Instant #1 New York Times bestseller and a Good Morning America Book Club Pick! This witty, slow-burn rom-com is the "ideal beach read." --Elle 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?

"4.25⭐️"

Sher Free✌️

"I didn’t read any of the books prior to this book, but the ending felt rushed. I liked the character development towards the end of the book, but the romance wasn’t as great as I thought it would be. "

Melissa

"This book is so so good! Made me laugh and cry. I love all her books but this is now my favorite! I fell in love with (almost) every single character. "

Skye Edelson-Bennett

"I understand why everyone loves this book, but something about the pacing in the beginning was not my favorite. I also feel like there were details missing in certain areas that I would’ve loved. Although, I enjoyed the bonus chapter about Maddy and Doug. I also really liked that how heavily connected this was to the other two books. "

Jamilah

"🎧 read - so good. But how did I start at #3 in the trilogy? Planning to listen to the first two soon. Right mix of humor, drama, angst, romance, and true friendship mixed with life trauma and mental health challenges. Good story with predictable and unpredictable twists. "

Jackie Davidson

"5/5 ⭐️ oh my gosh!! I loved it! I think it was made even better after reading the Friend Zone series and other books in the Part of Your World series. The easter eggs and characters that come back are incredible!! Highly recommend reading in publicatikb order. It will add so much to the reading experience. Mental health rep, realistic struggles based on characters pasts and just a fully thought out story line that was really meaningful! 0.5/5 spice level. If you like audiobooks this is great on audio and has some interview questions Abby answers that made me love the book even more! "

"Cute romance. Emma’s and Justin’s lives felt real and relatable. Emma’s history with her mom and her moms mental health struggle was heartbreaking. Watching someone suffer is never easy."

"Book 3 Part of Your World- This book was hard to read. I can’t imagine all of the grief that these characters had to deal with. But what a beautiful love story where they find themselves through the trauma. Also good book about working through mental health. "

Nicole Sinders

"I enjoy that Abby Jimenez has more to her stories than just romance. The characters and their problems seem very real. There is a lot of trauma in this book and it feels realistic and relatable in a life is messy and complicated kind of way. The characters have to work through a lot to get their HEA and I was cheering them on the whole time. "
