What this book is about

Justin is a practical man who doesn't believe in curses. Emma is a hopeful romantic who has noticed that everyone she's dated ends up happily married — to someone else. They agree to date just for the summer, then break up, theoretically sending each other off to their happy endings. Abby Jimenez's 2024 romance is a funny, warm, and emotionally satisfying slow-burn about two people who fall in love while trying not to.
