Description:
Justin believes he’s cursed: every woman he dates meets her soulmate right after they break up. When a viral Reddit thread exposes his “good luck curse,” Emma—who has the exact same problem—slides into his DMs. They come up with a wild plan to date each other and then break up to cancel the curse. Emma, a traveling nurse, takes an assignment in Minnesota so they can spend the summer together in a cute cottage on a private island on Lake Minnetonka. What’s supposed to be a light, temporary fling turns serious when Emma’s toxic mother shows up and Justin suddenly becomes guardian to his three younger siblings, forcing them to face childhood trauma, found family, and the very real possibility that their “practice” relationship might actually be the real thing.
