Another great book by Abby Jimenez. I wish the end/epilogue was longer so we'll see more of the happy ending for them and the rest of characters of this series. 

P. S. : Why is there so much mention of Starbucks?

Closed Door Mod: Chapter 35 (some parts) 

I’ll admit that I was hesitant to read this book. Not because I don’t Jimenez’s previous works. On the contrary; I absolutely loved Part of Your World and Yours, Truly when I listened to them on audio. My main issue was that I read a book that had a similar plot to this one and I did not like it all. While I didn’t want to be let down, the growing popularity and nationwide attention Just for the Summer is receiving made me to give this book a shot. And I’m glad I did. 

Full of Jimenez’s signature wit and heart, Just for the Summer is an emotional rom-com following two people falling in love over the course of the summer. Both with their own baggage and past traumas, Jimenez writes of making peace with the past and how to move past the hurt. 

I felt so many different emotions over the course of this book. Justin and Emma were both well-crafted characters with their own moments to shine outside of their relationship. I could relate to Emma’s past struggles with mental illness and the situation with Justin’s family broke my heart. But don’t worry, Jimenez gives us that HEA and you’ll keep rooting for them till the very end of the book. 

With a writing style that transports you directly to where the characters are, I cannot recommend any more that you need to read this book. If you’re looking for a new summer read or are looking for a friends-to-lovers with found family and positive mental health rep, keep your eye out for this book.
