Just for the Summer by Abby Jimenez

  • Flaws of characters a main focus? Yes

4.5

I would recommend this book, but I don't see myself reading it again. It falls into the same category in my brain as an Emily Henry or Ashley Poston book where the characters are dealing with a lot of outside forces and often the side characters are just as important to driving the plot as the main couple. Personally, I love that vibe, but if you're looking for just a straight-to-the-point, easy, breezy, beautiful romance book, that's not what this is. 
The characters deal with a lot of real shit in this book, so definitely make sure you are in the right headspace; the book does start with a trigger warnings list. 
Edit: I keep completely forgetting how fun the premise of this book is! Not that other things  in the story aren't important enough to fill the space, but I wish we had a little more exploration of the almost fake dating premise.
