Just For the Summer by Abby Jimenez
5.0
Oh, Abby Jimenez.
I absolutely loved this story. I ate it up, and couldn’t get enough of our MCs. I loved their banter. The way they found each other was fun, and cute. Maddie was so much fun, i thought she added such a fun aspect to the story. The growth in the characters was astounding. I absolutely was rooting for them from the beginning and loved the way they both grew together and separately.
I listed to the audiobook of this and the narration was absolutely excellent. I have found audios for Abby Jimenez books are my favorite.
While this book has a bright and fun cover - it is so deep and had me tearing up at the end. I was so freaking happy for them. & the epilogue was absolutely perfect for the story.

“ You can still love someone that you’ve decided not to speak to you anymore. You can still wish them well and hope for the best for them. Choosing a life without them doesn’t mean you stop caring about them. It just means that you can’t allow them to harm you anymore. But if you don’t think your life would be better without them in it, than accept that they have cracks. Try to understand how they got them and help fill them with something that isn’t ice. … If you can choose empathy, always choose empathy.”
