Booked & Bitter

Curses, Healing and Chaos

Abbey, Bailey, Krys & Mandy Season 1 Episode 7

In this episode, the ladies go full deep-dive into Abby Jimenez’s Just for the Summer—a book that somehow manages to juggle trauma, emotional growth, mental health, and still sneak in enough humor to make you snort-laugh in public. They spill their (very different) opinions on the characters and plot, calling out the tearjerker moments, the swoony bits, and the “oh no she didn’t” twists.

Of course, it’s not all sunshine and banter—family baggage, addiction, and messy mental health realities all get airtime too, proving that literature can hit hard while still being wildly relatable. The crew also side-eye society’s judgments, dissect controversial themes, and ask the truly important question: what’s the ideal wiper speed?

Bottom line: three of the four ladies love the book and one is wrong. They all want more Abby Jimenez, and they’ll keep talking until you hit that follow button on every social platform known to humankind.
