Justin finds himself with an unusual curse: every woman he dates finds her soulmate the minute she breaks up with Justin. Emma has the same problem, so Emma and Justin hatch a plan to spend a month together in Minnesota, hoping to break each other's curses. Things go awry when Emma's toxic mother shows up and Justin assumes guardianship of his younger siblings. Yet, it seems Fate may have more in mind than a quick summer fling.

With her ability to hit on deeper issues, Abby Jimenez is quickly becoming one of my favorite romance writers. Although all her books inhabit the same world, each story reads as a standalone with small nods to her other books. I particularly love how Jimenez mixes in mental health and trauma, showing how our pasts can affect our current relationships. With great chemistry and adorable banter, Emma and Justin are super cute together and the fake-dating trope is so well-written, it doesn't feel cliche.
