Every so often there are characters that I really connect with, and June is definitely one of those characters. In fact, I identified with her so much that a lot of this story was actually painful to read. I felt like I was reliving part of my life over again.

Feeling as though she could never live up to her family, June makes a lot of choices designed to make her feel wanted, but ultimately leaving her feeling more alone and adrift than before. I wasn’t sure if she was going to break out of that cycle at any point during the story.

There is a lot of hope at the end of the book. But I also think there is still a lot of uncertainty as well. I don’t think anything was resolved with her family, especially with her mom. Some of her other relationships were strained towards the end as well.

I would love to know where June ends up down the road, I don’t know if a sequel has been considered. But if not, I’ll just write the story I hope for her in my head.
