June First

By: Jennifer Hartmann

Narrated by: Neill Thorne, Stefanie Kay

Want to know what happens to a man who barely claws his way out of a tragedy, only to fall right into the arms of the one girl in the world he can never have?

Another tragedy, that's what.

When I was six years old, my father made a choice that altered the course of my entire life. Because of what he did, the only girl I ever loved became the only girl I couldn’t have.

In a lot of ways, I did have her; I had her first steps, her first words, her first smile. I had her milestones, her heartbreaks, her dreams. I had her heart so woven in with mine, I didn’t know where she ended, and I began.

Only, as the years pressed on, lines became blurred—and the blurrier the line, the easier it is to cross.

They say tragedy comes in threes. For me, that was true. The first one changed me, the second one broke me, and the third one healed me.

But at the center of all that tragedy, there is a love story. And at the center of that love story, there is June.

"Jennifer Hartmann penned an exceptionally unique story with every emotion digging its claws into your heart. June First is an unforgettable masterpiece!" (Jewel E. Ann, USA Today and Wall Street Journal bestselling author)

"A touching coming of age story that oh-so-slowly kindles, and when it ignites, hold on tight because oh baby, this forbidden love burns. The angst and steam alone will overfill your taboo-loving heart. Such a beautiful, unforgettable book." (Pam Godwin, New York Times, Wall Street Journal, and USA Today bestselling author)

This book is tragic, endearing, inspiring, and expertly written. Hands down best I've ever experienced.

Heartbreaking and Heartwarming

This beautiful story was so sad, sweet, happy and heartwarming. What an amazing story of personal growth and love.

Beautiful story line.

Loved the story line. Trauma affects your life but does not have to define who you are, you can always be better for it.

It was a good read but it was too long.

I filled how long it was didn't feel necessary but it was a good read.
