Just for the Summer
by Abby Jimenez · Forever · 2024
Engineers attachment by alternating two confessional first-person voices that narrate their own self-protective wounds in real time, so the reader's investment compounds as the comedic curse-cancelling premise gives way to caregiving and grief. Buildup dominates page-time; the rare on-page intimacy lands as emotional payoff rather than escalation of heat.
Engineered signals
Six measures of how hard this title works the immersion engine. Each is captioned with what it means — the catalog scores every book on the same axes.
What this book is tagged
The full tag set, grouped by dimension. Heat & Kink and Content Warnings are the explicit signals — surfaced, not buried in a flat trope list.

Pairing & Orientation
Location
Share of page-time spent on buildup and tension rather than payoff. High values mean the book sells the wait, not the moment.
How strongly the narration collapses the gap between reader and protagonist, peaking with first-person, reader-insert voice.
The "book boyfriend" pull: how hard the text works to form a one-sided attachment to a love interest.
Cliffhanger and serial-loop intensity — the compulsion to start the next chapter or installment.
How steeply intensity ramps across the arc. A steep slope is the tolerance signal: each payoff has to outdo the last.
