Just for the Summer by Abby Jimenez
4.0

Of course, I would start a series with the third book and never the first. Either way, I enjoyed the book, and I cannot wait to go back and read the others now.

As much as I love both of the characters, Justin is by far my favorite. While I understand why she couldn't, I just kept wishing Emma would finally open herself up, let her walls down a bit, and fully let Justin in. And while she technically did, I wish it had been sooner and not way later in the book, though I'm glad she was able to finally find happiness and finally put up boundaries against her mom.

I wish we had more moments with her newly-found family. I would have loved to see her interact with them a bit more. 

P.S. Fuck Emma's mom, like seriously.
