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.

What is this book about?

Tasha
He was handsome, confident, nice, smart—a good guy.
How did he end up here in the middle of Indiana?
And how did he know so much about whooping cranes?
I’d never met someone as passionate about birds as I was.
Was it too soon for me to be thinking about love again?
Caleb
She was sweet, kind, caring—a nurse and a birder.
I really liked her. Maybe more than liked.
And I’d only spent two hours—three, tops—with her.
Yet, I’d promised myself I wouldn’t get involved with anyone for at least a year after my divorce.
