This week on Bookmarked Banter, we’re diving into Just for the Summer by Abby Jimenez—and let’s just say, we have thoughts. 💛

From swoony, “if he wanted to, he would” energy to the kind of emotional depth that sneaks up on you, this book gave us all the feels. We’re talking about Justin (yes, THAT Justin), the kind of love that feels like home, and the moments that made us pause, rewind, and reread.

We break down our favorite quotes, the tension, the growth, and why this story hit so much deeper than just a summer romance. Because sometimes… it’s not about the place—it’s about the person.

Grab your iced coffee (or your emotional support snack), and come hang out with us as we unpack one of our favorite reads of the season.
