Abby Jimenez is a Food Network winner, #1 New York Times best selling author of Just for the Summer, and recipient of the 2022 Minnesota Book Award for her novel Life's Too Short. Her book Yours Truly was the first romance novel in the history of Book of the Month to win the coveted Dolly Award for Book of the Year. Abby founded Nadia Cakes out of her home kitchen back in 2007. The bakery has since gone on to win numerous Food Network competitions and, like her books, has amassed an international following.

Abby loves a good romance, coffee, doglets, and not leaving the house.

Thank you!

Thank you for four weeks on the bestseller lists for The Night We Met!

Just a reminder that on April 28th there's a Target Exclusive reprint of The Friend Zone series hitting the shelves. New covers, black and white interior artwork, and they're all the same height lol. And to answer the question on everyone's mind, yes, the Target sticker is removable.

Quotes by Abby Jimenez  (?)
Quotes are added by the Goodreads community and are not verified by Goodreads. (Learn more)

“The love stories sold us the wrong thing. The best kind of love doesn’t happen on moonlit walks and romantic vacations. It happens in between the folds of everyday life. It’s not grand gestures that show how you feel, it’s all the little secret things you do to make her life better that you never tell her about. Taking the end piece of the bread at breakfast so she can have the last middle piece for her sandwich when you pack her lunch. Making sure her car always has gas so she never has to stop at the pump. Telling her you’re not cold and to take your jacket when you are in fact, very, very cold. It’s watching TV on a rainy Sunday while you’re doing laundry and turning her light off when she’s fallen asleep reading. Sharing pizza crusts and laughing about something the kids did and taking care of each other when you’re sick. It isn’t glamorous, it isn’t all butterflies and stars in your eyes. It’s real. This is the kind of love that forever is made of. Because if it’s this good when life is draining and mundane and hard, think of how wonderful it will be when the love songs are playing and the moon is out.”
Abby Jimenez, Just for the Summer

“Grace costs you nothing”
Abby Jimenez, Part of Your World

“In a world where you can choose anger or empathy, always choose empathy,”
Abby Jimenez, Just for the Summer
