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.

⤖ My Review ⬻

For some reason, I anticipated Yours Truly less than all of Abby Jimenez’s books—including The Friend Zone, Life’s Too Short, Part of Your World. I’m not sure why… Especially since it turned out to be my favourite Jimenez book so far!

My favourite part was definitely the two main characters, Briana and Jacob—they were both really likeable, and I sympathized with them both. I felt intense anger whenever other characters wronged them, and just wished them both happiness.

The chemistry between Jacob and Briana was something else! The romance was enjoyable and I found the plot of Yours Truly as a whole to be really engaging. The banter between Jacob and Briana, as well as with the side characters, was really enjoyable for me as well.

Overall, Yours Truly left me with a warm heart and a smile on my face. It made me feel a range of emotions and kept me engaged until the very end. Highly recommending this book to those looking for a heartbreaking and heartwarming contemporary romance!
