Just for the Summer by Abby Jimenez
I had pretty high expectations given all the press about this book. It has a bit more depth than a typical fun summer romance book. It reminded me a bit like "Good luck Chuck" where the main characters' (Emma and Justin) both have a *curse* that they date someone and then after the breakup their ex next date ends up being "the one". They meet each other through a silly encounter (kinda seemed a bit unrealistic but went with it) and end up texting and then FaceTiming. Emma, who is a travel nurse, travels with her best friend and visits him in Minnesota. They try to "cancel" their curse by dating each other - 5 dates - to see if once they breakup they can both find their true love. In time, they begin to actually start falling for each other. Emma comes from a tragic childhood and neglectful mother, and this starts to haunt her. The book does a wonderful job of discussing depression and mental health problems, while at the same time keeping it light and fun to read. Justin has his own issues, becoming the guardian for his three siblings for his mom. While some parts of the book were cheesy, it was a great overall read and I could totally see it becoming a movie or short series.
