Just For the Summer by Abby Jimenez
5.0
The wait between books feels longer and longer as Abby Jimenez cranks out banger after banger. I know going in that the mix of emotion and humor usually means I'll need a tissue before it's all said and done, and this book is no exception. The drama here is heavy, but several well timed comedic scenes provide levity and a release valve for the tension. Travel nursing has been more talked about since the pandemic, so it was cool to step a toe in that world and learn more about what that experience is like for Emma and Madd
The character development is always so good with this author. Justin and Emma come off the page as real complex people, and their emotional battles strike readers deeper for this reason. The writing makes me feel for them and with them. The trigger warnings are real for this one, so if you have sensitivities I would suggest checking them out before diving in. The mental health representation is handled with care, without stripping it of impact to the story.
I have loved everything of Abby's that I've read, and while I wouldn't rank this as my favorite, it's still an excellent read. I love finding all the little "easter eggs" written into the story from the "Abbyverse" too.
