Yours Truly

I’m a huge fan and completist of Abby Jimenez’s romance novels, so when I say this is her best yet—it’s no hyperbole. She truly outdid herself with this grounded, funny, and deeply romantic story about two ER doctors who turn from enemies to friends to fake relationship to head-over-heels lovers. One of my favorite parts of the story involves a realistic exchange of letters between Dr. Jacob Maddox and Dr. Briana Ortiz, beginning with an apology note and a cupcake. Jacob struggles with social anxiety, so a letter proves to be the perfect way to break the ice with Briana, no confrontation needed. The notes are funny, heartfelt, and sweet; they’re bright spots in Briana’s stressful days working in the ER and going home to take care of her brother who awaits a kidney transplant. If you’re looking for a charming romance novel with layers of complexity, you can’t go wrong with Jimenez. (Open door.)
