So before I delve right into this review, I’m warning you all now that I am 110% biased. Ha!! I’ve known about this book for some time, and I was a beta reader for the author…that said, I’ve been rooting for this book for a while now and I’m so, so, so glad it’s finally on sale for you all to read. But aren’t all of us rooting for our favorite books anyway??In Finding June, debut author Caitlin Kerry tells us a poignant story about growing up and finding yourself after you thought you had your life already figured out. For June, a recent college graduate with the world at her fingertips, not finding a well-paying job and not being able to follow her carefully planned life goals is a real buzz kill. With everything working against her “plans,” she finds herself in the same dead-end job she once had…but sometimes the old brings out something new. And that something new is encased in the gorgeous Reece Day. June can’t resist Reece’s boyish charms, but still tries with all her might to not fall for someone she thinks has no life goals or dreams. What she ends up figuring out is that Reese, also working a dead-end job, has life more figured out than she could ever hope for herself.Since I read this book during multiple editing phases, I felt like I saw something really good evolve into something really, freaking amazing! Like a caterpillar becoming a butterfly, Finding June—and June herself—were well written. There were times that I got frustrated with June because she couldn’t see all the awesome opportunities she had at her fingertips, and I loved that frustration because it was something tangible Caitlin created through the words. As a reader, you could really sense June’s indecisiveness with her life and with Reece.And Reece? Boy oh boy, is he one charming fella!! I completely fell in love with him, a head over heels kind of love. I honest to god believe he was one of those really soulful characters that it doesn’t matter how he’s described physically, you instantly fall in love with his voice and the things he says.My favorite part about this book is that even though there is romance, it was a full-fledged story that we don’t get to read very often in our world of smutty book boyfriends. It’s refreshing and exactly what you need on a lazy, Sunday afternoon. I highly recommend this, and promise that you’ll love and enjoy it too!! <3
