June Bug by Chris Fabry
4.0

This book was amazing. I remember going to the library and staring at this book for a while, not sure if it was really something I was going to be into. But I'm glad I did get it. It had me choked up a little, which does not very often for me. I absolutely fell in love with Junebug and Johnson. And the ending upset me so much, but it was also very sweet and endearing. Mae really got on my nerves in the end, but I wanted to smack myself because of that. [SPOILER:] Of course she was needy and annoying, scared and worried. Her granddaughter had been missing for years, and she finally got her back. But one thing I didn't like.. I understand it was a Christian focus, but some parts really bothered me. I myself, am a Christian. However, I think Christian or not, you can be a good person. I know some athiests, some agnostics, some muslims.. a lot of them are great people. Some parts of this book suggest otherwise. "I grabbed my wad of clothes and got changed and then we went back to the truck and there were all of the sandwiches we hadn't finished from Melinda's family. I put two and two together and figured those people must have been Christians." This annoyed me.. but then I remembered this is from a little kid's perspective. Unfortunately though, some Christian adults have this perspective also..

But anyhow, this was cute.
