Part of Your World
by Jimenez, Abby
Alexis Montgomery is a high-achieving doctor from a family of medical royalty, living a life that feels like a costume she has outgrown. When she gets stuck in a ditch in a tiny, remote town, she meets Daniel, a carpenter who is everything her world is not. Their connection is immediate but complicated by the sheer distance between their realities and the crushing expectations weighing on Alexis. This is a story about the ache of choosing yourself when everyone else expects you to stay small. It manages to be both deeply bittersweet and genuinely funny, balancing heavy family drama with a romance that feels earned rather than inevitable. If you enjoy stories where the protagonists have to dismantle their own lives to figure out who they actually want to be, this is for you.
