One of the best books I’ve read all year, had me laughing and crying. I thought it was going to be very cheesy with how it starts, but I really enjoyed the story line and the characters are lovable and relatable.

I'd say that Abby Jimenez should pay for my therapy after this, but this was my therapy ❤️

I adored everything about "Just for the Summer." Listening to this on audio was such a great experience. I really mean it when I say I both laughed out loud and sobbed cathartic tears. The performances from Christine Lakin and Zachary Webber were outstanding.

I really enjoyed Part of Your World, which is why I picked this one up from Book of the Month. Wow! This was great! I absolutely loved the chemistry between Justin and Emma, their conversations do such a good job of showing how compatible they are as people. It was so fun to see the connections and Easter eggs from Part of Your World, I'm sure I missed some from Yours Truly and I'll have to read that one as well. There are definitely some darker topics covered in this story, so I recommend checking the content warnings, but if you're a contemporary romance reader I think you'd probably enjoy this!

As a Minnesota girl reading this during a true Minnesota summer I was obsessed. Abby Jimenez is a Champlin icon and this book perfectly encapsulates the essence of a summer at the lake. I also loved how she focused on trauma and anxiety as a barrier to this relationship because it made it so real and personal. Finished it in two day!
