Another author I hadn’t read anything by before and another that has been highly recommended to me.
“Justin’s dating curse, revealed on Reddit, leads women to find their soulmates after breaking up with him. Emma, a travelling nurse with the same issue, proposes they date and break up to cancel their curses. They meet in Minnesota, planning a brief summer fling, but real feelings develop amid personal challenges. Could Fate have truly brought them the perfect match?”
I devoured this in a day.
Just for the summer is the perfect summer read. Abby Jimenez writes in a way that is effortless to read and yet, you are taking in so many deep and complex emotions. With these characters, you can feel it all in the pit of your stomach.
One thing I loved about this kind of dual POV storyline was that you were not just waiting around on their will they or won’t they romance. They had their separate life complications that affected the romantic side but also gave depth to each character’s development. I cried with sadness, with happiness and overall, connected to these characters. 5 Stars.
