June Rosewood followed the plan. College degree? Check. Longtime boyfriend who is possible husband material? Check. Finding a job after school? Working on it. Yet, it only took one emotionless conversation on a beach in Mexico for everything to fall apart. After running away for the summer, June’s back in Boise, can’t find a job and is stuck working as a waitress.
When June runs smack dab into Reece Day, her new coworker, she knows to stay far away from him. After being away from the town Reece grew up in, his journey has brought him back to where it all began. Reece is searching for forgiveness, but also stumbles upon the lively and smart mouthed June, who is so clearly lost in herself. Reece catches June's attention with his uncanny ability to always get under her skin, leaving her questioning what she really wants in life.
Soon, June embarks on a journey of self-discovery to let go of the plan, because sometimes the unexpected surprises along the way are the most important and meaningful.
***Finding June is intended for ages 17+***
I love reading the stories that describe the character and their feelings so well you know exactly what they are going through. At times June did seem a little immature, though at other moments some of her decisions were made with more of a mature outlook which I felt made her a little more relatable. When characters in books are overly immature it can sometimes be annoying but I think that the amount that Junes personality shows was just right as it reflected her vulnerability. June is lost and a little heartbroken at the start of the book and it really shows in her attitude and the choices she makes. When meeting Reece she is standoffish at first, showing just how much her past relationships have affected her, but gradually they do develop a friendship and then some thing more. Their relationship isn't rushed and their personalities compliment each other making for a great love story. I also really liked the ending of this book, I won't say too much because I don't want to give anything away but it was great to see June following her heart and not giving in to other people's expectations of her. It's always good to read about a character finding their strength. 4/5 <3s
