Publisher Description
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?

Love all of it.
This book was so enjoyable and relaxing to read, entertaining and funny. Plus the narrators voices were pleasing and right on point.
This is an ♾️ for me. Hands. Freaking. Down.
This book had me laughing out loud and crying out loud too.
Emma’s growth and character development was beyond beautiful. Her childhood trauma was absolutely devastating and the fact that she works to overcome it and how Abby articulated Emma’s growths and struggles was stunning.
Justin. I. Am. OBSESSED. The unicorn floaty…I mean come on. If you know you know. If you don’t. Read. This. Book. Also, the amount of time he puts into his dates with Emma 😍. How he takes on the extra responsibilities of his family and is unwavering is so sweet, and speaks to how much of an amazing character he is. He’s definitely one of my favorite romantic mmc’s.
Maddy 👏 is 👏 the 👏 best 👏. Talk about a supportive supporting character who speaks the truth and never says I told you so. I adored Maddy so much.

Favorite Quotes:
“The love stories sold us the wrong thing. The best kind of love doesn’t happen on moonlit walks and romantic vacations. It happens in between the folds of everyday life. It’s not grand gestures that show how you feel, it’s all the little secret things you do to make her life better that you never tell her about.” 🥹
“You are not what happened to you. You are what you do next.” 💛
“What are you thinking?” I asked. He didn’t answer for a long moment. When he did, he did it with his eyes closed. “All I ever think about is you.” 😭
“Be glad you don’t get it. It means your life has been a lot gentler than hers.” 🫶
“How did you get here?” I asked, looking back at him. “Did someone give you a ride?” “I paddled on the unicorn floatie.” 😭😭😭
Amazing
The most amazing book I’ve read (heard) I love it. So much emotion
