ABOUT THE BOOK
\ nJust for the Summer
\nJustin 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 wo man 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& rsquo\;s out\, and they&rsquo\;ll both go on to find the love of their liv es. It&rsquo\;s a bonkers idea&hellip\; and it just might work.
\nEm ma hadn't planned that her next assignment as a traveling nurse would be i n 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 ad orable cottage on a private island on Lake Minnetonka.
\nIt's suppos ed 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\, th ey're suddenly navigating a lot more than they expected--including catchin g real feelings for each other. What if this time Fate has actually brough t the perfect pair together?
