In this episode of Literature on the Rocks…
we’re diving into Yours Truly by Abby Jimenez—a romance that blends heart, humor, and the very real struggles of living with anxiety. From the swoony love story to the deeper conversations about what makes a healthy relationship, this book gave us plenty to sip and chat about.
We explore how anxiety impacts love and communication, why passing journals with children might just be the sweetest tradition ever, and how finding someone who truly fits can change everything. Abby Jimenez crafts a story that’s as tender as it is witty, making it the perfect read to remind us that the right love feels like home, not hard work.
Of course, no episode would be complete without a cocktail pairing. For this one, we created a romantic, floral sip inspired by the softness and sweetness of the story.
