?A Summer Deal with Destiny: Can Love Be Cursed or Cured

: Summary of the Book

Just for the Summer by Abby Jimenez   is a heartwarming, funny, and emotionally layered romance about two people who believe they’re cursed in love—and hatch a wild plan to reverse their fate. Justin is notorious on Reddit for a bizarre pattern: every woman he dates meets her soulmate right after they break up. Emma, a traveling nurse, stumbles upon the same predicament and messages him with an idea that sounds both ridiculous and kind of brilliant: they’ll date each other and break up—hoping their “curses” will cancel out.

What starts as a calculated arrangement quickly turns into something real as their chemistry grows, personal challenges pile up, and emotions get in the way of their pact. Set in a dreamy lakeside cottage in Minnesota, this story will charm you with its wit, slow-burn romance, and vulnerable characters dealing with messy family dynamics and surprising responsibility.

The story cleverly mixes laugh-out-loud moments with deep emotional resonance, making it not just a love story, but also a reflection on healing and second chances.
