Description
Summary: 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 Ortizâs life is seriously flatlining. Her divorce is just about finalized, her brotherâs running out of time to find a kidney donor, and that promotion she wants? Oh, thatâs probably going to the new man-doctor whoâs already registering eighty-frigginâ-seven on Brianaâs âpain in my assâ scale. But just when all systems are set to hate, Dr. Jacob Maddox completely flips the game . . . by sending Briana a letter. And itâs a really good letter. Like the kind that proves that Jacob isnât actually Satan. Worse, he might be this fantastically funny and subversively likeable guy whoâs terrible at first impressions. Because suddenly he and Bri are exchanging letters, sharing lunch dates in her âsob closet,â and discussing the merits of freakishly tiny horses. But when Jacob decides to give Briana the best gift imaginableâa kidney for her brotherâshe wonders just how she can resist this quietly sexy new doctor . . . especially when he calls in a favor she canât refuse.âAbby Jimenezâs wordsâŚsprinkle humor and warmth all over my life.â âAli Hazelwood, New York Times bestselling author of The Love Hypothesis NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLING AUTHOR: Part of Your World (4/22) was a Book of the Month Club pick and hit #10 on the New York Times paperback list and #13 for combined print and ebook.
