Just for the Summer

Instant #1 New York Times bestseller and a Good Morning America Book Club Pick!
This witty, slow-burn rom-com is the "ideal beach read." --Elle

Justin has a curse, and thanks to a Reddit thread, it's now all over the internet. Every woman he dates goes on to find their soul mate the second they break up. When a woman slides into his DMs with the same problem, they come up with a plan: They'll date each other and break up. Their curses will cancel each other's out, and they'll both go on to find the love of their lives. It's a bonkers idea... and it just might work.

Emma hadn't planned that her next assignment as a traveling nurse would be in Minnesota, but she and her best friend agree that dating Justin is too good of an opportunity to pass up, especially when they get to rent an adorable cottage on a private island on Lake Minnetonka.

It's supposed to be a quick fling, just for the summer. But when Emma's toxic mother shows up and Justin has to assume guardianship of his three siblings, they're suddenly navigating a lot more than they expected--including catching real feelings for each other. What if this time Fate has actually brought the perfect pair together?

I absolutely LOVED this book! 😍 From the very first page, I was hooked. The storyline was gripping, the characters were so well-developed, and the pacing was spot on. I couldn’t put it down! 📚🔥 Every chapter kept me on my toes, and just when I thought I had it figured out—boom!—another twist! 🤯 The ending was satisfying, but also left me wanting MORE! 🙌 I seriously wish there was a second book because I’m not ready to say goodbye to these characters and this world. 😩 I’m still thinking about it days later! If the author decides to write a sequel, I will be the first in line to read it. 📖✨ If you’re looking for a book that’ll keep you glued to the pages and leave you craving more, THIS is the one! Highly recommend! 🌟

Bounced between 3 and 4 stars because I hate the modern miscommunication trope. But characters were well-flushed out, flawed, and lovable, so we land on four stars. Good summer read.
