This would be a great book club pick. The novel adeptly navigates complex family dynamics, attachment theory, and healthy new love.

I had a lot of fun with this, and this is the first romance I’ve really liked in a while. It’s kinda heavy but in a satisfying way. There was a lot of depth I wasn’t expecting. Justin and Emma are really sweet together.

If you have to chose between anger or empathy, chose empathy.

Just for the Summer is so worth the hype. Long books intimidate me, but it didn’t feel like a 400 page book. It was fun and real. 

I love Justin a lot! And Emma was a good protagonist, too.

Another beautifully written book by Abby Jimenez. The way she has gracefully tackled mental health, grief and other big heavy topics in this series makes me speechless. The characters are lovable and relatable. And this made me cry (I don’t cry when reading often). 

Since I can’t find the words to describe my love for this book, this series and this author, here are five more stars. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
