Spotlight: SAVING JUNE by Hannah Harrington

Happy Release Day, Hannah!

From Amazon:

"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."

Doesn't this book sound good? 

It looks like the book has already been released in Australia and is getting rave reviews, which is making everyone here even more excited to read it!

From Kirkus:

"...Harper's voice rings true, and readers looking for a mildly steamy romance (with more than a splash of alcohol, smoking and sex) won't be disappointed..."

From VOYA:

"Just when you discover Tyler's connection to Harper's sister, the climax takes the reader on a gigantic twist. This is a work of realistic fiction. The author portrays the life of wayward teens who seek independence. Although the language may be a bit salty, it is realistic. The story also includes the theme of budding romance, with some sexual expression. SAVING JUNE should become a movie some day – it even includes a soundtrack."

A gigantic twist? Okay, I am so there!

Find SAVING JUNE at your favorite independent bookstore via Indiebound or order from Amazon or Barnes and Noble.
