Abby Jimenez Books in Order

by Abby Jimenez

Abby Jimenez writes laugh-out-loud contemporary romances with genuine emotional depth, set across two interconnected worlds: the Friend Zone trilogy and the Part of Your World / Yours Truly connected universe.

About the series

Abby Jimenez is an author, pastry chef, and founder of Nadia Cakes, whose viral internet presence helped launch a bestselling romance career. Her books are known for their perfect balance of laugh-out-loud humor and genuine emotional depth, tackling subjects like infertility, grief, and chronic illness without ever losing their warmth. She writes in two interconnected worlds: the Friend Zone trilogy (featuring the Zach/Kristen/Sloane friend group) and the Part of Your World / Yours Truly / Just for the Summer connected universe, all set in Los Angeles and Minneapolis.

Recommended reading order

Both sub-series are written as standalones and can be read in any order, but publication order is recommended to catch character cameos and Easter eggs. Start with The Friend Zone (2019) if you want the funnier, spicier tone, or Part of Your World (2022) if you prefer the slow-burn enemies-to-lovers style. Just for the Summer (2024) and Yours Truly (2023) share a connected cast with Part of Your World and are best read after it. Standalones Say You'll Remember Me (2025) and The Night We Met (2026) stand entirely alone.
