A sharp and scintillating summer novel that will make readers 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?

I just recently got into reading while my baby was in the NICU. This was my second book by Abby. I love the way she writes! She may have turned me into a reader! Highly recommend.

ANOTHER amazing rom-com!
Abby hits it out of the park with every book! Characters are easily relatable and SO entertaining. How does she come up with it?! A traveling Nurse and a MN guy wondering "AITA?" SO good!

Worth the hype!
This book❤️ Totally worth all of the hype! And I’m really sad that it’s over. Literally finished it in 1 day, I could not put it down! From start to finish, I was hooked! This one gave me a serious case of butterflies in my tummy! I just loved it! The witty banter was adorable, & their interactions felt so genuine & heartwarming. I enjoyed the parallels between their stories. And both dealing with complicated relationships with their mothers, which created a strong connection between them. Themes of starting over, letting go, mental health, found family, & choosing yourself were beautifully woven throughout the book. Couldn’t get enough!
