I am absolutely in LOVE with this book! I haven’t read any of Abby Jimenez books before but it is safe to say I am not going to read more of her works. U thought this book would be a lighthearted simple Rom-Com, but boy was I wrong. While it dose have the classic Rom-Com tropes it also dives into dis functional family’s,  trauma, child neglect and other heavy topics. This book is the best romance I’ve ever read and the ending had me sobbing in a good way because I was so overcome with emotions. I would recommend this book to anyone, even those who don’t typically read romance. Just for the Summer has altered my brain chemistry in a way where I will never be able to view a classic romance the same way ever again.
