Six More Months of June is a dual POV story of two best friends, Mina and Caplan, who are in their last month of high school. An unlikely pair with Caplan being the golden boy and Mina being a bookish loner type, they have been best friends since third grade, withstanding the social norms of school. And when Caplan's friend confesses he thinks he has feelings for Mina, both of their worlds get turned sideways. Mina is starting to become friends with all of the people she has been avoiding for years, and Caplan just wants things to stay as they've always been. Filled with funny quips, teenage shenanigans, and end of high school jitters, this sweet story makes you realize that sometimes destiny has been right in front of you all along.
This was a really cute, fun story that was done very well as an audiobook. I enjoyed both narrators, the nostalgia I felt while listening, and the kind of cliche high school hot boy realizes the nerdy girl is actually pretty and someone he might have more feelings for trope. I really liked Caplan and Mina's relationship and how even when Caplan became the golden boy of the school that he never let Mina go as a friend. I liked the breaking of the social norms, that Mina did have some necessary character growth, and the resolution of the story.
I would recommend to anyone looking for a pretty light story that is a pretty classic high school story with a little twist, funny characters, and a suburban small town feel.
