Why read it?

1 author picked June First as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

The book is a behemoth, and I read it in a day. On top of that, I cried the entire time I read it. Let me tell you, I actively avoid and hate movies, books, television, etc., that make me cry, but June First is my exception. 

I love a love story that withstands decades. I love matches that feel fated. I love it when characters mature and learn. This book has all of that and more.
