 "The best kind of love doesn’t happen on moonlit walks and romantic vacations. It happens in between the folds of everyday life. "
― Abby Jimenez, Just for the Summer

New favorite romance author unlocked!
This book was a complete surprise. A rom-com that was elevated by the unpleasant moments of real life. I was enamored with the feel-good, heartfelt moments, the funny relatable moments and the tearful moments.

**bonus quote**
It isn’t glamorous, it isn’t all butterflies and stars in your eyes. It’s real. This is the kind of love that forever is made of. Because if it’s this good when life is draining and mundane and hard, think of how wonderful it will be when the love songs are playing and the moon is out.”
― Abby Jimenez, Just for the Summer

Abby does it again. I love her books so much. The characters and themes are incredibly relatable. You can see the research and time Abby puts into the themes making sure she represents them in a mindful manor. Abby is an auto buy author for me. Bonus she  writes books set in my home state :)
