Harper Scott's older sister, June, took her own life a week before high school graduation, leaving Harper devastated. So when her divorcing parents decide to split up June's ashes, Harper steals the urn and takes off cross-country with her best friend, Laney, to the one place June always dreamed of going—California.
Enter Jake Tolan, a boy with a bad attitude, a classic-rock obsession…and an unknown connection to June. When he insists on joining them, Harper's just desperate enough to let him. With his alternately charming and infuriating demeanor and his belief that music can see you through anything, he might be exactly what Harper needs. Except…Jake's keeping a secret that has the power to turn her life upside down—again.
Saving June was a beautiful story. It truly captures the world-stopping feelings experienced by close family but also by close friends when a life is cut short. This book has an excellent grasp of teenage angst with a well-rounded view of different lifestyles and how everyone has something to deal with. I loved this book and will be recommending it to my 14-year-old daughter.
