Loved this book! I was drawn in immediately. The story of June bug and her father, was touching, and moved me to tears, and laughter more than a couple of times. The writing is fantastic! I fell in love with the characters and got emotionally involved, so much so I was tentative about reading the last bit, as I worried about the outcome. Its silly now that I am finished with it, but I could only read a little at a time, for fear it would not turn out the way the characters deserved. (yeah I got a little attached to them) However, I wanted so badly to know how things would get tied up. I don't want to spoil anything for anyone, but I will just say, it was a beautifully written story and was more than pleased with the ending of it. The only thing I didn't 'groove' on was the religious references, and innuendos, they are not my thing. But I am glad I read this novel, and it will stick with me for a long while.
