4.5

The set-up of this book and the synopsis don’t really prepare you for the depth that is here. Emma’s journey in this book is something that isn’t at all relatable to me personally but I can imagine that a lot of neglected children would feel seen. There is so much to unpack and while I did laugh at several moments, this book was deeply moving as well. The whole curse-breaking challenge and banter/flirting between Emma and Justin was so sweet. I loved all of Justin’s efforts and care, even while dealing with his own issues. There are a lot of aspects in this book that would usually bother me from a plot standpoint but it was so well-written and shown in a healthy way, that I found myself liking the story. There were just a couple of aspects of the spice that bug me in books which is why this wasn’t a full 5 star read for me. However, I will also say that the spicy scene in this book was much more emotionally driven than I have seen in her other books and that was a positive.

I actually liked this a lot more than I thought I would! While still being a cute summer romance, the characters had depth and the plot focused a lot on Emma’s childhood trauma. I wish I would have read the other books in this series first because I guess there are some overlapping characters, but it does totally work as a stand-alone. Adding more Abby Jimenez to my TBR!

This is my favorite book in the POYW series so far! I’m fully convinced that she can’t write a bad novel. I just LOVE these characters and their relationships so much!!
