Publisher's summary

A sharp and scintillating summer novel that will make listeners laugh out loud and cry happy tears from the New York Times bestselling author of Yours Truly.

Justin has a curse, and thanks to a Reddit thread, it's now all over the internet. Every woman he dates goes on to find their soul mate the second they break up. When a woman slides into his DMs with the same problem, they come up with a plan: They'll date each other and break up. Their curses will cancel each other’s out, and they’ll both go on to find the love of their lives. It’s a bonkers idea… and it just might work.

Emma hadn't planned that her next assignment as a traveling nurse would be in Minnesota, but she and her best friend agree that dating Justin is too good of an opportunity to pass up, especially when they get to rent an adorable cottage on a private island on Lake Minnetonka.

It's supposed to be a quick fling, just for the summer. But when Emma's toxic mother shows up and Justin has to assume guardianship of his three siblings, they're suddenly navigating a lot more than they expected—including catching real feelings for each other. What if this time Fate has actually brought the perfect pair together?

Good but heavy

Well written, like all Abby J. Books. It’s sweet and at times, VERY funny. All of her books have some serious elements but this one is a bit too heavy at times, especially the second half of the book. I’m generally okay with it but the heavy parts of this one were really rough for me and seemed to drag on to the point where I couldn’t enjoy the story. Sometimes AJ goes over and over the same theme and I felt my sympathy for the characters turn to frustration and just way too much “sad”. Just my opinion.

Great Read!

I normally don’t read books like this, but the reviews were great. I am so glad I did. The story was well written and both narrators were outstanding! The book dealt with serious family issues. The ending had an interesting twist, which I never saw coming. Thank you Abby Jimenez, for the story and the research you put into it. Highly recommended. RJS

My new God Tier top contender.

I knew this was going to be a five star read from less than 5% into the story. Emma’s story is just… sadly, so relatable. The Q&A at the end actually had me crying again. Abby Jimenez is my all time favorite author and this book will forever hold a special place in my heart. Also— a thorough round of applause for the narrators of this story. Zachary Webber is one I’ve enjoyed for years and Christine Lakin is phenomenal and I want to experience more from her ASAP.

Sweet Rom Com with Great Storyline

Absolutely loved this book. Reminded me a lot of “It Ends With Us” because of the great character development and themes of trauma and mental health (although not as heavy).

Actors performance was fantastic. All the characters were really well fleshed out and everything was tied up with a nice bow at the end. I haven’t read (listened) to a book this good for a while and am definitely going to be checking out other titles from this author.

Another 5 Star Read!

Loved loved loved! Didn’t think this would top the others but this might be my new favorite. Kept me entertained from start to finish! I live in the Twin Cities so it is always nice to read about all these familiar places and can picture everything so clearly. I always look forward to an Abby Jimenez book and never disappointed.
