be waiting for the shoe to drop. I’ll never feel secure. I’ll never really trust you. I’ll just push you away and I’ll be miserable and I’ll make you miserable.” “I’m miserable without you,” I said. “That’s what makes me miserable.”

✨“We’re all a little broken, Briana. We are a mosaic. We’re made up of all those we’ve met and all the things we’ve been through. There are parts of us that are colorful and dark and jagged and beautiful. And I love every piece of you. Even the ones you wish didn’t exist.”

✨I didn’t even want to go to sleep because I’d rather be awake and with the woman I love than risk being alone in my dreams…

✨Dearest Briana, I know you’re scared. You have every right to be. But someday, decades from now, when our grandchildren are grown and our hair is gray, and we’ve spent a lifetime being harmless to each other, you’re going to find this letter yellowed and wrinkled, forgotten in a shoebox. You’ll read it and you’ll remember how frightened and unsure you were once. How afraid you were to give yourself to someone, how hard it was to trust again—and you’ll smile. Because I’ll still be there. And we will still be in love.

i thought i needed easy contemporary romance after finishing mistborn back to back, yet i felt more drained than i’ve ever been after reading the most depressing fantasy series. yeah, sure, this is funny, i was laughing most of the time. both briana and jacob were lovable. i had a fun time, and it was a great book so far… until it wasn’t. it was far too long for my liking (for romance), especially with the never-ending misunderstandings. i actually think 200 pages of THAT TROPE was too much, yet here they gave me 400 pages of it. literally every character in this book kept telling both main characters how grossly in love they looked—literally everyone saw it but them—and they very much wanted to eat each other’s faces the whole time WHAT THE FUCK WAS SO HARD TO UNDERSTAND. i was going to give this one 4 stars, but they lost me at over 300 pages they spent not being able to communicate well. it’s not even slow burn and pining anymore, it’s just plain annoying and frustrating. it could’ve been used for a last-minute additional conflict. it was a good subplot tho, it should’ve been the one explored further. i wasn’t so bad that i would give this one or two stars its just wasn’t for me.

maybe i’ll just stick to high school romance 😭😭😭 adult love life is so fucking annoying.

It was perfect. I mean Abby wrote it in a way that it will get solid 5 stars without thinking. She wrote Jacob in the most perfect way. The book was so full of good quotes, I've never put so many of sticky notes as I did in this one! I though I'd wouldn't like any book as I've liked Just for the summer, but this one was way better!

"Love me. Just Love me instead. I'd take care of you. I'd protect you and shield you and be anything you needed. I'd be harmless to you..."

Dear Abby, 

Please keep writing more books like this

Yours

This was good… until it wasn’t. It started regressing around like 70% in and I was just flipping through the pages until I reached the ending. I usually get through miscommunication with a breeze but this really pissed me off like every chapter was a problem atop more problems that could’ve been wrapped up chapters ago. I got sick of it, honestly. There goes the chances of me reading the first book.

ABBY JIMENEZ you have done it once again. I laughed, I cried, laughed again, and then cried again. SO GOOD!

Literatly so so good. It was such an emotional read straight from the first 50 pages. I love Abby Jimenez books because she always manages to make them so emotional twisting. I stayed up a little longer just to finish it. Brianna and Jacob are literatly made for eachother I don't care what anyone says. The way he was a PERFECT kidney match for her brother just says so much. 

Basically, the story follows Jacob and Brianna who are Doctors in a hospital together, where Jacob comes in as a new doctor after leaving his ex who got with his brother... And Brianna just got over her divorce with her ex husband called Nick... Jacob has like a huge anxiety disorder which is so heavily and well portrayed in this entire book. Because it's first person, we see his thoughts in real time, all the questions he asks himself, all of the worrying, questioning, thinking, there's no silence and I was so exhausted to see it happen and it was just really well done because of how real it felt. 

It was very exhausting and annoying to have to get towards the end and we went in a loop about three times, where Brianna was going backwards, spirialing, stressing etc. It was horrible to have to watch and it was so frustrating? But it made sense to write it like this because it's realistic, it fits in with the trauma and it makes sense. I had to knock off half a star though, because of how INFURIATING it was. 

Would totally recommend. Love Abby Jimenez.

Because it's first person, we see his thoughts in real time, all the questions he asks himself, all of the worrying, questioning, thinking, there's no silence and I was so exhausted to see it happen and it was just really well done because of how real it felt. 

It was very exhausting and annoying to have to get towards the end and we went in a loop about three times, where Brianna was going backwards, spirialing, stressing etc. It was horrible to have to watch and it was so frustrating? But it made sense to write it like this because it's realistic, it fits in with the trauma and it makes sense. I had to knock off half a star though, because of how INFURIATING it was. 

Would totally recommend. Love Abby Jimenez.

Loved everything about this book. I’m a bit iffy with romance stories since everything and everyone is always repetitive and too perfect, unrealistic. The way it deals with two different traumas involving love, the anxiety he deals with, and depression of having a life changing medical condition is relatable enough.

 I really enjoyed seeing how both Jacob and Briana were the perfect puzzle piece for each other. Will definitely read more Abby Jimenez in the future.
