How to read the bite-sized tales in order.
Abby Jimenez has quickly become a go-to author for romantic comedies that balance laugh-out-loud banter with serious emotional depth.
Whether she’s tackling infertility, anxiety, grief or family pressure, her books are full of heart and a healthy dose of swoon.
With multiple series, recurring Easter eggs, and even a few novellas sprinkled in, it’s worth knowing the best order to read them. Here’s your guide to reading all of Abby Jimenez’s books, series by series.
How to read The Friend Zone series in order
The series that started it all! Kristen isn’t looking for romance when she meets Josh while planning her best friend’s wedding, but in typical romcom fashion, sparks fly.
There’s just one problem… Kristen is preparing for a medical procedure that will leave her infertile, and Josh’s biggest dream is to have a big family. Can they overcome such a major hurdle?
Each book follows a new couple, but it’s worth reading them in order to catch the sweet (and often hilarious) cameos and callbacks Jimenez sprinkles in.

How to read the Part of Your World series in order
One series down, another begins! Alexis Montgomery has spent her life following the path her prestigious family laid out for her, such as becoming a world-class surgeon and dating all the "right" men.
Then she meets Daniel Grant, a ruggedly charming carpenter who’s 10 years her junior and everything her family disapproves of. Cue an identity crisis... and a major romance.
Again, each book centres on a different couple, but the interconnected universe makes it extra rewarding to read them in order.

When should you read Abby Jimenez's novellas?
Jimenez’s novellas are like bonus content for longtime fans and ideal bite-sized reads for romance lovers. Some are connected to her full-length novels, while others can be enjoyed entirely on their own.
The Situationship (2024)
This novella follows two characters introduced in Just for the Summer, so it’s best read straight after. Life as a travelling nurse doesn’t leave much time for relationships, but Doug might as well be Prince Charming – and Maddy is struggling to resist. They agree on a no-feelings "situationship"… What could possibly go wrong?
Worst Wingman Ever (2024)
Holly doesn’t believe in Valentine’s Day – or romance, really – until a handwritten note left on her car windshield catches her attention. Soon, she’s trading messages with a mysterious admirer. Can their chemistry make the leap from notes to real life? This novella is a standalone, so no prior reading is required!
The Fall Risk (2025)
Two neighbours, one terrible Valentine’s Day, and a funny, feel-good short story. Charlotte and Seth are total opposites – but forced proximity has a way of breaking down walls. Before they know it, defences are falling, and something real might just take root.
