Just for the Summer

De: Abby Jimenez

Narrado por: Christine Lakin, Zachary Webber, Abby Jimenez

A sharp and scintillating summer novel that will make listeners laugh out loud and cry happy tears from the New York Times bestselling author of Yours Truly.

Justin has a curse, and thanks to a Reddit thread, it's now all over the internet. Every woman he dates goes on to find their soul mate the second they break up. When a woman slides into his DMs with the same problem, they come up with a plan: They'll date each other and break up. Their curses will cancel each other’s out, and they’ll both go on to find the love of their lives. It’s a bonkers idea… and it just might work.

Emma hadn't planned that her next assignment as a traveling nurse would be in Minnesota, but she and her best friend agree that dating Justin is too good of an opportunity to pass up, especially when they get to rent an adorable cottage on a private island on Lake Minnetonka.

It's supposed to be a quick fling, just for the summer. But when Emma's toxic mother shows up and Justin has to assume guardianship of his three siblings, they're suddenly navigating a lot more than they expected—including catching real feelings for each other. What if this time Fate has actually brought the perfect pair together?

So beautifully written

Can’t wait to read more from this author Abby Jimenez. Loved this story, the love story, the friend story, and the family parts of the story. Heavy but so real, cried and laughed out loud.

Hilarious, heartbreaking, & beautiful

Abby doesn’t miss! As someone who grew up with a mother who battled mental health issues that manifested in neglect and abusive behavior, I deeply related to Emma. It was both triggering and healing. Justin was an absolute angel and saint and Maddy was the protective best friend every girl deserves. These characters were compelling, complex, and entertaining as hell. I loved every second of it! The narrators were also top tier! Petition for Zachary Webber to narrate every romantic MMC.

A great love story

Really enjoyed reading this the past two days. Very sweet and realistic (in my experience and opinion). A good classic romance novel

Full Circle

I waited patiently for months for this book to come out and it did not disappoint. I screamed on multiple account. I had “Ahhhaa” moments throughout. Pieces were being put together. I have read all books at least 3 times with Yours Truly behind my favorite but this one is just perfection. I wouldn’t change anything.

My new favorite!!!

Abby unfolds this beautiful story of friendship, family, trauma, healing, and of course, love, in such a thoughtful and vulnerable way. I found myself laughing out loud on many occasions and grabbing for tissues at others. I loved the unique storyline and appreciated the more realistic timeline of events.

I’ve always enjoyed Abby Jimenez books in an indulgent sort of way, but this one really felt like a level-up moment for her. I LOVED the character development, the banter, and emotional depth of this book, and the fact that the nuances that directed the storyline weren’t predictable.

Definitely worth a credit because I’ll positively be giving this one a re-read.

Hits it Out of the Park!

I love how Abby Jimenez both gives us a wonderful I love story and deals with mental health in an educated honest way. I stayed up all night listening to this and will probably reread all her books now.

Amazing

Abby does it again! A beautifully rich and vibrant story—complex, hilarious, and so charming. Amazingly realistic character development. Draws you in and holds you captive until the very end.

Loving Abby Jimenez right now

I have now read 6-7 books by Abby Jimenez in the last year—she’s quickly become one of my favorites. I appreciate how she weaves real topics (mental health) into her novels and shows us the brokenness and pain (abandonment, loss of a parent) of her characters alongside the joy and desire to love/be loved. Her stories feel more relatable to me in that sense. Keep them coming :)

Justin and Emma 🫶🏽🫶🏽🫶🏽🫶🏽

This book had me on a roller coaster! One second I was laughing the next I was crying. I adored the is story Abby Jimenez has a way of writing that just touches my soul. She literally has me feeling broken then she stitches it wrote back up. Justin was such love able character. I loved his relationships with siblings and his friends. I just wanted to reach into this book and hug Emma so tight. I loved her!! I don’t want to give to much an away but just download it you won’t regret it.Also, the narration was A++! Again, I reiterate download this book you are doing yourself a disservice if you don’t read this book! And as always check TWs before reading! ♾️/⭐️’s

All the feels!

The narrators brought this book to life and made you feel their journey to a HEA.

Abby has a way of making you laugh one chapter and grab a Kleenex the next. I love this genre of books but she takes them to a next level. Being from a neighboring state of MN, I love the references to places that I have been to and it makes these books even more special.

The topics she addresses can be triggering for some because they are parallel to real life struggles but their stories and journeys beautiful. Can’t recommend enough.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️……

Also her cupcakes are amazing!!!😎
