2. Chronological Order
A strict internal chronology is not the main selling point of Abby Jimenez’s catalog, but a practical connected-world order exists for readers who want the newer universe grouped together.

- Life’s Too Short
- All Roads Lead to Here (optional)
- Part of Your World
- Yours Truly

Related Works and Where They Fit
- All Roads Lead to Here belongs with Part of Your World as an optional prequel-style short piece. It is not required before book one.
- Worst Wingman Ever and The Fall Risk belong together as the Valentine’s Day pair. They are adjacent companion reads rather than required stops in the main novel line.
- Abby Jimenez’s official homepage shows a Short stories area in addition to the six main novels listed on the My Books menu. That makes the shorter works better suited to related works than to the core starter path.
- Goodreads also shows a third Say You’ll Remember Me listing, Feels Like Falling, but it is not currently visible on the official author site pages surfaced here. For a conservative order page, it is safer to leave it out of the master list until the author bibliography or a dedicated official book page confirms it.
Dependencies & Notes
- The Friend Zone trilogy should be read in numbered order.
- Part of Your World, Yours Truly, and Just for the Summer work best in sequence because they form a linked contemporary-romance world. The Goodreads series page describes that set as loosely connected standalones centered on Royaume Northwestern Hospital in Minnesota.
- All Roads Lead to Here is optional unless you want the added short-fiction context attached to the Part of Your World grouping.
- Worst Wingman Ever and The Fall Risk can be read on their own.
- Say You’ll Remember Me currently serves as the newest main jumping-on point.
- The Night We Met comes after Say You’ll Remember Me and is already present in the author’s 2026 event calendar.
