This is the first book I've read by Abby Jimenez and I see why she has such a following.  I loved the characters and story from the beginning.  There is humor yet there are many serious topics included in this storyline.  The author did a beautiful job weaving the darker topics into the friendship and romantic elements.  I really enjoyed the direct honesty between Emma and Justin. At times, Emma's steadfast allegiance to her mother really got to me, but, the author made it right.  I will definitely put Abby Jimenez's other books on my list to read.

A funny enjoyable Romcom with a hint of The Glass Castle that also feels like a really good therapy session!
I don't toss out 5 stars easily, but this one earned it!
 What happens when 2 people with the same apparent curse, to be 'the one before The One' date each other? 

I knew when I finished this book I'd be missing these characters like long time friends.  It will definitely be a re-read!

Abby has a special way telling stories that cover heavy subjects while being funny and healing to both the characters and reader.  
Every one of her books has made me laugh out loud,  swoony grin and cry real tears - Every.  Single. One. 
If you've read Abby's other books,  the easter egg game in this one is so good!

Am I the asshole?
 Why did NOT ONE Bookstaperson tell me to read Abby Jiminez's books?
 Totally kidding, of course. 
 Where have I been?? Just For The Summer has been a frequent feature in these parts. And now I wholly understand why!
 "Sometimes your traumas are the reason you know how to help."
 Just For The Summer is the story of Emma and Justin - they connect through a Reddit post, then hit it off immediately IRL. But as happens, each comes with hefty emotional baggage and looming responsibilities. 
 The sweet rom-com slant of the book brings us forehead kisses, head lice, the Toilet King, rainbow unicorn floaties, and date surveys.
 But the grittier side depicts heartbreaking attachment issues from years of trauma and neglect. 
 Amidst this, we meet friends who become family, and relationships that meet where the other person is.
 Have I already ordered Part Of Your World and Yours Truly? I sure have.
 Very much recommended!
