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?

Another phenomenal story

6/5 stars. Abby is such an amazing writer and I LOVED all the Easter eggs from Part of your World & Yours Truly. If you haven’t read those, go read them before reading this one! I love when series interconnect. Thank you Abby for another amazing listen.

Five stars

This book is amazing. I laughed out loud and I cried. Just know there is an HEA. The narration is the best I’ve ever listened to. It’s an amazing performance. Now, I’m going to look for more by this author. Enjoy!

Great read

A great summer beach read or really anytime read if you like romantic comedies. I love the character development and the real life complexity of the character's lives.

Enjoy

I enjoyed this book. It covered PTSD in a somewhat real format. It was different, and I appreciated Abby taking on this difficult subject.

It made me cry in the best way.

This book packs an emotional wallop. Be prepared for the difficult themes that she tackles in this book, she has a list of trigger warnings in the beginning. Speaking for myself though, this book was so very worth it. Finely crafted story with some of my favorite romantic tropes: found family, forced proximity and the male main character as a strong, masculine love interest who is also a responsible adult who takes care of those around him. It was funny, and tender, poignant and sexy. In short, it is one of my favorite books this year.
The narration was excellent. Audiobook narrators can sometimes enhance the experience or take away from the story. I was happy to find out that, for me anyway, it was the former rather than the latter.
Thank you Abby for writing this. It brought me joy.
