Amy 
romance
Justin claims to be a “good luck charm”—every time he and a woman split up, the very next guy she meets turns out to be her forever partner. It stinks for him and he explains this in a viral public post which Emma sees. She writes to him because she’s also that sort of good luck charm. They decide that, if they date each other Just for the Summer, then their curses will be broken and they’ll each move on to their forever partners after they break up.
Of course, they turn out to be a perfect match because they are the stars of this romance novel! Their courtship is adorable and very fun. Unfortunately, they both have serious problems with their mothers which have affected their lives in negative ways. And, sadly, I had real trouble swallowing the situations with the mothers. It felt forced and unrealistic.
BUT THEN about 80% of the way through the novel, I couldn’t put the book down! This one started out barely qualifying as a sequel in the Part of Your World series but ended up circling back to the series in the best way! It was a pleasant surprise and a juicy one too. And I do feel that Abby Jimenez did a good job addressing mental health issues. So, in the end, while this is my least favorite of the three Jimenez novels I’ve read, I did enjoy it and will certainly read more of her novels.
