Six More Months of June by Daisy Garrison

3.75

This book was chosen for my MG/YA book club, and I think the general consensus for it was along the lines of "it's complicated." I really liked the characters and their individual and collective arcs. I quite loved the friendship-to-possible love between the two main characters, and the side character Hollis was a refreshing take on the mean girl archetype (no spoilers, but maybe deep down, she isn't really that mean?). The writing is good/compulsively readable, and I laughed out loud and marked quite a few passages that I loved. But the content is... a lot. I don't like a lot of the choices the characters make (which are presented very bluntly and unapologetically). It's also a very issue-heavy book and I felt like there was an unnecessary passing mention/allusion to a character having been on the verge of a suicide attempt in the past. It's not one I passed on to my own teens though there was a lot I did like about it. Though the content isn't graphic on the page, I still recommend checking content warnings.
