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?

Nice and breezy- a good read if you want something light that doesn’t require too much effort. I was unaware there are other books written before this one that are slightly related within the same character universe.

Abby Jimenez does such a great job with character development. I cannot wait to read more of her books!

I wanted a GOOD rom-com and this hit the spot. Both Emma and Justin’s characters were very complex. Their “relationship curse” brought them together and their humor made the sparks fly. It’s very witty with lots of family drama, the baggage is deep and it almost overshoots the story of Justin and Emma, but it actually brings them together and helps them grow. Book #34 in 2024

I’ve never read her books. Really glad i didn’t know these are recurring characters. The book has a peppy running commentary and invites readers who have gone through these things to reframe.
