In Just For the Summer, Emma and Jake attempt to break a curse by dating one another, hopeful that upon their break-up they will meet their soul mate. 

Abby Jimenez brings the humor, emotions, complicated stories, great characters, and the many Easter eggs to her other novels. She delivers a great reading experience. I love her sarcasm and her depth. 

As a reluctant Romance reader, I am finding Jimenez’s work so satisfying. I love that her characters have a beautiful past story and meet people they can be vulnerable and honest with. In this one, complex mothers (and related consequences) play a central role. Trauma, attachment, boundaries, forgiveness, parenting, friendship, and more are key themes. I listened to the audio and loved it - the narration and story. This novel may be my favorite of Jimenez’s and makes her an auto-listen author for me. Highly recommend!
