Just For The Summer

Justin has a peculiar curse, and thanks to a viral Reddit thread, it's now known far and wide. Every woman he dates goes on to find her true soulmate immediately after they break up. When a woman named Emma, who seemingly has the same problem, slides into his DMs, they come up with a wild plan: They’ll date each other and then break up. The idea is that their respective curses will cancel out, allowing each to find their one true love. It’s a zany concept... but it might just work.

Emma hadn't anticipated that her next assignment as a travelling nurse would lead her to Minnesota. However, she and her best friend agree that dating Justin is too intriguing an opportunity to miss, particularly when they get to rent an enchanting cottage on a private island in Lake Minnetonka. It’s supposed to be a casual, no-strings attached fling, perfect for the summer.

But life has other plans. When Emma's toxic mother unexpectedly arrives and Justin suddenly has to take on guardianship of his three siblings, their summer plans grow exponentially more complicated. Amidst the chaos, Emma and Justin begin to develop genuine feelings for one another. What if Fate, rather than binding them with curses, has actually brought the perfect pair together?

Abby Jimenez delivers a sharp and scintillating summer novel with Just For the Summer, a heartwarming and hilarious tale that will make readers laugh out loud and shed joyful tears. From the New York Times bestselling author of Yours Truly, this story is a testament to the unexpected twists that can lead to true love.
