JUST FOR THE SUMMER

my rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️💫

this book blew me away. This was my first Abby Jimenez book and it will certain not be my last. I fell in love with these characters. Their character arcs were incredible, the symbolism was stunning, and the story had me hooked from the beginning which is not common for me.

I will be recommending this forever & ever thank you very much.

tropes/vibes: found family, “fake” dating, summer fling, golden retriever mmc, family trauma, mental health rep, online meet cute (reddit lol), beautiful symbolism, & cameos/easter eggs from the two other books in this series.
