just finished vs currently reading 📚

So many of you on here have recommended Abby Jimenez books to me and I finally got around to reading Just for the Summer because it became available on Kindle Unlimited. WOW! I loved it! It was so good! It was funny and deep in a way I wasn’t expecting. Her writing style is so easy to read, it just flows. All that to say I’m a fan and I totally see the hype! I’m now reading another book in that series. So excited about it. I have no idea what it’s about. I love blind reading books.

Do you guys like Abby Jimenez books?

What are some of your faves from her?
