Saving June
As soon as I saw the cover and synopsis for Saving June, I knew right away that I wanted to pick up this book. I found myself just as enamored once I started reading an ARC, courtesy of Teen Book Scene. I couldn’t sleep until I knew what happened. Although Saving June isn’t one of my top ranked contemporaries, it certainly did not disappoint.At the very beginning of the book, Harrington throws several questions straight at Harper and at the reader, which hooked me right away. Even though I was initially unsure about Harper’s idea to go on road trip, I think Harrington executed her ideas nicely, making sure that the parents weren’t invisible and that her characters had to think through practicalities. Plus, she also went on to address all of the questions which she presented later in the novel, and I liked the way the plot tied up.What I wasn’t so fond of in this book were the characters. I actually really liked Harper. I thought that her character was nicely developed and well fleshed. I didn’t find Jake to be the most original character. I thought that he and Laney were both impulsive, and at times they got on my nerves.Even if I didn’t find Saving June flawless, it was a readable, emotional, and enjoyable story. Harrington has a knack for character development. I’ll definitely be keeping an eye out for more from her in the future.
