Author Spotlight: Which Abby Jimenez Book Should I Read First?
Updated: Aug 1, 2023
Over the last few years, Abby Jimenez has become one of my favorite authors. She has written two series, The Friend Zone and Part of Your World. I devoured all three novels of The Friend Zone series in less than a week. When I found out that Part of Your World was coming out, I preordered it and read it the day I got it. These novels have become my go-to recommendation for romance readers for many reasons, but my favorite one being that they are all apart of the same world. The Part of Your World Series has references to The Friend Zone Series! So which Abby Jimenez book should you read first? Start with The Friend Zone Series!
Here are all of her books and a short summary:
The Friend Zone Series

Josh wants a big family one day and Kristen knows she can’t give him what he deserves, so she constantly tries to push him away. Josh, however, doesn’t seem to be so easily moved.
