Justin and Emma suffer from the same curse: everyone they date ends up going on to meet their soulmate immediately after breaking up with them. So the pair comes up with a plan to break that curse: they should date each other for just long enough (one month, four dates total) and then break up so they can each meet their own soulmates. Except when they meet, the sparks fly and Justin in particular is determined to make this relationship last longer than required by their agreement. However, both of them have some serious baggage to deal with too: Justin's mom is headed to prison and he'll soon become the guarding of his three minor siblings, while Emma's a traveling nurse who only sticks around anywhere for three months tops (which may or may not be a holdover from her nomadic childhood with a largely negligent mother and bouncing around in foster care).
While all romance novels feature an element of unbelievability, this one features some of the most believable problematic dates, hurdles to the relationship, and solutions to problems that I've seen in quite a while. It's a fantastic slow-burn romance with an amazing cast of characters well beyond Emma and Justin. Highly recommended!
